I feel like rappers are playing a game of musical chairs in prison. Now that Weezy's out and T.I.P. is back in, Ja Rule is going in as well. The deets of his breaking plea deal and twitter fight with 50 Cent that just went down when you read on....
After getting arrested on a gun bust back in July of 2007, Ja went to court this morning in Manhattan and entered into a plea deal. He traded 2 years in the slammer for pleading guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, a class D felony in the second degree. Sigh.
He's expected to officially be sentenced February 2012. And may not have to serve the entire full 2 years. And after 50 Cent just tweeted about anybody who...we'll just say 'takes anal advantage of' Ja...in jail, Ja Twitter slapped him right back:
Did Ja say "slap you in the mouth AGAIN"? Goodness.
A little back story on his arrest:
The case originated just over three years ago, when Ja Rule joined Lil Wayne at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre to perform with the Cash Money superstar, who was headlining his first New York City bill.
After the concert, both rappers, in separate instances, were pulled over in their vehicles by the New York Police Department. Both were subsequently charged with illegal possession of a firearm; Lil Wayne was also brought up on drug charges.
In Ja Rule's case, the rapper was one of three men in his car to be charged; all three were arraigned on the same charges. Police said they found a loaded semiautomatic weapon in the rear door of his car. If the Queens native had gone to trial and been found guilty, he could have faced up to seven years behind bars. Now, having reached a plea agreement, he'll likely serve 16 months in prison, followed by a year and a half of post-prison supervision.
His tweets today:
On the brighter side--this is the most publicity this dude has gotten in years. Rikers here he comes....
