Ja Rule Faces Prison Time For Gun Charge

December 13, 2010

Rapper Ja Rule was promised a two-year prison sentence Monday after pleading guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

"Because of your guilty plea here today, you'll have a record of having committed a violent felony. This is a very serious matter," state Supreme Court Justice Richard Carruthers said in Manhattan.

"This isn't a good day," Ja Rule said as he left the court. After the rapper's chauffeured, $250,000 Maybach was stopped for speeding after a 2007 concert in Manhattan, police found a loaded .40-caliber semi-automatic gun in a door of the car.

The chauffeured car had a suspended registration and no insurance, said police, who also smelled marijuana at the time of the stop. No drug charges were filed, and a judge threw out the rapper's statement to police that he had "a little bit of weed" in his pocket.

Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, faced up to four years if convicted. The 34-year-old is free until sentencing, though that date has not been set.

He is due in court Feb. 9 for an update.

If they cant get him on this, they should be able to prosecute on his musical output.

shrug Well, at least it'll give him something to do. While I've rather enjoyed it, I've seen neither hide nor hair of him for a LONG time.

Fiddy should invest less time on Twitter and more on learning proper English. Mofo can barely construct a sentence.

I might be THE only orger that is a little surprise about Ja Rule's latest downfall.

I mean, he never "broke the oath" not one time throughout his mainstream hip-hop career. For anything, he did more than enough to keep the Illuminati off his back, even going as far as being made an example by 50 Cent & Eminem and still not snitching.

While I agree with your reaction (that mess is funny), I'm glad somebody told Half Buck where to go. For somebody who has been shot an inordinate amount and lived to tell about it that dude talks way too much nonsense. Shut up and enjoy your Vitamin Water money already.
