Ja Rule agreed to pay over $1.1 million in tax debts and IRS penalties after the rapper pleaded guilty to tax evasion Tuesday. Ja—whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins—pleaded guilty in Newark federal court to three counts of failing to file a tax return, from 2004 through 2008, despite earning income from touring and royalties from his albums.
U.S. federal judge Patty Shwartz set Ja Rule’s bail at $500,000 and permitted the Grammy nominated rapper’s release pending sentencing scheduled for June 13. Each count of tax evasion carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison. Early June will be a busy time period for Atkins as he was already scheduled to begin a two-year sentence for gun possession in relation to a 2007 arrest on June 8. Between the previous weapon charges and the tax penalties, Ja Rule faces a possible five years in prison.
“Each of us must pay our fair share to keep this country going,” U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said in a statement. Ja is reportedly working on a sequel to his triple-platinum album Pain Is Love in the remaining months before his prison term begins.

Ja Rule is as hip hop as cannibal corpse, stop commenting on this retard

So has justin beiber, doesn’t make him hip hop brah
That album will not help him pay anything off. The people that are buying albums are not gonna buy his. His last few releases were duds. His time is up. You only get 5 minutes in this game. If your lucky you get a lot more than that. Be thankful and humble when your on the playing field. And pay your damn taxes cuz the people that sit on their butts need that government handout as much as the people that have no choice but to take it.
