Hip-hop's most famous provocateur may be putting to rest some rivalries.

In a rare showing of diplomacy, 50 Cent revealed to MTV that he had had private conversations with Jay-Z and Diddy--the latter of whom Fiddy had been feuding with for several months. Photos surfaced of the rapper hanging out with Jay-Z backstage at Jay's Detroit show with Eminem at Comerica Park [video here]. 50 had been Em's guest.

"We got a chance to kick it for a minute," 50 said referencing Jay. "I know people were interested in what that conversation was like. But they can ask Jay-Z."

"I take people's actions as if it's genuinely how they feel. I can only use what I saw you do as if that's what you meant. I can't understand what your motivation was prior to that. I had a conversation with Puffy the night before Jay. He gave me a whole new perspective on his actions. He's like, 'I understand the way you felt because of what I was doing at the time. But I wasn't thinking what you was thinking I was. You done hit me nine times. I'm just in the fetal because I understand why you are attacking me. But if I can't touch bases with you to tell you what I'm thinking or why I did it, then you can't understand it.' We created a little clarity out there."
