Ja Rule Is So Ungangster – Jail for Tax Evasion

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 22nd, 2011

This is just further evidence of how Ja Rule is such a poser, and is the most ungangster guy. There’s one thing about going to jail for murder (not that we condone that) or dealing drugs – but tax evasion?

Ja Rule got tacked on another 28 months in prison for tax evasion for failing to file tax returns with the IRS for more than $1.1 million in taxes. Ja Rule’s lawyer told MTV News, ”We were all very concerned about what the potentials were, and we think that the outcome was very fair and that the court took him into account as an individual, and we appreciate that tremendously,” she said.

Ja Rule is already serving time for attempted gun possession stemming from a 2007 arrest. This guy is getting what he deserved. Don’t screw around with guns and pay your taxes.

Ja Rule Set For Prison Sentencing

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 8th, 2011

Ja Rule is set to go to to prison, reports Billboard.

The rapper and actor was sentenced to two years in a New York prison on Wednesday, after pleading guilty in December to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

“My last day out,” he wrote on Twitter yesterday afternoon, adding that he was spending it at the movies with his family.

Police officials said they found a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun in the rear door of his $250,000-plus Maybach sports car in 2007, which they had stopped for speeding.

“Laws are laws,” Ja Rule said Monday on ‘Good Day New York.’ “There’s nothing I could really do but own up to the situation.”

“You know, I try not to regret anything I do in life, because you go through life and you do things, and you man up to them. You own them.”

In other legal news, Ja Rule also pleaded guilty to failing to pay taxes on more than $3 million in income. He faces up to three years in prison in that case, but his lawyers are trying arrange for his sentences to be served at the same time. Smart decision: kill two birds with one stone.

Ja Rule may be able to cut six months off his sentence by meeting requirements for good behaviour. Hopefully he learns his lesson, he seems to be pretty aware of the situation.

Ja Rule’s Prison Sentence

Posted by Lauren Treihaft on March 10th, 2011

Yet another popular rapper has acquired a prison sentence. Ja Rule will join the ranks of Lil Wayne, T.I., and Gucci Mayne, who have all served time for various criminal charges.

Perezhilton.com reports that Ja Rule will serve a two year sentence for his July 2007 New York gun charge. The rapper was caught carrying around a loaded firearm, which is an extremely indictable offense especially in the state of New York. How could we forget P Diddy’s (Puff Daddy, Sean Combs) little gun incident at a New York night club in 2000?

Meanwhile, Ja Rule’s lawyer says that he will be finish his new album Renaissance Project before his term. Who knows, perhaps this prison sentence could inspire a whole new album. He’ll definitely have a lot of free time on his hands.

Ja Rule Teams Up With Former Rival The Game

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 25th, 2007

Former rivals JA RULE and THE GAME are putting the past behind them, and have teamed up to record a track for the former’s newest album.

Former G-Unit member The Game collaborates with Ja Rule on Sunset, which will appear on Mirror – his first offering in almost three years – due out 13
November (07).

Ja Rule tells RollingStone.com of the unlikely pairing; “I don’t think people were expecting that. But we got a hot record on the album.

“The whole industry is so focused on beefin’ with each other – it’s like the WWF of rap right now. I’m stepping out of the arena. I don’t want to be a wrestlin’ rapper.” (KJM/WNWCM/ES)

Ja Rule Lawsuit Dropped

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 19th, 2007

JA RULE has had a lawsuit filed by a New Jersey contractor dropped – because the complainant fears for his safety.

The rapper – real name Jeffrey Atkins – was accused of failing to pay contractor Joel Tobia the remaining $8,000 (£4,000) balance of a $13,000 (£6,500) bill, after he agreed to fix a bad leak at the star’s Saddle River mansion earlier this year (07).

But in a dramatic U-turn on Thursday (16Aug07), Tobia withdrew his criminal complaint against Atkins, telling Superior Court Judge Roy F. McGeady he was “extremely uncomfortable going forward with this case”, reports the New York Daily News.

Appearing at Hackensack Municipal Court, he added: “People are asking me, ‘Do you know what you are doing?’

“I have two children. I am concerned. I hope you are reading between the lines.”

Atkins, who was not in attendance, is a close friend and business associate of The Inc. boss Irv Gotti – born Irving Lorenzo – who has previously been linked to convicted New York drug lord Kenneth ‘Supreme’ McGriff. (MT/WNWCDN/MEH)
