Ja Rule live in Ghana for Ghana Music Awards 2008
Confirmed information reaching www.GhanaMusic.com is that hip hop Queens rapper, Jeffrey Atkins better known international as Ja Rule will making his debut appearance in Ghana as part of the ninth MTN Ghana Music Awards festival.
“We do not celebrate only Ghanaian music but also appreciate music internationally. Ghana Music Awards attracts a wide array of international audience each year”, the Media manager for charter house said.
“Our invitation of a foreign musician is in line with the aims of making the celebrations international known more and making it a festival that will attract the international music world. Foreign acts such as D’Banj and Jeff Bogologolo-Alhaji fame are a few to mention”, she continued.
Asked whether she is aware that Ja Rule is currently struggling to revamp with image with the media. Juno of Charter House Ghana said “I will not agree to that Ja Rule’s fame is down because according to a flash research conducted here in Ghana, Ghanaians are actually looking forward to his performance.
Ja Rule as an entertainer has a lot to add to the MTN GMA festival that is why he was invited and yes his performance will definitely rock the Celebration jam. His latest releases like Body among others are making waves on the airwaves”.
“Ghanaians should expect star performance like no other. His performance is sure to keep the audience spell bound. Don’t forget that there will be other surprise performances by awards winners of MTN GMA and some international artistes on the same platform”, she concluded.
Ja Rule is expected to perform at the Awards Night (25th April) and the Beach Celebration Jam (26th April).
Ja Rule bounced onto the hip hop game with a hard core album dubbed Venni Vetti Vecci (1999) and followed it up with Rule 3:36 (2000) with songs like “Between Me” and “You”,” “Put It on Me, and “I Cry”. It was the beginning of Ja Rule going commercial with radio friendly songs. His collaboration with Bobby Brown of the The Last Temptation (2002) album was another success.
His latest single “Uh-Ohhh!”; featuring Lil Wayne, who is perhaps the hottest rapper of the moment failed to make it to the top on the billboard charts. A couple other singles (”Body,” “Sunset”) have also failed to garner significant airplay.
Hmmm, watch out for another article right here on www.GhanaMusic.com where I will be sampling comments of Ghanaian hip hop artistes, and DJs whether they think Ja Rule was a right choice for the MTN Ghana Music Awards.

March 28th, 2008 at 4:40 am
Ja who? I hear people getting delirious over this out-of-date artist coming to Ghana, and I’m like, ‘Are u stupid or something?’. Homie, haven’t we had enough of you guys bringing artistes whose careers are washed up, Shaggy, Wayne Wonder, n Boys 2 Men(Men to Oldies). Whiles the likes of 50, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland,Wyclef and a host of hit-making stars are going to Nigeria, we are making retirement parties for some old horses. Silly. Oh yes, we can’t afford them like the Nigerians. So why the fuck cant we stick to our Prayes and Wutahs if we cant pay for the acts making hit records now.Whats more, the coming of this Ja who? would up the gate fee to the detriment of the ordinary Ghanaian who would want to enjoy his music awards.
Fuck Ja Who! Fuck Charterhse! and Fuck GMA, n fuck u too, Nii, u did the story

April 2nd, 2008 at 6:50 am
To Lil’Twist: massa, you will never get a producer, you will never taste fame and stardom. You will ever remain in the doldrums and in the underground. Infact, wait, pay and go watch Ja and then immediately after his act, make your way to backstage and ask Ja to help produce you. We might read your profile on Vibe, Souce or XXL magazines. Good luck Lil’ Shit, sorry Twist.
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:57 am

April 2nd, 2008 at 8:40 pm
who gives a fck, its not like he’s had a hit, since 1969. Who cares
Obviously the checks have stopped coming - so he has turned to do shows in africa. Why didnt he come to ghana when he was famous back in the day. We dont want sloppy seconds
ghanaians dont pay sh t to go see this “has been”
Yo fi ddy, come get ya boy,he looks pitiful”
I hope his “ecstasy ass dont set foot on our land”
what the fk is he going to sing - boy puhleese, u better go fill an application and walmart or somthing.
