Ja Rule Teams With JAY-Z’s REFORM Alliance To Show Mother’s Day Love To Ex-Con Moms

New
York,
NY
– 

Ja
Rule
has
partnered
with

JAY-Z‘s
REFORM
Alliance
to
host
a
Mother’s
Day
lunch
for
a
group
of
moms
who
are
also
ex-convicts.

The
former
Murder
Inc.
rapper
also
teamed
up
with
Sei
Less
Restaurants
co-founder
Ivi
Shano
and
The
Ladies
of
Hope
Ministries
to
put
on
the
luncheon,
which
was
held
in
New
York
City
on
Tuesday
(May
7).

Ja
hosted
40
previously
incarcerated
mothers
and
their
children,
listening
to
their
stories
about
how
they’ve
been
affected
by
the
criminal
justice
system
while
sharing
some
of
his
own
jail
experiences.

Footage
from
the
event
showed
the
Queens,
New
York
native
hugging
various
women
and
posing
for
photos.

Ja
Rule
also
recently
spoke
about
a
mother-to-be
in
the
form
of
his
longtime
friend
and
collaborator

Ashanti,
who
is
expecting
a
baby
with

Nelly.

When
asked
on
the

Tamron
Hall
Show
whether
he
was
surprised
by
the
power
couple
rekindling
their
romance
following
their
split
over
a
decade
ago,
he
said:
“Not
really.
So
her
and
my
wife,
they
do
their
ha-ha
ki-ki-ing,
right?
And
so,
you
can
tell
sometimes
when
women
want
that
old
thing
back.”

“I
don’t
wanna
blow
sis
up!”
he
added
after
the
crowd
exploded.
“But
the
chemistry
was
there.
And
I
think
for
both
of
them,
it
came
back
quick.
I
think
they
missed
each
other.
The
way
they
clicked
just
came
back
so
fast.”

Ja
has
also
shown
support
to
Diddy
as
he
faces
a
number
of
legal
battles
after
being
accused
of
sexual
assault
and
sex
trafficking
by
multiple
people.

Ja
Rule
Explains
Why
Current
Rap
War
Pales
In
Comparison
To
His
Beef
With
50
Cent

April
23,
2024

During
an
appearance
on Piers
Morgan
Uncensored
in
March,
the
48-year-old
expressed
sympathy
for
the
alleged
victims,
but
also
wished
the
Bad
Boy
boss
“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.”
