Back in 2007, Ja Rule and Lil Wayne were arrested after a concert in New York City, New York, with Weezy facing a shorter sentence than Ja. Speaking from prison to Vlad TV, Ja said that his lengthier sentence of two years was because of the circumstances of the gun possessions.
“Each case was a little different. He had the same charge, basically, attempting to possess. But the gun wasn’t on his possession either,” says Ja. “I think they got him with the same charge, attempt of possession. But the difference between me and Weezy’s case is his was actually registered. His case was crazy too, because it wasn’t registered to him but it wasn’t on his person but it was a registered gun and he was on a bus with 30 other people. And it wasn’t found in his possession. It was found in a bag.
“My gun was with a serial number scratched off, which gave me a little more time. That’s the difference,” he continued.
Listen to the full interview below.

he trying to up his street cred by saying his had the serial scratched off
didnt they both get caught with un loaded guns? i think wayne did
yea any smart nigga would have his goons carry the gun
He did have one of his goons carry the gun but they were pulled over in his Maybach therefore he took ownership of the gun
Any smart nigga woulda had his bitch hide the gun, then if she got caught visit her every now and then.

HipHopDX continues their hard-hitting journalism with such compelling stories as “Ja Rule makes a comment about Weezy” and “Charli Baltimore hasn’t seen Notorious.” Stay tuned for next week’s top stories “Nas prefers Wendy’s over Big Mac’s” and “Where did I leave my keys?”
Nas probably eating that Wendy’s out the trash cause that bum fell off. Jay Hova is the God MC and the ultimate winner of that beef. Look at Nas’ album sales.
Word. Nas is fucking terrible, nigga is reaching his 10th year without a real hit. People just putting them over Jay because we all know how truly won in this battle and life.
IF NAS LOST IN LIFE, I WONDER HOW YOUR LIFE LOOKS
pair of idiots right there
Nas is a quality MC. He stopped being relevant because he CHOSE to stop being relevant. on top of Jay movin units, Jay’s a businessman too so he’s def gonna try to expand his money and his status. Nas ain’t like that, he keeps it gritty.
do you seriously think he’d ever want to try to stay relevant in today’s hip-hop? REMEMBER WHAT HE CALLED HIS BIG ALBUM/SINGLE IN 06
Bullsh!t. Wayne was smart enough to just cop that plea. You sitttin here saying you had a harsher charge than little Wayne meaning more guilty and yet you decided to take it to trial? If Wayne situation wasn’t as bad as yours and he still decided to cop out, then why did you try to take the case to trial? You sound stupid right now Ja Rule!
WHO DO WE BELIEVE, HIM, SITTING IN JAIL WHO KNOWS THE PAPERWORK AND COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR U TRYING TO CONNECT THE DOTS OFF OF HEADLINES FROM A WEBSITE?
Boom….. Are u gonna live your life being ignorant. The case was much worse bcuz Wayne’s gun was registered to someone. Jas was 100% illegal with numbers scratched off. Stop being ignorant for no reason!!!!

Yeah fuck up Reggie nobody likes u!!!
Ur a dirty shit covered gerbil Reggie
Shove your head back up ur ass Reggie!!! fucking wanker
YEah hip hop is full of bandwagoners ha ha ha hop on board bitches
Man i gotta lot of respect for Ja he took his sentence like a man, stayed in the studio till his last day… an is doing his time like a man… You know if this was 90% of the other rappers out, u would have been articles an bullshit stories everywhere cause most rappers act like bitches…. If it was 50cent we would here the dude bitch an moan bout it even while dude was locked u!!! I mean we get a bullshit story bout 50 being a bitch every week… i think im gonna die, jimmy wont drop my album boo fucking whoo!!! Ja a real man #RespectThat
Word!! Cannot wait for Pil 2 on 2.28.12
Real shit Dale….all i’m sayin is PIL 2 a problem
some bullshit that ja got so much more time then weezy hold ya head ja
Yeah man, shit makes no sense.
Sorry bout the typos… Be glad when Ja comes out an is able to rock these new joints in concert!!! he killing it right now… wish him all the success in the world cause regardless if u wanna admit it or not… Hip Hop was popping off when Rule was smashing out those hits PERIOD!!!
Murder Inc had the game covered no bitch rappers aloud… damn that lable had talent an brought out the best in others!!! miss that shit on the major an these poor young kids have to miss out on that… this is another reason why unlike rock an roll an pop… legends in hip hop will never be properly respected… No Ja Rule = No 50cent… Plus Ja was biggest selling artist on Def Jam… Where is dudes respect an props???? where is Irv Gotti’s props for everything he did, careers he helped build, Like Jay-Z, DMX, Ja, Ashanti, Lloyd list goes on… Grow up Hip Hop heads an learn the facts!!!
Great point dale! And most dudes hate on Ja because they’re ignorant!!!!
Another thing people make ignorant comments about is Ja making tracks with Ashanti… they were lable mates so of cause they going to do song together dickhead… they had great chemistry… like Ja an Jenny… why dont people say ignorant shit bout Drake an Nikki doing songs, 50 an oliva, Lil Wayne an Nikki, Nelly an Kelly???? (50 an oliva aint shit compared to Ja an Ashanti or Ja an JLo an yall know it, why 50 stole the idea) an those few song Ja had with the ladies he had his street shit too… kids hate on Ja havent even heard his music now that sad… every one was bumping living it up, always on time, smokin an ridin!!!
So next time u say ignorant shit like Ja made those silly tracks with woman… Just remember ur bitch liked them… he didnt sell 30mill overwise!!!
An this Gun charged is bullshit… T.I has a hell of a stash gets 1yr???
Who real???
damn dale write a book then nukka
FREE JA RULE! why does he get 20 months for attempting to possess a firearm, i thought USA citizens had a right to bear arms?!?
Despite of that, ja rules “parachutes” is the dopest freshest production i’ve heard in ages – looking forward to PIL2 and the release of the man himself, peace y’all
wasnt it 4 years???
HOw de Fuck ja got more buzz in jail Dan 50cent does as a free man..
the only buzz ja rule has in prison is up his ass. he can’t fuck wit 50
Tables have turned fifty fell off
