Ja Rule has blamed 50 Cent for the New York Knicks losing at home to the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Playoffs.

The Knicks went down 100-94 and the “Always on Time” rapper blamed the defeat on the presence of his longtime nemesis.

In a post on X, Ja wrote: “Man I knew my Knicks was gonna lose as soon as I seen that black cat (rat) in the building….”

50 has yet to respond to Ja’s taunt.

Issues between 50 and Ja have been at their most heated in years over recent weeks following the death of Murder Inc co-founder, Irv Gotti.

Following the passing of the record executive, 50 appeared to celebrate, posting a picture on Instagram of himself smoking next to a mock gravestone.

Ja then revealed how badly the move affected him, saying on The Breakfast Club: “I was hot, I was ready to go nuclear and shit.”

Ja later appeared to actually hit the nuclear button on social media and accused 50 of being a snitch.

“@50cent SUCK MY DICK you bitch ass n-gga… I already ate your lunch shut up!!!” he wrote on X. “Until you do something to the n-ggas that shot you you can’t troll no more… [laughing face emoji] handle your business chump lmao…
