Part 1: Tony Yayo on Altercation with Ja Rule on Flight: He's Lucky 50 Cent Wasn't There!
--------
In a recent interview, Tony Yayo opened up about the tension between 50 Cent and LL Cool J regarding the song “Paradise,” which 50 helped write. LL Cool J had downplayed 50’s contribution to the track, mocking the fact that 50 wrote the chorus. Responding, 50 Cent expressed hurt, saying it felt like "someone punched me in the stomach," revealing he wrote multiple songs on the project.
Yayo defended 50, highlighting his songwriting skills, especially his talent for crafting compelling hooks—a skill 50 also used in writing for artists like Diddy. He called “Paradise” one of his favorite records and stressed that 50’s contributions deserved respect. Yayo also acknowledged LL Cool J’s legendary status but felt the remarks were unnecessarily combative, coming from a Queens veteran who they all look up to. The exchange reflects underlying tensions but also shows 50’s valuable role behind the scenes in hip-hop songwriting.
