Ja Rule found himself in the spotlight today following reports of a physical confrontation on November 21. Almost immediately, 50 Cent took to social media to mock the situation, fueling discussions across Twitter and other platforms and stirring interest within the hip-hop community.

The initial report came from Tasha K, who announced via social media that Ja Rule had allegedly been attacked outside Sei Less restaurant in New York. She tweeted, “BREAKING! I Just got word that Ja Rule was Jumped TONIGHT outside of New York Restaurant Sei Less! I’m being told it was pretty phucking bad! | Story Developing…” Her post prompted swift speculation online.

Ja Rule quickly disputed much of her account while confirming that an incident did occur. He responded, “Tasha, why you lying to these good ppl? Yes, some btch as n****s tried to jump me. No it wasn’t at Sei Less, and I’m chilling, smoking a joint, watching SVP with not a scratch on me.” He also posted a video showing he was unharmed, contradicting claims of serious injury.
