Ja Rule has clapped back at Fat Joe who checked him for not defending Ashanti during Irv Gotti's Drink Champs interview. As previously reported, during the interview, Irv spoke on how he found out that Ashanti had moved on to Nelly back in 2003 and also spoke on how their sex life led to her hit song "Happy."
During the interview, Irv called Ashanti a b*tch and Ja asked him to not call her that. Joe called Irv a "sucker" for his comments and called out Ja for not speaking up for Ashanti.
Ja wrote via Instagram, "STOP saying I didn’t defend sis and all women when I clearly told Gotti stop calling Ashanti/women the B word same way I told Joe at Verzuz watch the interview before you talk sh*t… NOW LEAVE ME TF OUT THESE GROWN FOLKS BUSINESS… ❤️."
Irv Gotti also responded to Fat Joe's comments, telling a Houston radio station, "I feel like [Fat Joe] fooled me, he's not my friend. But in life you get fooled." He continued, "Forget Joe. They don't want me to talk about Joe. So, I won't talk about Joe, I'll talk about life. In life, everyone goes through friends. People who you thought were your friends. I'm not talking about Joe. Let me talk. In life, I have had countless friends come and go. But, you know what remains consistent and why I get through all of this? My family. Because I don't really need friends."
