He also rehashes his beef with Ja Rule and says Eminem is not being realistic in his cries for peace in the single “Toy Soldiers.” But what will really have heads turning are his comments about fellow NYC fire-spitter and Interscope labelmate, Jadakiss. 50 tells the Hip-Hop mag, “I don’t even see him [Jadakiss] as competition.
