Ja Rule, who was recently released from prison, says he feels his focus is shifting from music to movies and television.
“I love music,” Ja Rule said in a recent interview with USA Today. “It’s my passion. This is my second wind right now and I’m happy to be home, but I think as I’m getting older, my passion is leaning toward doing more television and film. Music is my heart, but I see television and more movies in the next stage of my life.”
Rule is focusing on the upcoming release of I’m in Love with a Church Girl, a film set to debut in over 500 theaters across the country on October 18. The film stars Ja Rule and actress Adrienne Bailon, who earned notoriety for her work with Cheetah Girls and 3LW.
During his interview, Ja Rule also spoke about his role in the film.
“This role was very different for me,” Ja Rule said. ”I’ve done a lot of films that all have been pretty edgy. I played thug characters, but with this character, even though I play a thug somewhat, he’s really a guy going through a transition.”
Before his role in I’m in Love with a Church Girl, Ja Rule worked in various films, including 2001’s The Fast & The Furious and 2003’s Scary Movie 3.
Ja Rule Describes His Mentality While He Was In Prison
Ja Rule was recently released from prison and house arrest. He was incarcerated following an arrest for weapons possession in 2007. He was also convicted of failing to pay federal taxes in 2011. Rule served close to two years in prison before being released to house arrest.
During his recent interview, Ja Rule also spoke about his mentality while he was in prison.
“It’s really minimum — all of the fame, the movies and the music,” Ja Rule told USA Today. “When you’re behind that wall, all that becomes very minimum…I was more focused on getting my mind right, getting my body right, more thinking about my family. Those are the things you cherish.”
Recently, Irv Gotti announced that he is hoping to work with Ja Rule on a reality program soon. The program is set to focus on Rule and his family.

No shit Ja, last album sold 6700 in 2 years, I’d be giving up on music too LOL
Thats exactly what i was going to say, except i didnt know his sales numbers except that they were bad. No one takes his music seriously anymore and the ones who did in the past were 17 year old girls
ya rulle
Now Billboard is saying that figure was actually 67,000.

HHDX writers are a bunch of Ja haters. they dont post the positive news about Ja, just last week hed given out over 25mill to the homeless all over the world. on the other hand HHDX is trying to boycott the mans career that why u will always see the same made up article at related. (RELATED: Ja Rule Admits Losing To “50 Cent” ) while anyone with common knowledge knows HHDX is twisting the facts around “RELATED: 50 Cent Admits Losing To Ja Rule The Great” is what the headlines should be. rule heads know.
fuck out of here.
ja dont have 25 million and if he did he wouldnt be giving it away. niggas dont get out of prison for tax evasion then give away millions they dont have.
Ja did admit he lost though. Theres no twisting headlines. The nigga said these things and DX runs with it
Cosing. HHDX never writes anything about wayne’s charity efforts or birdman’s efforts. Hell Rick Ross was giving away money and being a motivational speaker.
ja is like the modern day robin hood, rob ‘n hood . ja didnt admit anything, what u refer to is an illuminati puppet looking like ja. know ur facts.
