Ja Rule recently addressed the controversy surrounding his backstage altercation at a concert, clearing up rumors and setting the record straight regarding Max B and his supposed involvement. The incident occurred while Ja Rule was preparing to perform at a concert featuring Brandy and Monica, where he claims he was sucker-punched from behind.
In a live stream on his platform Icon, Ja Rule expressed frustration over the misinformation circulating about the incident, particularly the insinuations directed at fellow rapper Max B. “Leave Max B out of this. That man just came home,” Ja Rule stated, emphasizing that neither Max B nor his associates were involved in the altercation. Ja Rule’s comments came after Max B himself had already denied any connection to the incident, asserting his innocence and distancing himself from the situation.
The rapper recounted the events leading up to the scuffle, revealing that while he was walking to the stage after receiving his microphone, he was attacked by three unidentified individuals. “They tried to sneak me,” he said, adding that a physical altercation ensued, involving his crew as well. Security quickly intervened to break up the melee, but not before Ja Rule and his friend Arty found themselves in the midst of a chaotic scuffle.
“I’m 49 years old, and these guys are trying to get my last good fight out of me,” he joked, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. Ja Rule noted that he had been enjoying the concert for about an hour when the attack took place, and he expressed disbelief that such an incident could occur among artists of their stature.
In his remarks, Ja Rule also touched on the broader issue of security at hip-hop concerts compared to other music genres. He questioned the disparity in how incidents are handled, suggesting that had the same scenario played out at a concert for a rock or country artist, there would have been a more serious response from law enforcement. “If I was Bruce Springsteen and got attacked, do you think the assailants could make it out without being arrested?” he asked, alluding to the systemic differences in treatment.
Despite the chaos of the evening, Ja Rule made it clear he was not looking to dwell on the incident. “It is what it is,” he concluded, acknowledging that confrontations can happen in the entertainment industry.
The aftermath of the incident has seen speculation about the involvement of 50 Cent and his associates, particularly after 50 Cent mocked Ja Rule online. In response to this, Ja Rule addressed 50 Cent directly during his stream, telling him to “shut your ass up,” suggesting that tensions remain high between the two rappers.
As the story unfolds, fans and observers are left to wonder about the implications of the altercation and the ongoing rivalry between Ja Rule and 50 Cent. For now, Ja Rule seems intent on moving forward, focusing on his music and clearing the air regarding the events of that night.
