Fiddy & Game Squash Feud
50 Cent and the Game have decided to play nice.
The rappers put an end to their public feud Wednesday at a press conference at Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, where they shook hands and vowed to declare a truce.
Tensions between the two erupted into gunfire last week and left one man wounded, after Fiddy booted the Game from his G-Unit posse, claiming his protégé had been disloyal to him.
As 50 Cent announced the Game's expulsion in an onair interview, the Game's crew rolled up to the building to seek retribution. Guns were fired outside and a member of the Game's posse was shot in the leg. No one has been arrested in the shooting.
Fiddy mentioned that Wednesday marked the anniversary of the unsolved murder of Biggie Smalls in 1997, a death that represented the culmination of the East Coast-West Coast rap war between Smalls and Tupac Shakur, who was himself murdered in 1996.
"We're here today to show that people can rise above the most difficult circumstances and together we can put negativity behind us," said 50 Cent, who hails from the Brooklyn. "A lot of people don't want to see it happen, but we're responding to the two most important groups, our family and our fans."
"I just want to apologize on behalf of myself and 50," said the Game, who's from the Los Angeles suburb of Compton. "I'm almost ashamed to have participated in the things that happened in the last couple of weeks."
At the conference, 50 Cent presented an oversized check for $150,000 to the Boys Choir of Harlem, while the Game presented a check for $103,500. The Game also donated money to the Compton schools music program.
It was not clear whether the Game would be reinstated in G-Unit.
Making amends may have been easier than usual for 50 Cent, given the crushing success of his latest album, The Massacre, on the charts this week.
The album sold 1.1 million copies in its first four days of release, rocketing to the top of the charts after dropping early to thwart the efforts of bootleggers and pirates.
In a statement issue earlier on Wednesday, 50 Cent announced that he was launching his own charity.
"I'm launching a new foundation, the G-Unity Foundation, Inc., to help people overcome obstacles and make a chance for the better in their lives...to help them overcome their situations," the rapper said. "I realized that if I'm going to be effective at that, I have to overcome some of my own. Game and I need to set an example in the community."
Meanwhile, in the aftermath of last week's gun battle at Hot 97, the owners of the building that houses the radio station are looking to make some changes.
The city carpenters' union owns the 10-story Manhattan building and is headquartered there. However, after two high-profile shootings involving rappers have occurred at the radio station (Lil' Kim is currently on trial in New York for her role in a 2001 gunfight at the station), the union says that rappers should be limited to bringing only one person with them to interviews at the station.
The union also wants Hot 97 to advise its members of radio appearances a week ahead of time so that additional security measures can be set in place. Hot 97 has until Friday to agree to the new rules.
