Fat Joe and Ja Rule took to the stage at Madison Square Garden for Verzuz, the epic music battles created by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hip-hop legends made 20 rounds, playing their hit songs like “Between Me and You” and “Livin ‘It Up” by Ja Rule and “All the Way Up” and “All I Do Is Win ( Remix) “by Fat Joe.
Friends and collaborators joked with each other between songs, and Joe made fun of Ja Rule about his participation in the Frye Festival a few years ago.
Ashanti, Remy Ma, Lil Mo and Vita appeared.
Jadakiss also surprised the audience by taking to the stage to perform “New York” with the MC’s, as well as Nelly who performed “Hot in Here.”
Despite some occasional beards, Joe and Ja Rule expressed love and admiration for each other, making it one of the friendliest “battles” to date.
