RAP? Yes, that's correct! How did you guess?
Ja Rule pleads guilty in gun case
Ja Rule agreed Monday to go to prison for two years in a gun case, becoming the second platinum-selling rapper set to do time after arrests in the aftermath of a star-studded hip-hop concert in July 2007.
The rapper-actor pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. Lil Wayne, 28, was arrested separately the same night and later pleaded guilty to the same charge, serving eight months in jail.
Speaking in a low voice, Ja Rule said nothing beyond “guilty” and “yes” to a New York judge's questions as he admitted to a charge that involves attempting to have a loaded gun outside one's home or workplace. Police said they found a loaded gun in his $250,000-plus Maybach car after it was stopped for speeding.
His plea deal promises the 34-year-old rapper a two-year prison term compared to the 15-year stint he could have faced. He remains free until his sentencing on Feb. 9.
