“I’m so hyped to reconnect with my fans across the globe and do what I love most, perform live,” said Ja Rule. “When I released my debut album 25 years ago, I knew it was only just the beginning and that I was put on this planet to make music and entertain. The title of my first album ‘Venni Vetti Vecci’ means ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ which I have been doing ever since. Get ready Ireland and the U.K.! We have some dope surprises in store! We’re hitting the globe with more dates soon, too!”

The highly acclaimed artist has been nominated for two American Music Awards and four Grammys. Over the course of his 25 years in music, Ja Rule has attained triple platinum status from The Recording Industry Association of America and has no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
