AceShowbiz - Ja Rule has proven haters wrong. Taking to social media, the "Mesmerize" rapper boasted about signing a new label deal "potentially worth $100 million.
The 47-year-old emcee, born Jeffrey Bruce Atkins Sr., bragged about his new achievement via X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, January 4. "Just signed my new label deal potentially worth a hundred mill… LFG!!! Thanks for the love and to the haters SMD," he declared.
The post has since drawn mixed reactions from Internet users, with some of them joking about his neverending feud with 50 Cent. In response to a fan who wrote, "Let's respark up the fued with 50," the New York emcee replied, "Loser mentality… That's beneath me!!!"
Another individual criticized Ja Rule by writing, "Giving you100mill unless it for your catalog." Catching wind of the comment, he penned, "imagine saying no one giving me 100 mill unless it's for my catalog which I OWN and is actually worth OVER 100 mill."
Accomplishments aside, Ja Rule and 50 Cent's feud have made headlines in recent months. When making an appearance at the Pencils of Promise gala in October 2023, Ja Rule opened up about his performance at the 2023 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards and Fif's offensive statement about it.
"I do not feel like I need to explain myself," Ja Rule told Page Six. "He is just a clown, a troll."
During his September 6 performance, Ja Rule was tied to a wooden column while delivering his song "One of Us", which is featured in his biblically titled album "Rule 3:36". "I was not on the cross. I was actually on a stake, which is what [Jehovah's Witnesses] actually believe Jesus died on," he further clarified to the outlet. He additionally stressed, "A stake versus a cross."
"I feel like I've sacrificed a lot in this industry. Not nothing in the realm of Jesus Christ, don't get me wrong," Ja Rule explained. "What people fail to realize is they act like Jesus was the only one up there, and they were many men being crucified at that moment, too… They just so happen to be criminals. Maybe I am not mocking Jesus, maybe I am one of the criminals."
