New York rappers Ja Rule and DMX ended a long running feud last night during the 6th Annual "VH1 Hip Hop Honors" taping, which commemorated Def Jam Records’ 25th anniversary.

DMX and Ja Rule stood together last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and took pictures with fellow Def Jam alumni Ludacris and Foxy Brown.

Today (September 25), DMX’s manager confirmed that the picture was not just a promotional opportunity, ending years of speculation about his relationship with Ja Rule.

“He has a new attitude , a new team. He looks good and [now] he is squashing beefs. [And] his performances are breathtaking,” DMX’s manager Nakia Walker said.

“Great to see DMX and Ja Rule squash their beef after all this time,” Ludacris Tweeted. “Vh1 hip hop honors. A historic night indeed.”

DMX and Ja Rule’s feud goes back to 2000, when DMX recorded the track “Do You,” which took shots at Ja Rule, claiming the rapper had copied his signature, gruff style of rapping.

The track set off years of bickering via radio interviews and diss tracks like DMX’s “Ruled Out” and “They Want War,” as well as Ja Rule’s tr ack “Judas.”

Last night, DMX took to the stage in a collaboration with Gym Class Heroes for his 1999 hit single "Party Up,” while Ja Rule and Ashanti as they performed their hits "Down for You" and "Always On Time."

Other performers included KRS-One, Onyx, Rick Ross, Method Man, Redman, Warren G., The Roots, Jazzy Jeff, Erick Sermon and others.

"VH1 Hip Hop Honors" will premiere on Tuesday, October 13 at 9 PM ET/PT.
