Ja Rule’s philanthropic efforts were recently showcased on Instagram, where he shared photos of a school he is helping to construct in Ghana.
The rapper expressed his pride in the project, stating that it will positively impact the lives of local children.
This development marks Ja Rule’s first public reveal of his plans in action, despite previously announcing his intentions to build in Ghana.
Ja Rule’s announcement came via Twitter in January. “I’m also building a school in Ghana can’t wait to go and break ground,” he wrote. “Rule loves the kids!” It was a nice idea, but Ja has been known for getting involved in flawed businesses endeavors like Fyre Fest in the past. It was unclear whether the NY rapper would make good on his promise. The post confirmed that he actually did, though. “My school in Ghana is looking beautiful can’t wait till it’s finished,” Ja Rule explained in the caption. “Sending my love and big thank you to Pencils of promise for giving me the opportunity to help change lives…” Ja Rule’s long time collaborator, Ashanti, liked the post.
Fans flooded the comments section to commend Ja Rule for his charitable endeavors.
In an interview with Ghana Web in April, Ja Rule emphasized his commitment to supporting Ghanaian students by building something enduring and beneficial for future generations.
“I know that this is going to be an opportunity that will last for many, many years to come,” he stated. “As I look around, I see a lot of beautiful students here from Nuaso Anglican Primary. And for me, education is the pillar of any community.” Ja also praised Ghana for accepting him with open arms. “Ghana, I appreciate you all,” he added. “I thank you for accepting me as your brother.”
