Ja Rule wants someone at ESPN to lose their job after he got mocked by the sports titan’s Twitter account. The Queens-bred rapper call on the person behind ESPN’s social media to be fired on Sunday (July 26).
“I usually mind my business and ignore the white noise but I think it’s very unprofessional of @espn to try and diminish or discredit who and what I am to this culture,” he wrote. “whoever post for your social accounts @espn needs to be FIRED…”
Ja was upset over ESPN reposting a clip from awkward halftime performance at a Milwaukee Bucks game in 2019. In the footage, he gets little to no response when asking the crowd, “Are we ready?”
“Never forget this Ja Rule moment,” ESPN tweeted with a laughing emoji on Sunday.
The post led to a series of tweets from Ja, who criticized the company for poking fun at him.
“Be more professional @espn and tell your little social team to have some RESPECT we speaking on an ICONN… #ICONN,” he wrote.
Ja added, “So let me get this straight @espn your letting your social team that represents your brand and social accounts with over 16 million follows try and clown me over what was clearly a technical issue with the equipment and for what likes??? @espn clout chasing now lmao… #ICONN.”
The former Def Jam artist continued to harp on the point by sharing an old TMZ clip of Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo defending the halftime set. The NBA MVP told a paparazzo Ja’s microphone was dead, which caused the muted fan reaction.
“Like I said it was a technical issue but y’all always trying it,” Ja wrote. “@espn STOP PLAYING WIT ME… they even try to get @Giannis_An34 to say something bad about me lmao #Foh #thedevilisalie #ICONN.”
Ja Rule Goes On A 50 Cent, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, G-Unit Tweet-&-Delete Twitter Tangent
He continued, “Very disappointed to see how UNPROFESSIONAL and DISRESPECTFUL @espn is allowing their social team to be if your not holding them accountable that means you’re complicit with oblivious slander and defamation to your 35 million plus audience… Duly noted… #ICONN.”
After all of those tweets, Ja still had ESPN on his mind on Monday (July 27). In addition to retweeting other users calling out the company, he noted he owns a team in the Women’s Football League Association.
“Hey @espn just thought I’d let y’all know I own a women’s professional football team called @newyorkstarsin a brand new league the WFLA owned by WOMEN OF COLOR… Wow what a story right??? I figured this was more in your wheelhouse of reporting!!! #ICONN.”
ESPN never responded, so Ja finally moved on from the topic.
Damn he’s still mad that he fell off after Em and 50 destroyed his uninspired one-hit wonder having ass lmfaoooo
You must be young if you don’t know he had more than one hit lol.
True that his career never recovered from 50, but in 2002 before 50 really went national Ja Rule was the king of radio. Shame that his legacy has been reduced to the 50 Cent beef and the Fyre Fest, because there was definitely a time when his music was everywhere, but today’s kids will never know.
LMAO! this guy WOULD own a womans football team in some league we never heard of
How is this guy gonna call for anyone to be fired after being such a big part of Fyre Fest. Go fire your friends that exploited thousands of people for profit.
Not guilty or liable in a court of law means your accusation is moot. That white boy was the mastermind. If Ja is involved in fyre fest then Kylie Jenner Rhianna and all then other fools are responsible too
Wow man, can he take a joke? We can’t say shit no more man…man we gotta have more humor…people are only picking on you Ja, not trying to degrade your “ICONN” status jeesh
Before there was Meek Mill there was…JA
Seriously,Who is this lil midget nigga?
Wasn’t he in the Leprechauns In The Good Movies. I think he’s one the main one or at least one of the extras.
Hood
Why y’all gotta clown my cuz my performance had killed more audience morale than the Coronavirus. They didn’t even let me get into my songs yet. Then ESPN want to bully me because I’m only 3 foot nothing. Say what you want but whenever there’s a cookie box left open, let it be known… I’m a Milk And Cookies Murdera!!!!
#ISMALL
I see what he’s trying to do here…in light of a couple privileged entertainers getting fired for their racist comments, he thinks he can start a dialogue…well this is hardly in the same category is it, Jah?
Too bad he cant take a joke and laugh at himself 50 was getting clowned harder this week over his baseball pitch from 5 years ago. He posted memes making fun of himself
Obviously his ego is damaged.
A real one would find it funny with or without a technical difficulty.
Especially if there was one.
At least he’s taller and bigger than Tory The Lane Midget
Did he just call himself a woman of color?
Facts haha
This guy has probably one of the biggest downfall in hip-hop history…. and it’s funny to me that he considers himself an “icon” since the only times people are talkin bout him is when his beef with 50 or his fyre festival failure come up in a discussion. Plus his name is never mentionned into a top 20 favorite rappers list… fuck it I would say nore in a top 50 list. The only time his music must be played is probably for happy birthdays of high school white teenage girls or when white women are playing his tunes in their cars when they go down shopping with their homegirls

I just want to know if there was a specific reason that he kept misspelling icon…

I think Ja owns a piece of the company!
Dam y’all really that stupid ? Sad you know google still works bruh
Ja Rule had a 2-3 run in hop hop that would top most rappers in history. His problem was how sensitive he acted during the beef. He tried to act hard and you could visibly see that 50 was getting to him. When 50 dissed him about his singing he should have dropped another singing joint. He stopped making the music that made him.
50 cent made his career with singing joints where 50 cent sang autotune choruses.
I don’t even blame Ja Rule. The last bucks game I went to, Warren G did the halftime show and that was easily the worst performance I have ever seen. It’s hard to get a crowd like that fired up. Most of the fans are either too old or too young to listen to your music. The ones that do I ow the songs ain’t trying to be the only ones in their section singing and dancing. I do recall one guy in the crowd not giving a fucking a performing regulator with way more passion than Warren G had.
414 in tha building!
Icon ??? Huh ??? What ??? I don’t think anyone who listens to hip hop thinks this guy is an icon … Had a great run of R&B/Hip Hop songs, but an ICON ??? Fuckouttahere, bro

Lmao but thats exactly what Ja is to the culture – a joke…
Holla Holla!!!!!
Ja rule is an icon along with Ashanti. I’m a huge G-unit fan too, fuck all that beef shit. Ja has an ill voice singing or not singing and crushes 85 percent of rappers vocally.
He just jacked DMX style
