Drake’s Uncle Passes Away and Ja Rule Gets Sentenced to Jail

July 18th, 2011 | By

A lot of folks were looking forward to the Drake concert that was supposed to take place on July 16th in Orlando, Florida at the Universal Orlando Resort (as part of the Universal Studios Concert Series). The reason he canceled the concert was due to the death of his uncle (the second artist in Young Money to have a death in the family this month – Nicki Minaj’s cousin died on July 4th).

“We regret to announce that Drake will not be able to take the stage at Universal Orlando Resort due to a death in the family,” a rep for Drake said in a statement released today. “He hopes that his fans understand the situation he finds himself in and know that he fully intends to return to the area in the future. He thanks Universal Orlando Resort and his fans for their continued support.”

Other unfortunate news was also received for other artists – but on a more criminal note. For one, Ja Rule will be serving another 2 years and has to pay $1.1 million owed from income taxes from earnings from 2004 to 2006. He failed to pay the $3 million that he was ordered to pay. He will also be serving time for attempted criminal possession of a weapon back in July of 2007. He pleaded guilty to the charge.

“I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal,” Ja Rule said, reports the AP.

“I was a young man who made a lot of money — I’m getting a little choked up — I didn’t know how to deal with these finances…” said Ja Rule.

Ja Rule Drops Beef with 50 Cent

May 29th, 2011 | By

It has been a long while since Ja Rule had beef on 50 Cent, especially with conflicts and other arguments the two hip hop artists had. But, with Ja Rule declaring truce, it looks like everything will turn out just fine.

Ja Rule is making sure he has everything settled before going to prison for two years and he is doing just that through dropping the issues he had with 50 Cent.

Ja Rule says that, “I’m cool. We ain’t beefing no more. We’ll never collaborate. That’s just what it is. You don’t have to be at war with somebody, but it’s also kind of like U.S. and another country that they may not get along with. We don’t gotta go to war, but we’re not friends either. But we can coincide inside of a world. He’s doing him, and he’s not thinking about me, and I’m doing me and I’m not thinking about him.”

Although he argued back at 50 Cent’s taunts regarding Ja Rule going to prison, he was ashamed at lashing out, especially since he said that he was taking the Twitter attacks seriously.

Nevertheless, Ja RUle is looking forward to better relations among fellow music artists, especially in cutting off grudges against 50 Cent. Ja Rule is ready to take on things a better, even expressing how he was angry that he let 50 Cent get to him.

Ja Rule is to spend two years in jail for having a loaded semi-automatic gun in his sports car.

Hip Hop Rappers Going Soft

October 18th, 2008 | By

There’s always been hype about the hip hop industry and how many of the rap artists that enter into the game come out hard and then go soft. One of the first rappers to do that was Ja-Rule. He rapped about women, money and cars with hardcore lyrics while rockin’ a bandana and hip hop jewelry; but a couple albums later, he had a love Jones. Many of the songs he released there after were love songs featuring singers like Lil’ Mo and Ashanti. A lot of his fans didn’t like the new Ja and he eventually fell off. Even other rappers took notice of the bad boy gone soft and started beef — remember when 50 Cents came out with that controversial hit?

Well, Ja Rule isn’t the only one that has “fallen off track”, but there’s a new buster in town. Kanye West is best known for his ill lyrics and old school approach, but his new album is definitely different than his hardcore self. Many fans are mad about his new R & B, techno-beat feel. You may have already heard a few of them, like “Love Lockdown” and “Coldest Winter”. Some congratulate his attempt to sample new waters while others are mad about another good rapper gone bad.

His new album has a more R & B sound and those that have heard it — well, some are a bit disappointed. There are a lot of heart broken songs on there, but it doesn’t really seem to be talking about a girl of interest. Some folks have speculated that he could be making this album for his late mother…who knows?

What do you think?
