Former Def Jam rapper Ja Rule recently talked about his new reality television show “Follow the Rules” and explained his desire to escape the fame which surrounds him.

In Rule’s opinion, fame has turned into a nuisance at this point in his life.

He turned to me, unprompted, and said, “I’m getting weirder as I get older. I just want to be a recluse, I want to disappear. I mean, I am doing a reality show…” He trailed off and then started up again, quickly: “I used to love being famous, it was the dopest, funnest thing. Not anymore.” (GQ)

The New York native recently talked about the nationwide Black Lives Matter campaign.

“If Black Lives don’t matter to Black Lives, who the f*ck else is it going to matter to?” Ja asks sternly. “So I know it all starts with us. I want to see bigger movements. I don’t want to see Black on Black on violence no more. I want to see us root for each other, and I want to see us be happy to see the next man win. And it starts with messages like this that I’m sending. I don’t have no malice toward that Black man that I had drama with. I wish him all the success in the world.” (VIBE)

Rule also discussed the importance of having positive Black leaders.

“The more positive, successful Black men we have, the more chance we have to break the cycle. And I think we should all get on board,” says Ja about setting good examples for the youth. “I think we should all root for each other and not tear each other down.” (VIBE)
