Ja Rule Addresses Recent Assault, Dismisses Max B’s Involvement
In a recent video statement, rapper Ja Rule spoke out about an incident where he was reportedly attacked by three individuals while attending an event. The artist took the opportunity to clear the air regarding the involvement of fellow rapper Max B, who he emphasized had nothing to do with the altercation.
Ja Rule began by urging fans and media alike to refrain from linking Max B to the incident, especially given that Max B has just been released from prison. “Leave Max B the out of this, man. That man just came home,” he stated, expressing frustration over the ongoing speculation. He implored his followers to stop attributing blame to Max B, asserting, “You know that the people be watching these little platforms. You know they be paying attention.”
Describing the event, Ja Rule recounted how he was unexpectedly sucker-punched from behind by multiple attackers. “Three tried to sneak three punk ass [expletives],” he said, acknowledging how such incidents can happen to anyone, regardless of their status. He noted that the nature of the attack offered no real points of honor to the aggressors, insisting that such behavior was cowardly.
The altercation quickly escalated into a melee, with Ja Rule mentioning that fellow artists Fat Joe and Rich were present and attempted to intervene. “It’s just a melee. These [expletives] is grabbing me back, holding me back,” he recounted, reflecting on the chaos that ensued as security personnel arrived to control the situation.
After the commotion subsided, Ja Rule expressed his anger about the incident, stating that he was yelling at his attackers as they made their exit. He also took this moment to address a larger issue within the music industry—how security measures at hip-hop events differ from those at concerts of other genres. He questioned whether attackers at a concert featuring a white artist, such as Bruce Springsteen, would have been able to escape without facing immediate consequences.
“This is how they do black business as usual,” Ja Rule remarked, highlighting a perceived disparity in how security is managed in different musical contexts. His comments have sparked discussions about the need for improved safety protocols at hip-hop events, ensuring the protection of artists and attendees alike.
As the conversation continues, fans are left to ponder the implications of his experience and the broader issues surrounding safety in the music industry. Ja Rule concluded his remarks with a resolute attitude, indicating that he remains focused and determined despite the recent events.
