50 Cent and Fat Joe‘s unlikely friendship continues to flourish thanks to an unexpected source: the New York Knicks.
The former foes were both courtside at Madison Square Garden on Monday night (April 6) to watch the Knicks take a 1-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After the thrilling 121-177 win, the G-Unit general and Terror Squad leader were seen dapping each other and sharing a laugh as the entire arena reveled in the victory.
Joey Crack posted a video of the moment on Instagram and wrote: “One down Let’s gooooooooo,” while tagging the Knicks and 50 Cent, along with Power Book III: Raising Kanan actor MeKai Curtis who was sat next to them at the game.

The “Lean Back” rapper also shared another clip of Knicks star Josh Hart — who registered 24 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists in a tireless 48-minute performance — embracing him and Fif courtside after the buzzer.

50 Cent and Fat Joe’s bitter feud exploded in the mid 2000s with diss songs like “Piggy Bank” and “My FoFo,” not to mention a near-fight at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.
But the pair have long since buried the hatchet and appear to have even become friends in recent years.

Last year, Joe gave 50 his flowers by crowning Get Rich or Die Tryin’ “one of the greatest albums of all time.”
“It’s crazy ’cause I had beef with him and I wouldn’t allow myself to hear it, wouldn’t let DJs play it. But I knew that it was G-Unit,” he said during an episode of BET’s Diggin’ in the Crates.
He continued: “His flows, his melodies, his beats, the energy Hip Hop music had never felt. That energy that he was coming with, it was like, yo, this is that — you got that dangerous thing to it.
“He teamed up with Mr. Professional, Dr. Dre, and Eminem. See, 50 Cent woulda still been amazing but he’d have came with those New York beats that was really really good, but once again, Dr. Dre makes everything iPic. He makes everything crystal clear. He just gives you that professionalism like you on a podium or something.”

Fif and Joe also shared the stage together in Brooklyn last summer when the former’s Final Lap Tour rolled through the Barclays Center. Fan-captured clips showed them dapping each other up before Joe performed “Lean Back” and “All The Way Up,” with 50 serving as his hype man the whole time.
