Ja Rule is sentenced in tax case
Rapper and actor Ja Rule has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for failing to file income tax returns.
The platinum-selling rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, turned to look at his wife after a judge read the sentence in a New Jersey federal courtroom.
He admitted in March that he failed to pay taxes on more than 3 million dollars that he earned between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in Saddle River.
Ja Rule was sentenced in New York last month to up to two years in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal weapon possession. The case stemmed from a gun found in his car in 2007.
The majority of the sentences will be served at the same time.
