Ja Rule Gets Jail Advice

Ja Rule sat down with MTV Host Sway yesterday (April 27th) to discuss his career and his pending 2 1/2 year prison sentence for attempted possession of a weapon, stemming from an arrest after a concert in Manhattan in 2007.

According to Ja, who is due to begin his prison bid in June, he has been in touch with Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, a Murder Inc. affiliate and street legend from Queens, New York. Ja and Murder Inc.’s association with Supreme led to a federal trial that accused Irv and Chris Gotti of helping the former drug baron launder his illicit proceeds through the label. McGriff, who is serving a life sentence at the ADX Florence super-max prison in Colorado for ordering two murders, gave Ja Rule some advice before he begins his stint on Rikers Island. “He told me about my bid going in, how to ‘bid.’ He said ‘Don’t go in there flashy. That breeds jealousy and envy off the grip,'” Supreme told an amused Ja Rule.
