Ja Rule Begins Two Year Jail Sentence

By Simone Hilliard

In this week's installment of nobody cares news, Ja Rule officially turned himself in to a Manhattan court today to begin a 2 year sentence stemming from a 2007 gun arrest.

The emcee was found with a loaded semi-automatic unlicensed handgun hidden in the backseat of his Maybach after leaving a concert at NYC's Beacon Theater.  Rule plead guilty to the charge of criminal possession of a weapon in December of last year.

The 35-year-old rapper signed autographs before entering the courtroom and told fans, "See you in 18," eluding to the amount of time in months he may actually spend behind bars with good behavior.

After he was cuffed and sentenced, Rule shouted, "See yall," to his wife and family seated in the back of the courtroom. The group replied, "Love you," to which Ja said, "I love yall too."

Rule will likely spend the next two weeks at New York's Rikers Island penitentiary, once home to Lil Wayne, before being transferred to another correctional facility upstate.

Coincidentally, Rule was a featured guest at the July 2007 concert Weezy headlined the night both were arrested on gun charges. Wayne served his 8 month sentence at Rikers Island last year.

Leave your well wishes for Rule in the comments, or @MTV3.
