His tweets caused quite a stir.
The rapper took to Twitter to share his confusion regarding the meaning of the n-word, leaving the public just as perplexed as he was. “Wow I just learned something that blew my mind my whole life I was taught the word N*gger didn’t mean black it meant ignorance but I just looked it up and it’s always meant black smh tell the kids the truth…” he wrote.
Ja later added, “I’m so confused. I need my history majors on this. If the word n*gger just means black, how did it become a derogatory term???… Is anyone else confused by this??? I was taught the word n*gger meant ignorant now I look it up it says it means black…” There were people who chimed in to give the rapper a history lesson, while there were others who thought his lack of knowledge was something to laugh about. Check out Ja’s tweets, along with a few responses, below.

Did Ja Rule really just claim to not know the hurtfullness of the N-word?
He collaborated with J.Lo on “I’m Real” where she famously used it herself (and caught righteous heat for it).
Ja Rule is slowly learning where the N-word came from/means and is live tweeting the process. This is so sad (the content I need today).
In the words of Dave Chappelle, “Who gives a fuck what Ja Rule thinks at a time like this?”
Did Ja rule just confuse the Spanish word négro for Nigger ?
This nigga Ja Rule had the nerve to say nigger doesn’t mean black it means ignorant………..
Ja Rule is 43 and was today years old when he found out the meaning of the word “nigger.” SOOOOOOOOO many adults failed him in his life and I just want him to log off and latch on to a mammy titty.
