Ja Rule recently learned that having a criminal record can have serious consequences, especially when trying to travel to certain countries. As he was gearing up for his latest world tour, the rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, was informed that he would not be allowed to enter the United Kingdom. This news came just days before he was scheduled to perform in Wales, and Ja Rule took to his X account (formerly known as Twitter) to share his disappointment with his fans.
"My heart is broken. The UK won't let me in," Ja Rule wrote. "I've invested so much of my own money, over half a million dollars, to make this tour happen and now I can't even come." He expressed his frustration, both for himself and for his fans who were eagerly awaiting his shows, which were almost sold out.
In a subsequent post, Ja Rule explained why he was denied entry into the UK. He revealed that this country is one of the few in Europe that has strict rules about allowing individuals with criminal records to enter. In fact, anyone who has been convicted of a crime that carries a sentence of 23 months or more under British law, or has served more than 12 months in prison, is likely to be denied entry. Unfortunately, Ja Rule's past convictions for gun possession and tax evasion made him ineligible to enter the UK.
The rapper, who was celebrating his birthday on February 29, had announced "The Sunrise Tour" on his Instagram account in December, with the first show scheduled for March 1. However, it seems that these plans have now been derailed due to the UK's restrictions on individuals with criminal records.
Ja Rule's longtime rival, 50 Cent, couldn't resist taking a jab at him in the wake of this news. In a now-deleted post, the controversial rapper mocked Ja Rule's misfortune, claiming that he had nothing to do with his denied entry. He even went so far as to joke that he has "juice all over the place, sucker!" in reference to his perceived superiority over Ja Rule.
But Ja Rule wasn't about to let 50 Cent have the last word. He responded with a sharp comeback, calling him out and dismissing his claims. Despite this ongoing feud, Ja Rule has been focused on his own successes, such as signing a new record deal that could potentially be worth $100 million. While he hasn't revealed any details about this deal, he did promise his followers that he would use some of the money to build a school in Ghana.
