The announcement comes after Verzuz held an epic battle between The LOX and Dipset, and it ended up being one of the most exciting battles that the platform has held since its inception back in March 2020. At its conclusion, many picked The LOX as the winners of the night as Jadakiss emerged as the battle’s star thanks to a number of memorable moments. LeBron James even called Jadakiss the most underrated hip-hop artist of “all time” once the night came to an end.
As for Fat Joe and Ja Rule, the announcement comes after the former played tracks from his past and present during a NPR Tiny Desk concert. As for Ja Rule, he’s been fairly quiet on the music side of things but he recently auctioned off an NFT of the viral cheese sandwich and a painting from his infamous Fyre Festival.
Tickets for hopeful attendees go on sale September 7. You can take a look at the flyer for Ja Rule and Fat Joe’s Verzuz above.
You knew 50 Cent wasn’t going to let this one go. Rap’s most incessant instigator shared a headline about his forever rival Ja Rule having issues with the IRS, and couldn’t resist putting Ja on blast. 50 Cent Laughs At Ja Rule’s Problems Grammy-nominated rapper/actor Ja Rule is in some financial trouble, as he and […]

As NFT-mania maintains its vice grip on the public consciousness, early adopter Ja Rule continues to capitalize on the craze by once again returning to the scene of one of his biggest business failures: Fyre Festival. After selling a massive painting of the Fyre Festival logo as an NFT for over $120,000, the latest Fyre-related NFT to appear on his Flipkick platform is a viral tweet about the “gourmet” dinner provided to attendees, which turned out to be a sad cheese sandwhich.
The dinner that @fyrefestival promised us was catered by Steven Starr is literally bread, cheese, and salad with dressing. #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/I8d0UlSNbd

The 2017 tweet was one of the wider world’s first indications of trouble in paradise, as influencer attendee Trevor DeHaas alerted his Twitter followers to the logistical shortcomings that would soon become a full-blown disaster and the subject of competing documentaries on Netflix and Hulu. DeHaas seems to have developed a sense of humor about the whole thing because he has partnered with Flipkick to sell the rights to the now infamous tweet. They’ve valued those rights at $80,000, which will go toward DeHaas’ medical expenses — he needs a kidney transplant and is currently on dialysis.
There’s precedent for selling tweets as NFTs, with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s first tweet going for $2.9 million, but it’s unclear just what happens once the non-fungible token trades digital hands. Plenty of investors are betting big that other rich folks will want to “own” a digital code that says they have the rights to a piece of artwork most people can just right-click/save as on their desktops. But at least the money in that case went to a good cause; Dorsey donated the money to GiveDirectly, which works with US families affected by COVID.
Meanwhile, Ja’s other big investment this year, into inflated GameStop stock, isn’t quite showing the payouts that enthusiastic investors promised when they made a run on the stock in January. Maybe this isn’t the guy to take your financial advice from, just a thought.
