====Kurupt====
By his association with [[DMX (rapper)|DMX]], Ja Rule was brought into the beef between DMX and [[Kurupt]], being dissed on Kurupt's 1999 song "Callin' Out Names". Ja Rule responded with "Still INC" featuring [[Black Child (rapper)|Black Child]] and [[Cadillac Tah]], a freestyle over [[Dr. Dre]]'s "[[Still D.R.E.]]" beat. The two eventually squashed their beef on the set of the movie ''[[Half Past Dead]]'' in 2002.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kurupt Says No To Beef: It's All Love For Ja Rule, Pork Ribs |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1458768/kurupt-says-no-to-beef-its-all-love-for-ja-rule-pork-ribs/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803074937/http://www.mtv.com/news/1458768/kurupt-says-no-to-beef-its-all-love-for-ja-rule-pork-ribs/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 3, 2020 |access-date=May 31, 2018 |website=Mtv.com}}</ref>
