38 year old US rapper gave his life to Christ during his film promotion at a church.
Jeffery Atkins known on stage as Ja Rule revealed in a new interview that he and his wife are now born again Christians.
Ja rule who was released from prison after serving time for tax evasion, was on a church tour in promotion of his movie "I'm in Love with a Church Girl," at the Hillsong Church in New York city when he gave his life to Christ.
"Then the pastor comes out, Carl Lentz ... tatted up. When I saw him, he had some (Jordans) on, jeans, a T-shirt. He came out and he started preaching, and I felt like he was talking to me," Atkins said.
"I got saved at that church, me and my wife. We went up on stage, we got saved and it just gave me a good feeling."
Ja Rule has been married to his wife, Aisha since 2001 and have 3 children from their union.
He said he backslided in his faith after witnessing the way his mother was treated when she left the Jehovah's
Witness community, giving him a negative opinion towards religion.
"I found that rather odd" he continued, "I was living with my grandmother at the time. My mum would get me on the weekends and stuff like that. And then they were like, 'You're not gonna be able to go with your mum on the weekends anymore.'
"But then, ironically, when I blew up and started making money and became Ja Rule, everybody could come and speak to my mother." He said.
