Ja Rule Beefs with NBA’s Timberwolves Over Halftime Performance
Last night, Ja Rule had a questionable NBA half-time performance during the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. the Milwaukee Bucks game.
“They said this was 90’s night, so they brought out a 2000s artist,” Ja Rule said. “But my [debut] album [Venni Vetti Vecci] came out in ’99, so I guess that counts.”
The rapper then attempted to hype up the crowd, and said, “Are we ready?” before responding to the crowd’s enthusiasm with, “I guess we’re not.”
Before Ja Rule’s performance commenced there were technical difficulties.
The Timberwolves official Twitter had something to say about the fiasco. It was tweeted that the basketball team was “bamboozled” too.
We too were hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hood winked, lead astray!!! pic.twitter.com/l9rhElC52d

Ja Rule decided to clap back on Twitter and respond to the basketball team.
The rapper told the Timberwolves that it was clear that the sound wasn’t working correctly, and that he still did a good job during his performance.
