Rappers Ja Rule and Lil Wayne were together at Manhattan's Beacon Theater last night - and were arrested in separate incidents in the city just hours later. Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeff Atkins, was the passenger in a luxury sedan that was pulled over for speeding. The car's occupants, Ja Rule and two others, were taken into custody, at which point police found a .40-caliber gun in Ja's possession. An hour after this incident, Lil Wayne aka Dwayne Carter, was seen by police smoking marijuana with another man outside his parked tour bus. The men were arrested, and a search either of the bus or Mr. Carter's person turned up yet another .40-caliber weapon.
The two rappers, incidentally, have a song out together called "Uh Oh." They should've called it, "It's Probably Not A Great Idea To Smoke Dope In Public While Carrying A Gun, Or Have A Gun In One's Possession When One Is In The Company Of People Who Tend To Drive Recklessly."
