Heavyweight rapper Fat Joe has hit out at Nas for ending his feud with former rival Jay-Z, accusing him of going soft.

The hip-hop feud ignited when Nas' girlfriend, and the mother of his daughter, CARMEN BRYAN admitted to an affair with Jay-Z.

The enemies have since settled their differences, with Nas last month (JAN06) even agreeing to release his records through Jay-Z's Def Jam label.

But despite the pair promising it is in the best interests of rap, Fat Joe insists Nas has let himself and others down.

He says, "I used to look up to Nas a lot. And I don't even really respect what he did.

"How do you become a friend to a person who disrespects your baby's mother? It's too much ugliness.

"I almost died, as a hip hop fan, when I heard they were together."
