Fresh off a co-starring role in a pair of Fyre documentaries, Ja Rule<\/a> took center court during halftime of Saturday\u2019s Milwaukee Bucks game for a performance that immediately went viral.<\/p>\n

The Bucks celebrated a Nineties-themed night at the Fiserv Forum and invited Ja Rule to play halftime, even though, as the rapper noted, he barely qualified as a Nineties rapper.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said this was Nineties night, so they brought out a 2000s artist,\u201d Ja Rule said. \u201cBut my album came out in \u201999 so I guess that counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ja Rule then prompted his DJ to begin the mini-concert, but sound or tech issues delayed the start. \u201cAre we ready?\u201d Ja Rule loudly asked a pair of times before adding defeated, \u201cI guess we\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a slight delay where Ja Rule and his dancers waited awkwardly at half court, the music kicked on and the performance began. However, with only three-and-a-half minutes left in halftime, Ja Rule\u2019s gig continued while the Bucks, including star Giannis Antetokounmpo, took warm-up shots nearby.<\/p>\n

On Twitter<\/a>, Ja Rule hit back at people knocking his performance, \u201cY\u2019all really be on my dick\u2026 let\u2019s be CLEAR my sound was fucked up at first and didn\u2019t come on when it was supposed to but I rocked that bitch\u2026 thanks for the love Milwaukee!!! Great win my streak continues\u2026 lol.\u201d He also said of players taking warm-ups during the halftime show, \u201cY\u2019all act like this is not normal at halftime shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ja Rule then put a curse on the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Bucks\u2019 opponent, after that team\u2019s official Twitter poked fun<\/a> at the rapper. \u201cYou just jinx yourself talking to the GOD this way\u2026 your CURSED NOW!!! You won\u2019t win a championship for the next 30 years,\u201d Ja Rule tweeted<\/a>. \u201cAND [Karl Anthony Towns] IS LEAVING!!! Apologize and I\u2019ll lift the CURSE!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
