How did eminems and ja rules beef start?

Eminem and Ja Rule's beef started in the late 1990s when Ja Rule's labelmate, DMX, had a feud with Eminem. Eminem took shots at DMX in his song "Role Model," which led Ja Rule to respond with his song "Loose Change." The two continued to trade insults in their songs, and the feud escalated in 2000 when Eminem released "The Eminem Show," which contained the song "Go to Sleep," which was a direct diss at Ja Rule. Ja Rule responded with "Doe Rae Me (Ha Ha)," which was released on his 2001 album "Rule 3:36." The feud continued for several years, and the two have traded insults in their songs and interviews ever since.
