"Ja Rule Turned Down $500k for Ludacris' Role in 2 Fast 2 Furious." - John Singleton

[hiphopfanatic]

like i said tyrese and luda dont even have to do music anymore, dudes are set for life for playing roles me and you can do, the dim witted buffed up fiery dark skinned black guy, and the skinny light skin comic relief mechanic.

Expert hacker now.

What are you even talking about?

Ja was bank at the time. Sounds like Singleton is mad Ja turned down his offer for what he had going on. Can't fault a man for that. Like someone said though, no way Ja was going to do with Hollywood what Luda did. He's got over 300 IMDb credits to his name counting as-himself appearances and songwriting.

Probably a good thing. Haven't seen FnF in bit, but I remember hearing some cac female doing an impression of his role and it just sounded extra c00nish comin out of her mouth.

It's crazy how hollywood actors are always going broke. Even if an actor gets 10 million he still has to keep making movies to 'maintain' his lifestyle. A lot of these idiots have high personal expenses. Is it really necessary to own 5 mansions and 10 lamborghinis? If I were getting 5-10 mil per movie I'd do 2 or 3 movies then retire. Invest that shyt.

There are people in the entertainment business (i.e.: movies and music) who used to make millions during the 90's and 00' and are struggling today. I guess that's the price of living beyond your means and buying things you can't afford.

The Puffy/Cash Money mentality where everyone going broke and spending it on chains and shyt like that. Even when I hit a billion dollars, best believe that at least 500 million will be in investments or in a savings account. Heard that some of these Hollywood actors be having 2-3 butlers for themselves. That's right, themselves.

Luda and Tyrese better be stashing away a good portion of them checks.

But Furious came before Transformers.


Waiste deep

But Annapolis and Four Bros I remember. Point was, he's been in a lot of sh1t, but Furious set him up for a lot of sh1t. He's not particularly good @ acting

Baby Boy set him up for Furious,we can never forget

I don't know why John being petty unless he was asked this question though,who knows what Ja was going through at the time where he couldn't get back to you....If he didn't actually say "fukk you and your movie John" directly too em,this is kindve a low blow.

tight fam>$$$$$

bids (country club) are good for business, and ja still has his phat crib

murder inc and the supreme team was some real stuff yo.

Is it paid off?

It was 500k to do what, 2-3 small scenes in a sequel to a hit movie?

Even if the movie was a complete flop, it would have no negative effect on him.

I'm sure he could've found time to film the 2-3 scenes while shooting that Steven Seagal/Morris Chestnut blockbuster.

Don't forget Cookout

LOL I would think so too, but see how the media be fukking with us?

Everyone like "Ja Rule broke now! Bet he wished he took that 500k"

But now read THIS article on the story, this happened during Ja's prime in his career.

I'd might have turned it down to depending on what was good with my paper moves at the moment.

Naw hes stupid. Its not like it was the first project which is always unknown. And its not like he was some huge crossover star(wasn't he starring in straight to DVD shyt with Segall) Granted Diesel wasn't returning but it was still a role he should have taken. Esp since it was a black film director offering it to him.

I know what you're trying for but only Ja knows what he had going on then, schedule and financial wise. It was years ago.

But here's your cookie.
