Rap beef can be a messy business, with it defining the genre for some good reasons and a couple of bad ones. However, once you overcome that obstacle and can actually reconcile with someone, it can make for a great relationship. Moreover, Freeway and Jadakiss recently appeared on Instagram with a message to the youth about ending feuds. The two rappers, from Philly and New York respectively, started their spat in the 2000s, so they have the experience to back it up. Also, it took around twenty years for them to settle things, as they first reconciled in 2021. Still, this post is a necessary message for many.

"Out Yonkers with my bro,” Freeway captioned his post. In another slide, Freeway and Jadakiss spoke to younger artists about the value of squashing beef, which has proven to be a dangerous activity. “I’m in Yonkers with my brother, Jadakiss,” he began. “And this is a lesson for all y’all younguns. Y’all got beef, and y’all think you can’t squash it. And y’all think it’s impossible to squash it. Me and this man had beef at one time. And this is my brother now.” “We here now, you know what I mean?” Jada added.

"Here’s a little history lesson for all y’all young folks out there that think killing is the answer,” Freeway wrote on Instagram back in 2021. “At one time me in my bro @beaniesigelsp was enemies with @jadakiss and the whole #Dblock! It was definitely up! But we managed to come together talk it out and now we are brothers that work together and provide for our families! Think about the decisions you make before it’s too late!"

"A lot of y’all don’t know, behind the scenes, we’re brothers for real,” said Jada with his arms around the Philly natives. “Allah is the greatest. These my real brothers and Philly’s my second home. We got a lot of things about to happen and a lot of dudes can’t do this or say that, but if I die tonight, these my brothers for real.” For the latest on Jadakiss and Freeway, stick around on HNHH
