: It appears that Ja Rule may have bigger money problems than we could have imagined. According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's faithful readers, Ja Rue didn't have enough room on his credit card to make a $55 purchase.

Here's our reader's exact words:

Today Ja Rule sent members of his Life Camp group to Staples in Jamaica, Queens. The order was only 55 dollars and the card was declined ... His rep didn't understand why [but] I was like maybe he should make a good song and make some money so he can pay his bills!!!!!
Dang Ja, are we gonna have to take up a collection....

Shineyez

hotboyjtc

blackdaddy1696

http://r.yuwie.com/blackdaddy1696


mmmama

so what. it happens to everyone one of yall all the time. half the time, i can't call it either. does he get paid for doing gotti's show? maybe he should work on that.


samoanprincess71

Poor Jheri Curl Atkins---- your beef started with 50 cent and is ended with your lack of $50.00 - I guess your ability to just be a beast and put out music isnt the only thing you and Irv are going to clash about now (excerpt from Gotti's show)-LOL


mabeline

Yeah Rite!!! *doing the head move like broman on Martin* & moving right along


MrsCaramell

yeah ok now ja is broke????.....not


ima_hater

LMAO purchases under $100 should be made in cash!!

and he need to take what little money he got left and get some lip injections!


ima_hater

ITS A CONSIPRACY!! lol

first his career gets the beat down by 50 cent

NOW he cant make a $50 purchase.

50 is NOT his lucky number



Luckysaiyan

Good, with his broke A*(. I cannot stand this dude. He was on Gotti's show screaming as usual, trying to sound like Tupac, dude your career is so over.


quelinda456

A couple of things. His card could have been expired (giving him the benefit of the doubt on that one). But I was dating this guy who made millions and do you know he told me he didn't know if his credit was good or bad! a lot of times these artists don't take care of their finances. They depend on other people to do it. Stupid.


thicndawst

mto...yall bootsy as hell...get some good stories! And guess what. Ive been roaming around other hip hop sites..and WHHHHHY they be havin the news...then two days later here yall come with the same ish and then yall have the nerve to say WE ARE THE FIRST TO BRING IT TO YOU!!! TOLD YA SO...AND ALL THAT b.s.!. This site use to be da bomb..what happened? ***** OOO and when yall THOUGHT yall had the TI story FIRST IN THE WORLD..u were wrong! i live in the ATL and that was breakin news on the NEWS channel..yall, get it togetha!


quelinda456

To ima_hater: I don't agree. I NEVER carry cash because there is no reason to everywhere you go credit/debit cards are accepted.


not_1_2_hate

he probably ain't eating good as he used to, but he ain't hurtin' that bad.


HardCore

We all been thru that too, huh?


D-Jizzle

thats a funny *** story!!

too bad it aint true tho


killdanoise1

OF COURSE HIS CARD GOT DECLINED! HE'S DOWN WITH MURDER INC.

JA - GO TALK TO 50 - HE MAY HAVE SOME LOOSE CHANGE TO SPARE FOR YOU - OK BABY? STAY AWAY FROM IRV GOTTI- HE'S PLAYED OUT AND TIRED. YOU CAN STILL GET IT JA, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE SOME FRIENDS BEHIND TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD. ESPECIALLY FAT BOY GOTTI - OK?? LOVE YOU!!


Lockstress

I work in the credit industry and there may be a dozen and 10 reasons why the card didn't work jackazz! MTO...I am so waiting to see you all out and about in the public eye. Especially you Fred!


ICanOnlyBeMe

Dang Ja You Living Like I Am Now Lol

cat4everrr

i don't believe it. if it wasn't him using the credit card, why was the card accepted? don't they i.d people anymore. the cashier had to know the person using the card wasn't ja. i'm not buying this one.


cat4everrr

i wish he would trim that mustache. i hate looking at it


cat4everrr

@ quelinda456

damnnn, how can you make millions and not know if you have good credit? i started talking to my kids at an early age, i would say stuff like "see that candy bar over there, if i buy it on credit it would cost me .50 cents, but if mommy had bad credit it would cost her 5 dollars by the time i finished paying for the candy bar". i remember when i was 18 i would say stuff like "the bill collector will get it when they get it". do you know it took me years to clear that *** up and get my score over 700.


stingray9

Ja will be fine if he can afford to maintain his Jeri-Curl he should be able to scrape up some change to get his target bill straight.


berrygalbx

see instead of attacking 50 he should have been trying to go into business with him and he wouldnt have this problem....he got a 100 gun and no cents!!


barebody

Ja use some of that activator you be using on your Jheri curls and activate the card...and that should make the card work ...


BeautifulStranger

Yeah right!!! This story is B.S.!!!! First of all, Ja Rule HAS money...he still live in that huge house out in NJ next to Rev Run and he has a house out in LI...He still has ALL of his cars, his kids and his wife are well taken care of, so how is he broke? Sure he hasn't had a hit record in a while, but that's why you SAVE and INVEST YOUR MONEY!!! Some of you dumb *** don't know how to do that, so you just wanna hate on somebody else that has MORE than you!!! I don't believe this story AT ALL!!! Get a f&^%$*** life!!!


cosmicgirl

well, at least he looks good in his new music video...I can't believe I just said he actually look good and he DID...


msshawty31

where can i send my donation?


MOTHERSHIP

Thank you, BeautifulStranger! *** just want to jump on anything just to jump. Like damned roaches. Ain't no way Ja is broke and that card could have declined for a number of reasons. Mine did the other day and I had mad money. Come to find out there was a problem with the store's system.


polo617

he better go cash in all those diamonds he purchased back in the day


RealTalk3000

BeautifulStranger and MOTHERSHIP are right on point. Anyone that owns a credit card knows they decline from time-to-time for no fault of your own. For example, his assistant could have been using Ja’s Black AMEX card (which I’m sure most haters on this site have never seen in person) and the establishment doesn’t take AMEX and that may have been the only card the assistant had at the time. The sh*t happens to me all the time and I have to use VISA. It’s no big deal. Then you have some broke a@# cashier that feels this is news worthy. I swear…hating is a disease. I’m convinced. SMH.


VerySexy42

LOL @ MTO

Who are you going to "take collection" from? Nobody feels sorry for this cat, and I doubt if this is true. The man has a wife, if he wasn't taking care of finances, you better believe she was.



carrington

No blkwoman did NOT put somebody in Houston's phone number on MTO... u wrong for that (she *** your man, huh?) CTFU

A different take on African American News and Entertainment... Try Miss Pearl, that old bytch will cuss yo azz out, but it's all love.

iloveyou

Is there any proof? No, it's just someone's word over his. If any of you believe it then you need help.


kymelle

There are many reasons that a card may be declined, other than lack of sufficient funds- So lets not automatically assume that he's broke. The card probably wan't even his personal card.

THIS STORY IS A STRAIGHT UP LIE, 100% UN TRUE... For the Record my name is Erica Ford I run LIFE Camp, and if you want to ask any questions or verify any lies people send about this foundation feel free to call 917 361-4376.....Support the Work Ja Rule is doing in the Hood where he came from...Our Youth are in trouble stop posting blogs & sreading rumors and let's Help Save Some LIVES!!!

LIFE Camp, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization, was established in April 2002. It exists to provide a “second chance” to youth who are disconnected from educational, employment, and social opportunities. The Queens, NY based organization is focused on youth, ages 13 - 24 years, who demonstrate patterns of negative behavior, are at risk of dropping out of high school, or who may become engaged with the criminal justice system.

The mission of LIFE Camp is to help develop it participants into strong leaders and responsible entrepreneurs. Programmatically, LIFE uses the arts (specifically music and film) to: • Instill personal and community leadership skills • Ignite critical and independent thought, and • Provide professional business training

When combined, these approaches will empower young people to make intelligent life choices. As a result, they will be able to build relationships that promote pride in self, in family, and in the community, thereby achieving holistic success in life. www.mylifecamp.org or www.myspace.com/lifecampinc

babygurl78

perhaps if he didn't waste his money on so much jheri curl activators he would have money both in the bank & on his cedit cards, probably that's exactly what he was trying to purchase when he got the embarrassment of his life to hear his cedit card has been declined that sh*t is sad, but it happens.
