Ja Rule has publicly expressed support for Diddy after the Bad Boy boss was accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple people.
During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Tuesday (March 5), the former Murder Inc. rapper expressed sympathy for the alleged victims, but also wished Puffy “luck” and called the situation “unfortunate.”

“It’s another Black man in this industry going through some unfortunate circumstances,” he said. “I wish him luck with everything he’s going through — and if there’s victims in this. I can’t speak on things that I don’t know about, Piers … but I wish everybody love.”
Speaking vaguely about the allegations, Ja added: “It’s a very unfortunate thing for the victims of these situations, and for the people who are also being accused of these situations. I believe in justice and I believe in the punishment fitting the crime.

“And if people get convicted of the things these people are saying then they should be put in jail. But I also believe, on the flipside, if people are lying about these things they should also be taken to court, tried and be put in prison as well.”

Ja Rule also spoke about his long-running feud with 50 Cent in his interview with Morgan.
When asked who would win in a fight between him and the G-Unit mogul, Ja doubled down on his claim that he beat up Fif years ago.

“That’s happened already too, Piers. You gotta do your research,” he said, referencing his alleged 2000 beatdown of the “In Da Club” rapper.
After Morgan asked who won that scuffle, Ja answered: “I did, Piers.”
50 has not yet responded to the comments, but he is likely to have something to say about Ja Rule’s defense of Diddy given he has frequently taunted the REVOLT founder over his sexual assault lawsuits.

After Mayweather refused to condemn Diddy on The Pivot Podcast and suggested the alleged incidents were partly the victims’ fault, 50 commented: “They didn’t even ask him about this, Champ is you stupid or is you dumb? Get me the fuck out ya head, you sound like a hater.”
He also further teased a Surviving R. Kelly-inspired documentary about the allegations, writing: “DIDDY DO IT? COMING soon.”
Diddy, for his part, has vehemently denied all of the claims.
