Wendy Williams managed to evade security at a 50 Cent party despite the rapper banning her from attending the event.

The US presenter took her son Kevin Jr to the party in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and later shared a photo of the three of them on her Instagram, captioning it: "Nothing like Uncle @snoopdogg on your 19th birthday!!"

According to TMZ, Williams was not aware that she had been blacklisted by 50 Cent until after she was allowed in by security.

1) Ja Rule is robbed at gunpoint in Queens

2) Fight breaks out between 50 and Ja in Atlanta

50 and Ja Rule got into a physical altercation at an Atlanta nightclub, where they were both booked to perform. Both their neck chains were broken during the fight – a member of Fif’s crew found Ja’s pendant, and 50 claimed that a deal was made to return it in exchange for a Movado watch – Ja denied that was the case. In a 2016 interview, Chris Gotti offered his own take, which was that the two were talking one-on-one when Ja hit 40 Cent with several questions at once. Fiddy lashed out, then Ja Rule allegedly pulled his shirt over his head and began swinging punches. Whichever side you believe, the incident proved to be a massive catalyst for the events that followed.

3) 50 Cent gets stabbed

In March 2000, after receiving word that 50 was recording at the Hit Factory studios in New York, Ja and his crew decided to pay the rapper a visit. In the altercation that followed, Fiddy suffered a stab wound, and Ja Rule and Murder Inc. rapper Black Child (L) were both arrested. Black Child took credit for the stabbing on record, claming it was an act of self-defence. In interviews after the attack, 50 consistently downplayed the incident.

4) Fiddy is accused of signing an order of protection

After the brawl at the Hit Factory, Irv Gotti (L) claimed Fiddy signed an order of protection against him and Ja, in an attempt to put his street credibility on the line. It was later confirmed that the order does exist, but was issued on 50’s behalf – not his request – as a formality by the NYPD. In June 2018, Ja Rule shared the order again on social media and called 50 Cent a rat.

An unknown gunman opened fire on the offices of Violator records and Violator Management (pictured) – which was handling Fiddy’s career at the time. No one was injured in the shooting and there were no arrests, but early reports tied it to the feud between Ja and Fif.

10) 50 Cent buys 200 tickets to Ja Rule’s concert so the seats will be empty

The latest of many, many chapters in this ongoing and now quite exhausting saga is when 50 claimed to have purchased 200 tickets to Ja’s forthcoming show in Las Vegas, with the intention that there would be a bunch of empty seats at the gig. In the posts on Instagram, he shared a Photoshopped image of himself sitting among the empty seats, along with an edited video that showed Ja Rule performing to an empty venue. Ja Rule seemed more amused by the stunt than anything, tweeting in response: “I get under @50cent skin… I love it!” Later he posted a photo of 50 Cent, which was Photoshopped to look as though the rapper was wearing makeup and a wig.

The rapper later posted a video that appeared to show her being denied entry, commenting: "You can't just show up to my PARTY if you been talking about me... B**CH wait out side."

His dislike of Williams appears to stem back to when she suggested he "get his life together" while filming The Wendy Williams Show in October 2017.

In response he wrote an Instagram post that alluded to the cheating rumours surrounding her husband at the time, Kevin Hunter.

"Wendy Williams just told me to get my life together, smh your husband is not a bad man, he deserve a side chick for talking to you, you ugly motherf**ker Focus on your own s**t b**ch," he said.

In March this year, he mocked Williams' confession about living in a sober house, in since-deleted Instagram post.

"I knew something was up with this b**ch. It as the drugs [sic]," he wrote. "She better not talk about me, then go to the rehab every day. Crack head. Get the strap."
