 Seemingly inspired by the ghost of Biggie Smalls, 50 Cent and The Game officially, and publicly, squashed the ongoing feud that exploded into gunfire last week after 50 kicked Game out of his G-Unit clique for disloyalty.
At a press conference held at Harlem's famed Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the two former drug dealers/multi-platinum rappers seemed reluctant at first but eventually shook hands at the end of the press conference.
On the eighth anniversary of the unsolved murder of Notorious B.I.G., 50 said it was all about moving forward and not repeating the mistakes of the past.
"We're here today to show that people can rise above the most difficult circumstances and together we can put negativity behind us," said 50. "A lot of people don't want to see it happen, but we're responding to the two most important groups, our family and our fans."
"I just want to apologize on behalf of myself and 50," said Game. "I'm almost ashamed to have participated in the things that happened in the last couple of weeks."
It still isn't clear whether The Game has been taken back into the G-Unit fold.
50 presented a giant check for $150,000 to the Boys Choir of Harlem. Game donated $103,500. The Game also made a contribution to the schools music program in his native Compton.
"It is the first time we've seen 50 publicly take a step back" from a battle, said Elliott Wilson, editor in chief of the hip-hop magazine XXL.
