Ja Rule | Where Are They Now? | Ja Rule Commercial

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Ja Rule has been making headlines once again after releasing a teaser trailer for his upcoming reality TV show, “Celebrity Show-Off” disguised as a low-budget local Greek Restaurant commercial. He would also begin hosting private house parties to continue making banks during the lockdown and face endless ridicule for his involvement in the Fyre Festival Scandal. As much as I hate to say it, the time hasn’t exactly been kind to Ja Rule’s legacy. The man is still very much a part of celebrity culture, but after blowing up in 1999 thanks to his hit debut album, “Venni Vetti Vicci” -- a project that featured the likes of Jay-Z, DMX, and Memphis Bleek -- he’s never quite reached those same heights again. To be honest, public perception of him has very little to do with his music, and a whole lot more to do with the feuds he’s engaged in with the likes of Eminem and, more importantly, 50 Cent. These two have been feuding on and off again for close to 20 years now and after Ja released the teaser for his newest television show, fans were already lining up for the 50’s inevitable response.
