Ja Rule tells Ja Morant to focus on basketball

Ja Rule knows what Ja Morant is going through, as he also went from the most loved to the most hated. In both situations, fans turned because they felt Ja was being someone he wasn’t. With Ja Morant, he put his career at serious risk. His decision to flash a weapon on social media could have led to his NBA contract being terminated. Thankfully, the NBA and the Memphis Grizzlies have worked tirelessly to fix the Ja Morant situation. Recently, TMZ Sports caught up with Ja Rule to discuss the younger Ja.

Ja Rule made so many hit singles in such a short period of time. Given the volume of hits, it looked as if his run would never end. Ultimately, Ja Rule was topping Billboard so often that it seemed like he was supposed to do it. In a two year span, Rule went from making hits with Lil’ Mo to doing huge records with Jennifer Lopez and Mary J. Blige. Along with this, he and Ashanti formed a very powerful duo. In only three years, they locked the game.

Ja Rule has a unique vantage point when it comes to Ja Morant’s situation. Similarly, Morant came into the game and took it over. Of course, the NBA is not like the rap game. While Ja Morant has become popular, his popularity can’t win him a championship. However, his popularity has made him a lot of money. But this gun incident almost cost Morant everything. Recently, TMZ Sports spoke to Ja Rule, asking him his take on it. Rule said hip hop is having a negative influence on Ja and he should focus on the NBA.
