(FinalCall.com) - On November 3rd, Black Entertainment Television (BET) was the first media outlet to air the interview the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan gave to rapper Ja Rule in hopes of bringing a peaceful resolution to the feud between him and fellow rap artist 50 Cent.  BET broadcasted the taped meeting in its entirety on its 106 & Park primetime show.  Later that evening, MTV also aired excerpts of the interview during a special news broadcast.

Despite media reports last week that 50 Cent would not meet with Minister Farrakhan, his manager, Chris Lighty, confirmed via a telephone conversation with Nation of Islam Chief of Staff Leonard F. Muhammad that, as soon as a meeting with Minister Farrakhan can be arranged, 50 Cent will definitely sit down with the international peace-maker.
