Ja Rule became a pioneer in the hip-hop industry years ago when he dropped his first album, Veni, Vetti, Vecci back in 1999. During a time when the new millennium was upon us, music had to change to adjust to the times. Ja Rule came prepared. The album debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 and sold 184,000 copies in its first week. This is all the reason why he plans on celebrating its 25th anniversary."Next year marks the 25th anniversary of Ja Rule and my first album Veni, Vetti, Vecci," he told Hot 97. "On June 1st, I'm going on a world tour for 25 years of Ja Rule and it's gonna be out of this world."While he did not specify details, Ja did spend some time focusing on the status of hip-hop 24 years after he first stepped on the scene. <h2 id="h-ja-rule-s-impact">Ja Rule's Impact</h2>Just at the top of the month, The Game appeared on Apple Music's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRmdjpqpyO4">Bars and Nuggets</a> podcast where he acknowledged the rapper's impact on the industry. “You know, Ja was Drake before Drake," he explained. "You know what I’m saying? He had the radio — he had the hits on the radio." https://twitter.com/SaycheeseDGTL/status/1677022508690595842?s=20Ja says that although he is flattered by the flowers given to him, he believes every artist is their own individual person with their own skin in the industry. "I obviously thank Game for the compliment," he began. "But I think everybody has their moment in time and in hip-hop. My time was my time. Drake's time is his time. Everybody has their thing."With this year being the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, Ja Rule knows that there were people before him who influenced his work and that hopefully his work did the same. He says that his influence on the industry was specific to his experience and is grateful he was able to contribute what he could to the next generation. "It could never be another Drake. Drake is Drake. There could never be another Ja Rule. Ja Rule is Ja Rule. We all, in music, are fans of each other's music and I just hope and pray that my catalog and my contribution to hip hop, if it influenced anybody to do anything dope, I'm more than happy about that," the rapper shared.<h2>Keeping A Legacy Going</h2>Ja Rule's love for hip-hop doesn't stop at his ability to influence a generation. He is now giving artists he has grown to respect when he was coming up, the stage to share their stories as well as help them really make a profit from it. One of Ja's newest business ventures, <a href="https://iconn.live/">ICONN Live App,</a> gives creators the ability to profit from their own content. "The original thought of the app was really to help content creators monetize their content," he detailed. "We have all these platforms —Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter —and they own all the content. They take advantage of the content creators in ways that I just didn't think was fair."Therefore, he stepped in to lend a helping hand. The app is a live-streaming entertainment marketplace. There, you can catch one-of-a-kind free live broadcasts and pay-per-view events, including his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vibesconcerts/?hl=en">VIBES concert series.</a>VIBES concerts are live, in-person events with some of hip-hop's greats. They are only streamed on the ICONN Live App. When discussing the series, Ja says he just wanted to give artists a space to tell their stories."I wanted to showcase the legends, man. Some of my heroes that I grew up on. The reason why I rap," he recalled. "But the real basis of VIBES is to be intimate. It's an intimate concert and it's iconic artists doing their classic albums. Telling the stories behind the music."<h2>The Future Of Ja</h2>Along with ICONN Live and the VIBES concert series, Ja is busy with many other business ventures. He recently launched his own exclusive luxury wine, Rose Vine Cellars in partnership with Wines that Rock and Ross Reedy.Additionally, he says that he has invested in a few businesses such as Limewire, Big Crunch and is even a partial owner of a Texas pickleball team. However, he is most excited about his philanthropic work. "I also do a lot of charitable work that doesn't get talked about. I just recently gave money to HBCUs. We did Morgan State, Howard and Spellman. We have a few more that we want to do as well," he shared. Ja Rule concluded by sharing how important it is to tend to the youth of our nation. "Let's keep, creating great athletes and, and great musicians. But also on the flip side of that, let's also give them the business acumen that they need. Even lower grades of schools like high schools and middle schools because our kids need that."

Former President <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-indictment-hush-money-stormy-daniels/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump </a>was indicted by a grand jury.According to reports, Trump reportedly brokered a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Stormy was reportedly going to go public about an affair she had with Mr. Trump in 2006. The former President's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, said he was at the center of the deal and gave Stormy the money- which he was later reimbursed by the Trump Organization. Donald Trump died those allegations and says that both Michael and Stormy are "liars."Trump has responded to the indictment and says it is a “political persecution." He also says, "the Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable — indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.”Trump's lawyer says in a statement, “what was once the most respected and revered district attorney’s office in the nation has been fully bastardized by an opportunistic politician seeking, like many others, to cash in on the Trump brand,” Kise said. “The complete lack of legal basis, coupled with the politically targeted nature of the prosecution, should strike fear into every citizen in this country irrespective of their views of President Trump.”The former President is expected to return to NYC and turn himself in.https://twitter.com/ManhattanDA/status/1641579988360019968?s=20

A couple is suing Gammeeok, a popular Koreatown restaurant in <a href="https://www.hot97.com/sponsored-content/top-rated-new-york-city-personal-injury-attorney-michael-s-lamonsoff-protecting-new-yorks-construction-crews-working-class" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York City</a>, after allegedly finding a dead rat floating in soup they ordered over the weekend.According to the lawsuit, obtained by <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/03/15/restaurant-sued-rat-soup-food-delivery-order-gemmeeok-koreatown-new-york-city/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TMZ</a>, Eunice Lucero Lee and her husband Jason Lee claimed they ordered food from Gammeeok on Saturday (March 11) afternoon and when they got the meal delivered to their home, they discovered the rat in their bowl of soap as they were eating. The couple said they were disgusted and violently sick causing them to vomit and seek medical attention. In the lawsuit, they also claimed that the restaurant had gotten a "C" rating from the NYC Health Department in January for their Manhattan location but didn't know about it when they placed their order.Eunice Lucero-Lee posted a series of photos and videos of what appears to be a dead black rat floating in the soup she said she and her husband had delivered Saturday from Gammeeok in Manhattan.“After seeking legal counsel, my husband and I now feel free to share something that happened to us over the weekend,” Lucero-Lee wrote in an Instagram accompanied by series of photos and videos of the incident yesterday (March 16). “We ordered in from a well-known restaurant called Gammeeok in K-Town and found the most disgusting thing in our food.”She continued: “We have been going to this restaurant for a decade and are otherwise proud supporters of Asian cuisine and culture. This incident is in no way to fuel race-based hate or prejudice, and I will have an issue with anyone who uses these posts to fit that narrative.” Lucero-Lee also added that they are sharing their claims to “spread awareness and hopefully make sure the right people are held accountable.”Gammeeok also took to their Instagram page to address the lawsuit by releasing surveillance video they believe proves there's no way the rat could've made it in the soup. "When we transferred the soup, we served it four times with a ladle while the staff watched it with their eyes. If there was a mouse that big, there's no way I wouldn't have missed it. There is also a video recording of the recording process. We checked the whole process of making the soup, but we couldn't find any problems."See related posts below:https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvpGlKuuxs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkhttps://www.instagram.com/reel/Cp0b5BINP1P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cp03wpjp5g-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

On Monday (Feb. 30), a baby seal was spotted casually attempting to cross a busy <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/candidate-for-congress-hector-oseguera-on-how-he-plans-to-help-new-jerseys-8th-district" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Jersey</a> highway. According to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brickpolicepio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brick Township Police Department</a>, the mammal was found on Route 35 near Curtis Point Drive in Mantoloking between the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay. The department called New Jersey’s Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC), which took in the seal to rest at its Brigantine facility. "The officers stopped traffic allowing the pup to safely cross the road. The seal then entered the backyard of a home on Ocean Ave, where she remained under the watchful eyes of the officers and a MMSC volunteer until our stranding technician arrived," MMSC said in a Facebook statement on Wednesday (March 1). "The 36 [pound] female grey seal was brought back to the MMSC for an examination and overnight observation. Fortunately, she had no signs of injury or illness and was not in need of rehabilitation. On Tuesday afternoon the healthy seal pup was released back into the wild."The organization said that there's been many cases over the past 45 years of seals, especially grey seals, taking a "wrong turn and wandering up beach access paths to backyards, parking lots, and roadways." The organization added, "Typically we see at least one case of a wayward pup stranding in an unusual location every seal season. These pups are born on islands so when they get lost their instinct is to keep wandering until they find a body of water. Please have our 24-hour stranding hotline ready because you might need it when you least expect it." https://www.facebook.com/njmarinemammal/posts/pfbid03PNRaJ7xTQEeKmaKCskuKBBhhytFdM5a9kTCuwvV6yTe8peW2NBM8VpbJAQZ2gwKl

On Wednesday (Feb. 15), the 19-year-old white gunman who killed 10 Black people and injured three at Tops supermarket in <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/the-entire-buffalo-response-team-resigns-in-support-of-cop-who-pushed-elderly-man" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buffalo, New Yor</a>k last year was sentenced to life in prison without parole after hearing emotional statements from families of the victims.“You don’t know a damn thing about Black people. We’re human. We like our kids to go to good schools. We love our kids. We never go to no neighborhoods to take people out,” Barbara Massey, the sister of victim Katherine Massey, told Payton Gendron of the racist massacre.As she continued to address Gendron in the courtroom, a man rushed toward him, leading to a short break. After other family members spoke, Gendron offered a brief apology, stating that he was "very sorry for all the pain" he caused "for stealing the lives of your loved ones." "I did a terrible thing that day. I shot people because they were Black," he said. “There can be no mercy for you, no understanding, no second chances,” Judge Susan Eagan said as she sentenced him, according to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/legal-proceedings-new-york-buffalo-crime-terrorism-a13cf95d1fbecfa64571de87d2ccfa8a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AP</a>. She called his actions at the supermarket “a reckoning” for a nation “founded and built, in part, on white supremacy.” Gendron is also due in a federal court tomorrow for an update in a separate case that could lead to a death sentence if prosecutors seek it. In December, his attorney said that Gendron is prepared to plead guilty to avoid execution.https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1625914218376560641?s=20&t=Fx_4FtE2-19XLaY1QcDr5A
