Ja Rule's Offering Tax Services But Twitter Hasn't Forgot About Fyre Fest

Rapper Ja Rule attends the after party for the finale of the "JENNIFER LOPEZ: ALL I HAVE" residency at MR CHOW at Caesars Palace on September 30, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ja Rule's tax services aren't being met with rave reviews.

Ja Rule just can't get a break, even when he's trying to give others one. Whenever he makes the news, it's probably not for good reasons and this time isn't an exception. The rapper took to social media to promote Value Tax, a tax company that he owns. "IT’S TAX SEASON!!! It’s simple walk in let us do your taxes, walk out with cash in hand... we also do credit repair!!!" Ja wrote in a since-deleted tweet. There's still a flyer on his Instagram page posted but the world of Twitter, as ruthless as it is, did not let Ja have this one.

Considering his role in the Fyre Festival debacle, as well as his aspirations to create a new Fyre Festival, you could understand why someone wouldn't trust Ja to do their taxes. However, he insisted that he isn't the person who actually does the taxes, it's his employees. To which I say, Thank you, Ja. We really appreciate the transparency.

"Everything that’s funny ain’t a joke value tax over 40 locations Ja Rule BEEN DOING YA’LL TAXES FOR YEARS!!!" He wrote on Twitter. "All y’all thinking y’all gonna be stars better go learn how to diversify your portfolio..."

So, not to bring up, old sh*t, but it was previously reported in April 2019 that Ja Rule himself owed the IRS $2M in back taxes. If true, perhaps Ja Rule isn't the person to be getting tax advice from, after all.
