Ja Rule faces prison sentence
US rap star Ja Rule today agreed to go to prison for two years in a gun case, becoming the second platinum-selling rapper set to do time after arrests in the aftermath of a star-studded hip-hop concert in July 2007.
The rapper-actor - whose gravelly voice, thuggish tough talk and duets with R&B divas made him one of rap's biggest stars in the early 2000s - pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.
