The rap war that seemed to be spiraling out of control showed the first signs of a ceasefire last night.
But rapper 50 Cent told The Game that accepting the olive branch was up to him.
And he refused to say what would happen if his nemesis refused to kiss and make up.
"I am allowing them the opportunity to bow out, to move forward," 50 Cent said in a live interview on Hot 97 broadcast from an undisclosed location.
"If me competing is making the New York Police Department feel like there is going to be violence, then I will fall back for a moment.
"I am making a conscious decision to try to be nice about this. The situation is definitely unfortunate, but I'm going to try to communicate with him.
"I know people think that I love trouble, but I just don't run from it."
The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, has made no signals that he intends to end the beef.
On Saturday, The Game taunted 50 Cent on stage in California, and told him, "Come and get me."
And 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, refused to answer when interviewer Angie Martinez pressed him yesterday on what would happen if The Game didn't want peace.
The feud already has injured one of The Game's pals, Kevin Reed, from Compton, Calif., after shots were fired outside Hot 97's studios in SoHo last week.
It escalated from a war of words after The Game, a protégé of 50 Cent and a former member of his G-Unit crew, appeared on Hot 97 praising fellow artists Nas and Jadakiss - bitter foes of 50Cent.
50 Cent lashed out when he was interviewed on the station last week, and said he had banished The Game from the G-Unit for disloyalty.
The Game and his entourage heard 50 Cent trashing him and returned to the station. Gunfire rang out while 50 Cent was still on the air.
Cops have ratcheted up security at hip-hop hot spots in the city, afraid the feud will escalate.
"What he said is not enough to say I hate him," said 50 Cent.
"It's something we can get past. It's not that crazy. I want to have a conversation with him to figure out what's going on."
