Ja Rule, Lil Wayne behind bars for possession
Ja Rule and Lil Wayne have been arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon in separate incidents, police said.
The best-selling rappers were arrested Sunday night shortly after Lil Wayne's concert at the Beacon Theatre. It wasn't immediately clear whether Ja Rule had also performed.
Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeff Atkins, lives in Saddle Brook, N.J. Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, is from Miami.
Contact information for their managers could not be found early Monday, and there was no immediate response to messages left with their record company, Universal Motown.
It also wasn't immediately clear whether they had attorneys.
Clarkson apologizes to Davis about new album
Kelly Clarkson has done a lot of talking about reports of a feud with Clive Davis over the direction of her new album, “My December.” Now, she's apologizing.
“I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family,” the 25-year-old singer said Monday in a statement posted on her Web site.
“Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it's respect and admiration that will keep us together.”
For months, Clarkson has weathered - and also fueled in candid interviews - reports of a battle with Davis, who oversees her record label, RCA, over the direction of “My December,” which was released June 26.
“A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive,” the former “American Idol” said in her statement. “Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and out of context.”
