It’s great news for fans of the hip-hop stars, who linked up on Fiddy’s 2002 mixtape Guess Who's Back? when Nas featured in Too Hot and Who U Rep With.

However, the pair were rumoured to have fallen out after 50 took aim at Nas and his then-wife, Kelis, on the track Piggy Bank, with Nas hitting back via the track Don't Body Ya Self.

On the track, 50 referenced Jones' former tattoo of Kelis, rapping, “Kelis said her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard/ Then Nas went and tattooed the bitch on his arm.”

The hip-hop heavyweights finally got back on good terms in 2014.

The exciting news comes ahead of 50 Cent’s highly-anticipated Australian tour this December, which will see the Candy Shop rapper celebrate 20 years of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ with several stadium shows Down Under as part of his Final Lap world tour.

He also revealed that R&B star Jeremih will join him on all dates of the Down Under tour.

Fiddy’s tour also comes on the heels of Wu-Tang Clan and Nas’ N.Y. State Of Mind Australian Tour which headed to our shores back in May.

Since the release of Fif’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, the hip-hop icon has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and has leveraged his star power to achieve unparalleled success as an entrepreneur, actor, director, and executive producer.
