Ja Rule has revealed he has one very important new year’s resolution for 2025.
Taking to social media to inform fans, Ja said: “My new year resolution is to be PETTY…”
After one commenter implied that he needed to grow up, Ja clapped back and said: “I’m technically 12 I can be as petty as I want…” a reference to the fact he was born on February 29.
Another user brought up 50 Cent‘s claims that he bought hundreds of tickets for one of his concerts with Ja replying: “You believe this dumb shit??? Like I said before I got 10k for ANYONE who can produce this footage a photo shit what city/venue did this said show take place??? @50cent is a fat fucking LIAR.”
50 recently addressed longstanding claims that he once bought tickets to one of Ja Rule’s shows so that hundreds of seats would be empty.
During a recent interview with Big Boy, 50 repeated the claim by saying: “I did [buy Ja Rule’s tickets]. They were cheap tickets. The tickets were very affordable. They were on StubHub. I bought the first four rows.”
He added: “I looked at it and said, ‘I just want you to feel like you gotta reach the people, four or five rows back’ [laughs].”
50 also said: “It wasn’t that big of a sacrifice. I’ve bought things that mean less to me. That was fun, watching the show and seeing the spaces are empty because they were reserved for someone else.”
The former Murder Inc. rapper has previously called cap on 50 Cent’s claim about buying his concert tickets.
Back in 2019, after 50 said he snapped up 200 tickets to one of his shows, Ja wrote on social media: “This [clown emoji] 50 Cent is the pathological LIAR. I’ll cash app 10 bands to ANYBODY who has pics or footage of said show bozo bought 200 tix to so it could be empty … I’ll wait… y’all believe anything goofy [they] tell y’all.”
Ja Rule later said to HipHopDX about 50’s claim: “Listen, we live in a world where everything is on video. Come on, man. Stop with the foolery, man!
“Even the thought of it is stupid because n-gga, all you did if you did that was put money in my pocket. And what you think the promoter is going to do? Have an empty venue? You let n-ggas in free or charge them again!”

John Summit is preparing for the biggest tour of his career this fall with the launch of his 20 date CTRL ESCAPE arena tour, beginning Oct. 1. The massive run arrives in support of his latest album CTRL ESCAPE, which was released on April 15.
The tour will officially kick off in Champaign, a meaningful starting point for Summit since it is the same city where he studied accounting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign before transitioning into music full time. His past life working toward a career in accounting also heavily inspired themes throughout the new album.
Following the opening date, the tour heads into Canada for three performances before returning to the United States for a stretch of East Coast shows and southern stops, including two dates in his adopted home city of Miami. Summit will then return to his hometown of Chicago for two performances before wrapping up the run with stops in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and a final show in Oakland.
The arena trek adds to what has already been another packed year for the producer. This summer, Summit is scheduled to hold a residency at UNVRS in Ibiza, headline Lollapalooza in late July, and host the second edition of his Experts Only Festival on Randall’s Island in New York on Sept. 19 and 20.
Summit has already started teasing the arena production on social media, recently posting a rendering of the planned stage design. A full scale arena tour of this size remains relatively uncommon within electronic music and follows previous major headline performances at Folsom Field in Boulder and Madison Square Garden in New York.
See the complete tour schedule below.
