Ja Rule & Ashanti Are Working Together Again

    Ashanti and Ja Rule are working together once again. 

    The “Always on Time” artists were in a recording studio over the weekend. Ashanti said it felt “great” to reconnect with the rapper who recently spent two years in prison. Rule was incarcerated following a 2007 arrest for weapons possession and was also convicted of failing to pay federal taxes in 2011. He served close to two years in prison before being released to house arrest. Shortly after Rule’s release from house arrest, he and Ashanti met to collaborate. 

    Ja Rule and Ashanti worked on a variety of songs over the years including 2001’s “Always on Time,” 2002’s “Mesmerize” and 2004’s “Wonderful.” In the midst of their success with Murder Inc. the label was faced with legal issues. 

    In May 2003, it was reported that the federal government launched an affidavit against Murder Inc. for a possible money-laundering scheme. In an effort to alter their brand’s image, the label changed its name to The Inc. that same year. Eventually, the label would fold and relaunch without Ja Rule, the label’s former star, on the roster.

    In June, Ashanti addressed the topic of reuniting with Ja Rule.

    “I spoke to him the other day and I’m super, super excited for him,” Ashanti said. “He is in great spirits…He has a studio downstairs in the house. That’s where he’s gonna be all the time. He’s super excited about the music…Hopefully, we get it all popping. It’s no denying our chemistry…I mean, he has to focus on his stuff right now. And I gotta focus on mine.”

    A picture of Rule and Ashanti in the studio can be found below, as posted on her Instagram account.

    1. Just seen pictures from Ja Rules welcome back home party from the other night! Only people in the building you could recognize was N.O.R.E. and Benzino! LMAO, no Ashanti, no DMX, no Jay-z, no Fat Joe!

    2. Gucci Mane is the realest rapper and heres why.

      – all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
      – Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
      – Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
      – T.I. snitch to the feds
      – Young Jeezy was never bmf
      – 50 Cent snitch and was never in jail but a youthcamp
      – Game was never a banger but lived the life of his brother in his lyrics
      – Nas Escobar never sold drugs
      – Ice Cube never was a gangbanger
      – Dr Dre never was a gangbanger
      – Snoop was never a crip
      – 2pac was a ballerina and never sold drugs after he become famous he was doing some stupid stuff like beating and shooting at people because he though he could get away with it. Without Suge Knight 2pac was just a skinny motherf*cker.
      – Mobb deep are the biggiest cowards in rap they are short as midgets and keep talking this g sh*t but never did g sh*t.

      – JA-RULE IS THE BIGGEST CLOWN IN HIPHOP WITH TOTALLY NO STREETCREDIBILITY! Be in jail for smoking weed, carrying a gun or tax evasion is for pussies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      – Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
      – When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.

      This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.

      BIG GUWOP KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!

      1. Never seen anyone so excited about a rapper playing a huge part of the destruction of the black community..

        Selling drugs and killing people don’t make you real,
        it makes you a part of the problem..

        there are upstanding black men and women who are stereo-typed everyday because of these so called “real n!qqas”..

      2. The fact is… You are the biggest dick rider since LJ went to Miami! Get his dick out cho mouth, your nose out of his ass and keep ur irrelevant comments outta herr cock sucka.

        I feel nothing but you’re really hurting both of us
        Cause I hate to see a woman cry when they giving mind
        Nevermind little mind games, any given time
        You can come over, bend over, let me bust it open
        Closet freak just came out, Frank Ocean
        I said I like to do it in slow motion
        She said it’s slippery when wet, caution
        Awesome
        Never met a mouth that I didn’t fuck often
        Never met a bitch that didn’t like kisses down low Rowland
        Are you rolling
        Well them kisses potion

      1. have you seen ja’s wife? got damnn!!! no way he would turn ashanti down even tough he never had a chance

      1. 50 cent > jarule
        50 is a real street dude even backed up by Supreme who called Ja soft. All Ja is doing is trying to discredit 50 since 50 bodied his career. Tit for tat. Who did 50 put behind bars where police protect him? He aint the president. He didnt put away the mob. foh

      1. FUCK JA FOOL….all he know for is being a bitch ass nigga who does duets with ashanti….haha n he claiming he’s gangsta….hahahahaha thats y he a wanksta….while 50 is the real gangsta n also THE KING OF NY!!

      2. 50 is more like the bitch of New York. Ja Rule will buy the United States from Obama soon and become the first king of the United States and his first decree will be off with Fifty’s head.

      3. fuck up nigga.. 50 dont need a body guard, he strap on the teflon and walks out the door knowing he can take anything the city throws at him… ja on the other hand shook cuz he never knows when 50 might come round the corner

    18. How much respect does ja have in the hood ? NONE! Ja is a SOFT ass nigga. He came in the game with wack shit and he left the game as a bitch. He waited years to come back because he was still healing from the ass whooping 50 gave him.

      What 50 been doing ? And what’s ja been doing …… Enough said
      Ja was equivalent to lil Wayne when he first drop. … But some of you nigglets were still sucking on your mommie titties to remember that

      1. You’re wrong.

        Ja Rule is respected in every slum, ghetto, hood, project, blighted area, public squalor, run-down neighborhood, shanty town, skid row, tenement housing in the world. You can’t buy that kinda respect nigga, you earn that shit.

      2. The thing is Ja still sounds the same as he ever did and has no diversity of styles. 50 rips it in a variety of styles to any beat and adds different twists to his rhymes. Ja is trash and has never stepped up his game to be able to hang with anybody let alone 50. Hence the reason he hasnt had a hit since he went pop with Ashanti. Ja will NEVER be on the charts again

      3. The charts mean nothing my nigga. Ja Rule makes his money selling his music to his fans directly that’s why he’s been ahead of the game and a billionaire.

      1. Ok let’s face it, Ja Rule back in the day had a few good songs, but come on dude just admit that his new music ain’t saying shit. I still believe 50 is a better rapper, performer and business man than Ja!

      2. Yony Tayo you’re wrong. Fuck what you believe. Ja Rule is your God now and he always has been. 50 can’t perform live, Ja Rule’s concerts are some of the best in the biz, sells out every night. 50 doesn’t know how to rhyme. Ja Rule practically innovated rap which was cheezy rhyming but he made it a way to show thug love. And all of 50’s business endeavors have flopped. Ja Rule owns the New York Knicks and Ja Rule owns a whole airport full of private jets somewhere in NYC that take him anywhere he wants in the world or when he needs to go to an area of the world that needs thug love or some real ass nigga hood shit to go on.

      3. @ tony yayo, i think u havent heard the she tried remix with Ja Rule, NORE, Birdman & Lil Wayne. Ja Rule KILLED IT!

      1. Rule ain’t beat Shit! He jumped 50 along with other Murder Inc artist, plus Ja was the one shook when he got robbed and they had to ask Preme to get the Chain back for him.

    21. ja rule is garbage exccept maybe clap back and crown. other than that this nigga is pure ass. 50 since 03 still alive and well. ja, fucc u at niggaaa? bitch

      1. Ja Rule really has no comeback, he went to jail for being a retard, 50 ruined his career, 50 has way more money, 50 is a free man and hasn’t been arrested since he got famous, so Ja can only respond with “Ima slap you yo” Ha 50 wins again

    22. Ja Rule is going to evolve soon into something greater than most human beings to become a new creature that is far more advanced than any of us.

      1. shits is actually pretty acurate. closer to facts than anything these ja rule trolls make up about non existent album sales

    23. “he went to jail for being a retard, 50 ruined his career”

      Actually Eminem ruined his career. 50 just reaped the benefits.

    24. stop saying those figures ja rule sold aint real, those real as shit i took this mornin’ son..

      JA RULE SOLD 900 mil albums. Fuck fame gonn sell 600 mil!!!

      50 cent only sold 1 mil with his whole discography, sad!!

      1. i know, these shady/aftermath groupies cant handle the facts. nobody can bring the god down spreading those lies. ITS MURDAAAAAAAAA!!!

    25. Look at my pic…I still got some Kool-Aid on my lips from the last time I was at the prison dance. I was the prettiest one there.
