The saga continues for miniature Rap star Ja Rule as his prison sentence was delayed again today, so as to give him time to complete his new album, but more importantly so he can settle an outstanding bill with Americas IRS.
It has been reported that Ja Rule appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court this morning, where a judge agreed to push the rapper’s surrender date back another three months, until the month of June.
“We want to finish the album, and there’s also a tax issue,” Ja Rule’s lawyer Stacy Richman told reporters outside the court. “Somebody, an accountant, had filed an incorrect form, and this is to correct what was done in the past.”
As previously revealed to you on rapireland, Ja Rule had already pleaded guilty to a gun possession charge and was sentenced to two-years in prison although a date had not yet been set as to when that sentence would begin. Whilst he is out though, the star is busily working away on a new reality show, in addition to finishing his long-awaited album, “Renaissance Project”.
“My reality show, I like it because it’s showing a strong black family going through a tough time,” Ja Rule said. “And how we band together as a family and how my wife and kids, my moms and her moms, bond together during this tough time when I have to go in.”
Jeffery Atkins a.k.a. Ja Rule will now surrender to police and start his prison term on June 8th.
