Israel's Ethiopian community turns out for Ja Rule at Tel Aviv's Hangar 11
Ja Rule didn’t treat the visit as a statement. He treated it as a gig, and that may be exactly why it landed with his audience.
On a chilly Thursday night in Tel Aviv, the Ethiopian Israeli community packed Hangar 11 to catch a one-night-only concert by hip-hop legend Ja Rule. The 50-year-old performer, known for hits like "New York" and "Clap Back," was excited to be in the "Holy Land" and greeted the crowd with enthusiasm. Ja Rule, who was previously feuding with 50 Cent and served time for gun possession and tax evasion, talked about his connection to Israel and his wife of 25 years, Aisha.
The Ethiopian community was particularly present, with fans messaging the reporter that they had spent a significant amount of money on tickets but were unaware of the venue change due to rain. Despite the unexpected shift from the outdoor MAX Amphitheater to the indoor Hangar 11, the concert turned into a lively dance party as the crowd enjoyed Ja Rule's nostalgic hits.
