9:03Now PlayingJa Rule sat down with VladTV and discussed the sometimes tricky use of the NWord among Black people and those of other races.
In 2001, Ja Rule penned Jennifer Lopez's smash hit, "I'm Real," which included a line where J. Lo said the n-word, setting off a firestorm of backlash at the time. Ja says he never viewed Jenny saying the word as a problem, as most of his Spanish friends use it with him all the time. He feels the reason J. Lo caught so much heat for it was because she had a broader fan base that didn't see her as "Jenny from the Block," or a Spanish girl from the Bronx, but as a global icon to be held to a different standard, and in some cases she's even seen as white.
Listen to Ja Rule's take on the controversial term above.
