Ja Rule Addresses Jennifer Lopez, V-Nasty & French Montana’s N-Word Usage

    The use of the n-word was brought up during a newly-released interview with Ja Rule and Vlad TV when the Queens, New York rapper was questioned about Jennifer Lopez’s use of the word on her “I’m Real (Remix),” which Ja Rule wrote and also appeared on.

    On the song, Lopez raps, “I tell them niggas, mind their biz, but they don’t hear me though.”

    According to Ja Rule, there is an “unwritten” rule that Puerto Ricans and those of Spanish descent can use the n-word.

    “It’s kind of an unwritten thing that Spanish and Puerto Ricans and niggas—We’re all kinda in the same family,” Ja Rule said. “So, it’s like why can’t she say ‘nigga’? All my Spanish niggas I know say ‘nigga.’ I never looked at them in any way and said ‘Yo, watch that.’ I think they were upset because they don’t see her as Jenny from the block, Jenny from The Bronx. They see her as this global icon. Matter of fact, some people probably see her as white. So, it’s just one of those things. And I think that’s why people were really upset. Because they don’t understand the dialogue that is used in our hoods. They don’t understand. That’s how Puerto Ricans, Spanish people speak. That’s how black people speak. And we are allowed to speak that way amongst each other…It’s different when somebody outside of your group says it. Then it becomes ‘Okay, well why are you saying [it]? Are you saying it because you think it’s cool?’ Just by not knowing makes it a problem.”

    Ja Rule was later questioned about white rapper V-Nasty and Moroccan rapper French Montana’s use of the n-word. He explained that V-Nasty doesn’t get a pass to use the word despite “how hood” she may appear and also revealed why an artist like French Montana does get a pass.

    “It’s not about being hood,” he said. “It’s not about being from the hood that gives you the pass to say. It’s being that minority. I don’t care how hood you are you will never share my struggle. You will never look in the history book and say ‘God damn, those were my people that were being slain and hung and so forth and so on.’ Never. So, I think that’s where the issue comes. I say certain people get passes like that because they are deemed that…You can look at it however you want to look at it, but I know for a fact. From living on both sides of the fence that our neighborhoods are policed different than white neighborhoods.”

      1. French is an African, he was born on the continent, he grew up with us, has kingly hair and is not white so leave him alone.

      2. French’s people spoke French because they thought they were better than African’s. I’m pretty sure they enslaved them just like their European idols.

    1. The truth is artists who have careers don’t do interviews for Vlad TV. Ja is desperate but you would never see someone like Drake, Wayne, Ross or T.I. sit down with this culture vulture.

      Seriously. Ask yourself when was the last time DJ Vlad had a relevant artist sit down on his couch for an interview?

    2. Lol oh get the fuck out, whites aren’t even the majority anymore everyone is in everyone, Spanish did some awful things to Mexicans and native Americans they should t have any fucking right to say nigga, same with Asians, same with whites, if Puerto Ricans can say it then fuck it everyone can say it, it is in the end just black in Spanish you fucking morons.

      1. Puerto Ricans are our extended family same as the Native Americans, we all share a common enemy in Caicasians. Caucasians refer to all non-white people as Ni99ers, if you are Asian they call you a yellow ni99er if you are Hispanic they call you a brown ni99er, they invented the slur so they have that right.

    3. The reasoning is crazy. Jews were enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years. You and your dirty people dont know the Jews struggle Ja. Read a book.

      1. No proof outside of myths in the Bible that Jews were ever enslaved, no texts, no glyphs and no evidence. Just a myth like Atlantis and Lemuria.

      2. if you dont like the jews stance then how about children? children of all colors and creeds are used for labor and sexual exploits across the world for millenia.

    4. Ja rule posts photos of himself on IG playing golf with plaid socks. He’s the whitest negro alive. We didn’t forget about his tennis playing past or his Jehova’s witness upbringing either.

      1. Golf stopped being white when Tiger took over, Tennis stopped being white when the Williams sisters took over, Ja Rule is still Black, Black wife, Black children, and Black Child on his squad.

    5. I agree with Ja Rule. Personally, I don’t care who says it, as long as they’re not white. White people have a history of using that word while oppressing black people, which is why it’s considered offensive. Hispanic people or Asians or whatever never hung black people from trees and called them “N*ggers”, so it doesn’t really have any kind of negative meaning coming from them, unless they’re attempting to use it the same way whites do. I’m not impressed

      1. But its HISTORY. Thats the key word. Im white and Im not hanging black people in my front yard. That was the shitty past. ( I also dont say “Nigga”)

      2. ^cosign the real Spanish enslaved africans and took them to colombia the dominican republic, cuba, peru, chile, venezuela, bolivia you name it.

        And Tell that to those racist mexican mafia dudes on the westcoast who will kill black people cause they stepped into their hood

      3. LOL, the last place slavery became illegal was Brazil. The conquistadors were spanish and made natives and slaves from africa the poor workers and slaves in the latin american societies. I guess that’s the knowledge you get from rap fans trying to comment on history.

      4. Nigga no. Everybody that ain’t white don’t get a pass to say that. Have you forgotten that they had slavery in Latin America too? Don’t you know arabs like French Montana used to oppress us as well? Even all these asians coming in our neighborhoods, taking our jobs and shit.

      5. ^ Latinos are a result of white spanish people raping black slaves and native women. They have black blood in them. So I’m not sure what you mean by “slavery in latin america too”, they come from slaves and have black blood in them too.

    6. Who cares about the history books and how things are policed.

      The point is, that ITS HISTORY. EVERYONE should stop using the big bad N word

    7. Man alot of ignorance on these comments
      Puerto Ricans our history we are half black an Indian we only speak Spanish because of Spain comming over an forcing us too speak it enslaving us an bringing Africans there too work with the taina Indians there our original language isn’t Spanish

      1. All huemen are considered Ni99ers by whites which is why they have attempted through history to exterminate all cultures they classify as not being white. So called white people are actually mutated albino ni99ers who mated with Neanderthals and lost their melanin due to climate.

    8. Blacks don’t wanna hear white people use the N word or replicating their culture. Yet the largest consumers of hip hop music are white & these kids hear rappers dropping N bombs everywhere. That’s why you hear white girls at parties singing “If you don’t know now you know N….” Every mainstream rapper’s core fan base is white. Not just Tyler… Kendrick, Jay-Z, Kanye, Wayne, 50 cent. You know whites are listening – don’t get mad.

      1. young white girls love to say ni99er but you cant get mad at them they hear is all day every day in the music they choose to listen to

      1. ^^ Doesn’t matter. If it didn’t have “Ja Rule” on its headline, the comments section wouldn’t be doing platinum numbers.

    9. Ja Rule on V-Nasty – “You will never look in the history book and say God damn, those were my people that were being slain and hung and so forth and so on.”

      V-Nasty is half Vietnamese – grab a book on the history of what they went through in the 60s and 70s Ja.

      Your move fucktard….

    10. wtf is this? Puerto Ricans and Hispanics always try to deny their African roots and a lot even straight up hate us. Maybe that’s how they get down in New York…

      1. “Puerto Ricans and Hispanics always try to deny their African roots”

        Maybe because the most of them do not have “african roots” you dumb fuck !!! for instance, jennifer lopez has no african roots. She’s just amerindian blood mixed with spanish ancestry. and it goes the same with fat joe, big pun, etc.

        The only spanish people with “african roots” are the ones who look straight up blacks like fabolous (he’s dominican).

        Jennifer Lopez should not use the n-word. Fuck this unwritten rule ja rule is talkin bout !

      2. Actually yea Puerto Rico has the biggest white population out of all the latin countries that had a heavy african slave population, but that has become over time. Don’t forget where you come from. The white in most puerto ricans is more dominant because they got a lot of that racism from the spanish and they started thinking it was bad to mix with the africans on the islands. That’s why they self hate. I hate a self hating Puerto Rican, half of the cities in PR have African Names. But there are parts of PR that are full of BLACK ppl, like the area Tego Calderon grew up, don’t forget about those communities though they may be small.

      1. A lot of Puerto Ricans have African blood in them.. very mixed,just like Brazilians. Spain was ruled for 800 years by the Moors who were African and Arabs so the Spaniards have some Black in them too. Jlo probably has some Black in her to get an ass like that.

      2. “A lot of Puerto Ricans have African blood in them”

        check your informations before you said stupid things. “a lot” of puerto ricans do not have african blood in them. some of them but not the majority. get your facts straight punk ass bitch

      3. ^^ My man… why are you quick to rebuke that statement? Even if it’s not true, does the tought of living in a country where the majority are of African descent hurt you or something? Do you puke when someone uses a darkskinned person to represent your homeland?

    11. All tha crakkas on this site feeling real salty right now, looking up ancestry.com to find out if they have any black in them hahahhaaha everytime white people say nigga, they look like V-Nasty hahaha

    12. im white ive lived in some pretty fucked up places and ive never felt like i should use that word. matter fact the white ppl i know that due use it i feel use it to try and fit in rather than the experience of a rough childhood. thats just how i look at those white ppl who do use it.

    13. on that note if hes going to be consistant do it all the way..spanish people cant look in the history books and say thats their people either.. so if your mad at one race do it consistantely

      1. And that’s y whites don’t get no pass to say nigga, u knew what the fuck he’s talking about, but wanna get technical…. U fuckin crakkas

      2. SPANISH AREN”T LATINO, YOU are the actual idiot. The spanish, PEOPLE of SPAIN, conquered LATIN AMERICA, which were all black and indigenous populations speaking different languages, Taino Indians and Origins of Africa. They were killed, enslaved, and taught Spanish and Christianity, THAT is why they speak spanish you retard

      3. Africans were only there because they were brought as slaves you idiot. It was the indigenous Americans who are the real originals there.

        Never understood why the term “Latino” is used, Latin is Greek.

    14. Apparently these people don’t know that the Spanish had a BIG hand in the slave trade… Where do you think the word ‘nigga’ originates from?

      1. And that’s y whites don’t get no pass to say nigga, u knew what the fuck he’s talking about, but wanna get technical…. U fuckin crakka

    15. I don’t get why people say “puerto rican” (or just “hispanic”) as if it’s a race. So now there’s no such thing as a white person who happens to come from latin america? A muthafucka could be blonde with blue eyes and he’ll still get a pass because he comes from Puerto Rico???

      1. No, they don’t. You obviously don’t know the difference of race and ethnicity and or the origin of Latin America. You can be a white Puerto Rican, Mixed, or a Black Puerto Rican, It’s just like America. Some people have the idea that just because they are from PR that black ppl in PR don’t get discriminated against. The majority of the people from Spain are Caucasian, spain is NOT latin America. Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama were all countries in the African diaspora who were traded into slavery.Some of the first slave uprisings were in PR, learn the history of your fellow black brother before you all start spitting dumb shit on websites. Its crazy how much American Blacks don’t know shit about the other Black people in the world, do better and educate yourself

    16. The one person who makes me cringe when he says Nigga is DJ Khaled! That guy is an arab. He’s from an Aryan race, its as white as it gets.

    17. “you will never share my struggle. You will never look in the history book and say God damn, those were my people that were being slain and hung and so forth and so on. Never. So, I think thats where the issue comes.”

      That’s some bullshit from Ja ass. It’s just ignorant of any nigga to assume other races can’t relate to struggle. What about the Irish? They had they ass beat down by the English for 8 centuries and the first slaves sold in America were actually white Irish people. When I use the term ‘white boy’ I ain’t thinking of people like Irish, I’m thinkin of oppressors. I don’t think any white person has the right to say ‘nigga’, but for Ja to say that no white people can relate to struggle is just ignorant ass talk. Because us niggas has a lot more in common with a people like the Irish than we do with Puerto Ricans.

      1. Real talk

        I read a book on slavery and the Irish were the first slaves to arrive in in the US brought by the English. The irish were also brought to the Caribbean with the Africans and interbred which is why so many Irish surnames survive there. Montresat is the only other country in the world besides Ireland that has St.Patricks day a national holiday, lol.

        I agree that whites should not get a pass for saying nigga but I agree that we share a lot with the Irish people in regards to oppression. Ireland has suffered over 800 years of oppression from England which continues on to this day.

      2. u obviously NOT black so stfu! it’s also about the struggle NOWADAYS. (irish) whites ain’t no fuckin minority in sense of gettin looked at differently so WHAT THA FUCK ARE U TALKIN BOUT?! them people aint strugglin like blacks or latins do. and that’s a FACT. and u wouldn’t understand until u affected. and i’m not tryin to play the race card and/or tryin to offense white people. i know a whole lotta cool white boys and they can relate to a certain degree but that’s where it stops. and it’s not they fault. it just is what it is, deal with it.

      3. Pick up a fuckin history book dumbass, irish were extremely discriminated against in other countries you idiot.

        Saying they don’t have the same struggle? Their country is war torn for centuries,smh.

        Irish are a race of their own regardless if skin color.
        Do some research before you make uneducated statments in the future.

      4. Also you do know there is still no peace in Ireland at present which happens to be “NOWADAYS” you moron.
        Btw I’m from New Zealand, my father is somoan and my mother is Irish. I’m not white but at least I know about other peoples struggles too. Your clearly just focused by skin color which makes you a fuckin racist.

      5. There has never been a form of slavery like the tranactlantic slavery or the African holocaust where we were classed as non-human and therefore fit to be treated as chattel, bred and worked to death for profit maximization, and where western and European civilization has its beginning and industrial roots and where racism has institutionally branched out today, leaving your once slave in dispair and economically hopeless around the globe.

      6. how does a history book help me when i get racial profilied, fuckboy? u talkin HISTORY, i talk PRESENT.
        african americans and latins are the most disadvantaged minorities and that’s a fact. tell me that has nothing to do with skin color…smh… and pointing that out makes me a racist?
        foh w/ ur new zealand bitch ass, u know nothing about the struggle of a black man in america.
        plus the “war” in ireland has NOTHING to do with having “the wrong skin color”, so all these points are irrelevant. it’s about not being black and dropping the n bomb. so sit ur dumb ass down and stfu already.

      7. The war in Ireland in one imperialist country oppressing a whole race/culture……………sound similar? Lol. God dude you are fucking ignorant.

        You obviously don’t know a lot about other countries or history.

      8. Btw everything I just mentioned is “PRESENT/NOWADAYS” you idiot. So sit your ignorant uneducated ass down you fucking simpleton,smh.

        Funny how all the first poster was just saying that Blacks can relate to the Irish considering all the FACTS, but you had to turn it into some other shit like a bitch.

        It’s easy to tell that your a very uninformed angry little man who just likes to argue with others for the fuck of it.

        Take this L and don’t ever leave that basement of yours until you educate yourself a bit better on the world. Self righteous bitch.

      9. whole race? which race? british whites vs. irish whites? lmao… this shit is about irish ppl wanting to be independent, not about any race. and that’s my whole point. it is NOT about race.
        now if u wanna talk race and persecution, let’s talk north africa where light skinned/arabic ppl hunt blacks. or even gaza strip where the palestines try to fight israel. these r conflicts i care about.
        so fuck u and ur ireland lovin bitch ass.

      10. Once again all you do is make yourself look more ignorant and foolish.
        Just because the oppressor and victim share the same skin color then they cannot be persecuted/oppressed???…..idot. Anyway I guess you better than written history,right? All you have to do is educate yourself better. I actually feel kinda sorry for you now.

        Irish and English come from totally different backgrounds, moron. Why you focusing on just skin color? Lol.

        So by your argument a Somoan and and African or Indian (who all share a dark skin color) are the same race based on skin color alone?? Lmao you really are a simple minded fool.

        GAME OVER DUMBASS. I just keep laughing at how ignorant,narrow minded,uniformed and stupid your comments are, each one worst then last.
        Keep digging yourself in that hole of yours. At least I know there are plenty of intelligent Black Americans who agree with me.

        It seems you just can’t learn. You my friend are an idiot 🙂

      11. fuck u talkin bout “game over” u hoe ass pussy ass snotnosed bitch. u still didn’t get my point so who’s the ignorant and foolish one bitchboy?
        why am i focusing on the skin color? CAUSE THAT’S WHAT THIS NEWS IS ABOUT U DUMB MUTHAFUCKA!
        god damn, can’t be serious… tryin to make me look stupid w/ all this ireland jabbering. u wouldn’t understand the struggle of black and brown people in america. the pain is different. but again u wouldn’t know cause u would never experience it like that. so STFU already. go read a book or try to make it seem like u would know shit about shit. in real live u prolly just a kid from the burbs. u ain’t bout that life potna, u ain’t shit. and u do know that.
        fuck ya, i’m out

      12. Kid from the burbs? Lol, I ain’t no kid either. I’m half Samoan, much bigger than your pussy ass, so I would crush you like an insect little faggot.
        Like I said, each comment more ignorant than the last. Like nobody in the existence of man has suffered or are suffering except for Africans.

        You are a disgrace to your race. No point repeating myself as you obviously don’t have the intelligence to understand,smh.

        Stupid faggot, lol.

    18. I wouldn’t care if J Lo called me nigga what if you fuckin her and she say “fuck menigga” you gonna get mad?

    19. so hip hop has gone commercial and now your mad that white people are following its trends? if they don’t mean it in a bad way who the fuck cares?

    20. I am the only black African decent who don’t is use the n word because I am not apart of the slavery which harshly done by the Americans I agree with Ja Rule Arab reject DJ Khaled and Sisy Montana don’t have the moral rights to use the n word because they are dead from the brain or brain damaged it’s best if they leave the music industry they are not popular with the world death racism death to oppressors death to death to gays gay marriages lesbian lesbian marriages and all other weirdo death to all tyrant’s leaders Israel and it’s alias who want to turn against people from all backgrounds and ethnicities who are leaving together peacefully let all live together let’s all live together peacefully without no weirdos in it

    21. 6 million many jews were exterminated during the holocaust. It was in the 1940’s . The faced a “struggle” & then moved ahead & I don’t know any Jewish people who sit around crying about what their people faced on every Internet & news site . They have Flourished actually .
      The emancipation proclamation was in 1863 . Still crying & looking back instead of moving ahead and forward to make your culture better .

      1. I bet those reparations helped your people make your culture better, which helped you flourish. What a dumb comment, maybe you should go study AMERICAN history more.

      2. 1863-1964-jim crow laws, segregation, theft of land; assets, institutional racism

        1964-2014-institutional racism, racial divide, inequality, wage theft

        eat a dick fred

      3. “Jewish people also received reparations from their enslavers, unlike Black Americans.”

        nicca we let you ride the bus what more do you want?

      4. White skinned devils slaughterd millions of their white skinned brothers during the holocaust because they classified them as being non-white. Jewish historians say that the Holocaust lasted 7 years.

        Freakish white skinned albino mutants with their sickly pig like skin are nothing more than filthy Neanderthal mutants. Human swine.

        Many white skinned Neanderthal albino mutants will attempt to compare a 7 year holocaust with a 400 year holocaust because white skinned people are inherently evil and devilish by nature.

        White skinned Jews received reparations and their own homeland and they reintegrated into white society and now they own all the diamond mines in Africa.

        White skinned reptilian devils spent 400 years raping, brutalizing, castrating, murdering, mutilating and dehumanizing Africans who they brought to America to be sexual slaves and human chattel.

        White devils attempted to destroy these kidnapped Africans with their brutality and savage acts of barbarism but the Africans survived.

        Wicked white devils raped men, women and children, hung them from trees and mutilated their sex organs and burned them alive, in a “struggle” for equal human rights the white skinned mutants assassinated Black leaders, bombed Black churches and terrorized an entire community of Blacks with vicious acts of white terrorism.

        The pig skinned reptilian albino mutant is against nature because he has recessive genes and a shriveled pink sex organ, the sun scorches his skin and he peels like a snake because mother nature despises him and his hairy Neanderthal mutated self.

        Jim Crow, Apartheid, Miscegenation laws, predatory lending, gentrification, segregation and all types of sick dysfunction in society omes from the white boys insecurity of being a genetic recessive mutant who fears genetic annihilation through miscegenation

        White bitches bring Black babies into the world when they intermix and anytime a whiye bitch has a baby with a dominate man with color the baby is no longer classified as white, the dominate takes over the recessive which is why the white boy is so insecure about race mixing and interracial dating, he knows that we could wipe him off the planet by just fucking his women and bringing colored babies into this world.

        Death to the genetic recessive albino Neanderthal mutant.

      5. dude must love typing his own name, every post he makes he comes back 5 minutes later and autographs his name in the next post.

      6. “Albino
        White skinned devils
        Freakish white skinned albino mutants
        sickly pig like skin
        filthy Neanderthal mutants
        Human swine.
        white skinned Neanderthal albino mutants
        devilish by nature
        White skinned reptilian devils

        LMFAO @ bruthadee, Is this is how he spends his weekend evenings? while most people his age are out having fun with the opposite sex, he’s on hhdx writing actual racist essays about white devils that no one takes seriously

      7. Yes good point

        Same as Indians, who went through the British Raj. Now you can go to any college in the USA and see libraries filled with Indians.

        The black american community has let itself down, and become the joke of the world

    22. Sucka ass bitches wanna identify with the “struggle” so bad just so you can say n!993r……but Blacks don’t urge to say k!ke or ginger

      whitey gotta a slur for everyone who don’t look exactly like him, you out here ass-kissing pawn

      even got dumbasses talking about Morocco & France….it’s called colonization idiot

      LOLxSMMFDH

    23. Ugh.., Ja Rule you can’t give French Montana a pass either. French Montana, V Nasty, Kreashaywn, Dj Khaled, and the rest of wack ass culture bandit fuckers should never get a pass at all! Fuck em!
