Next to a surprise course at Madison Square Garden, 50 Cents were in a recent dispute with Joe Budden.
G-UNIT founders shared front-row moments with former rival Joe Budden and longtime Frenemy Fat Joe during the Knicks-Pistols race Monday night (April 21) at Madison Square Garden, and showed a truce in a weirder beef in hip-hop.

Seeing 50 cents turning around in the seat and talking to Budden, Budden sat behind him with his girlfriend. Fat Joe was once involved in his 50-year-old hatred and sat next to him.

The unexpected approach of the three was not overlooked by social media, and users pointed to the irony given their turbulent past.
After the game, 50 cents confirmed that the Cold War with Buden was officially thawed.
“I met Joe in the game,” he wrote on social media. “He said I no longer need treatment!”
The settlement comes after a messy round trip earlier this year, after 50 Cent mocked Irv Gotti’s death.
Buden replied, “50 cents need treatment. I don’t care if you agree with the basics. 50 is 50.
However, this review is not very good with the 50’s. He was retaliated by Toler Budden in a December 2024 incident that was charged (later removed) with allegedly exposed in the corridor of his apartment.
50 Cent posted AI-generated images in the underwear in the imitation video, even superimposed on D’Angelo’s body.
Joe Budden then threatened legal action, prompting 50 cents to call for face-to-face meetings. Monday’s game seems to have grown into a long-awaited sit-down.
