It appears that Philadelphians don’t care
for mainstream rappers or modern R&B singers or at least don’t like
them mixed up with their sporting events.
In 2001 Philly fans booed Destiny's Child
when they performed during halftime at Game Three of the NBA Finals. This
past Sunday (Jan 19th) Philly fans once again took to booing the halftime
entertainment, this time it was Ja Rule and Ashanti.
Yahoo’s Launch reports that fans greeted
Ja Rule and Ashanti with boos when they took the stage for a half-time
performance of Ja Rule’s latest single “Mesmerize” at the NFC Championship
game at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia on Sunday.
Perhaps the fans were upset that their
hometown team was losing the championship game to Tampa Bay or they were
just affirming Ja Rule’s recent drop in popularity. According to Launch
the rapper’s latest album “The Last Temptation” has failed to follow in
the footsteps of his two previous triple-platinum releases with the new
CD showing only “lukewarm” sales since it was released in November.
