Legendary Rapper Ja Rule Announces One-Night Show in Israel

Grammy-winning rapper Ja Rule, a prominent figure of the early 2000s hip-hop and R&B scene, is set to perform in Israel for the first time. The concert is scheduled for October 29 at the AMPHI MAX venue in Rishon LeZion. Born Jeffrey Atkins, Ja Rule rose to fame in the late 1990s, becoming known for hits that blended hip-hop with R&B, including "Always on Time" featuring Ashanti, which topped the US Billboard charts, as well as "Mesmerize," "Wonderful," "Livin' It Up," and "Put It on Me."

Beyond his music career, Ja Rule also ventured into acting. He appeared in the first "The Fast and the Furious" film in 2001 as Edwin and later starred in other movies such as "Scary Movie 3" and "Assault on Precinct 13."

Following his performance in Rishon LeZion, attendees will have the option to attend an official after-party at Hangar 11 in Tel Aviv. The after-party is slated to begin at 11:30 PM and continue until 6:00 AM the following morning.

Ticket prices for the concert range from 349 shekels for general admission on the lawn, to 549 shekels for seated tribune tickets, and 700 shekels for standing VIP gold section access. A ticket for the after-party will cost an additional 129 shekels for concert ticket holders. Ticket sales are scheduled to commence on Sunday at 2:00 PM.
