Ja Rule recently shared videos and photos showing him lifting the NBA Championship trophy. Unsurprisingly, 50 Cent believes it's a bad omen for the New York Knicks.

"Oh shit donā€™t bet on the Knicks to win this next game," 50 Cent joked alongside a clip that showed saw a Knicks fan begging Ja Rule to "step away" to avoid risking a potential curse on what has otherwise been a great season for the team. "This janky ass put his juju all on the team. Fuck that Iā€™m bet my money on the wolves! LOL."

As seen in the original clip that Ja shared on Instagram, he lifted the trophy and gave it a kiss. "Champions only baby, let's go Knicks!" he said.

Back in 2019, fans were convinced that Ja Rule cursed the Minnesota Timberwolves after he delivered a questionable halftime performance. ā€œLetā€™s be CLEAR my sound was fucked up at first and didnā€™t come on when it was supposed to but I rocked that bitch," he said at the time. "thanks for the love Milwaukee!!! Great win my streak continues...ā€

More recently, 50 Cent's Sire Spirits brand signed a deal with the Wolves to bring their spirits to the team's home arena, the Target Center. In a video shared on Instagram, 50 Cent joked that he lifted their curse. ā€œWe had a curse,ā€ 50 said in a video. ā€œSomebody fucked up, and they let Ja Rule perform at halftime. Now, what weā€™re gonna do is take the curse off.ā€

Ja Rule brushed off the accusation he cursed the Timberwolves, who are set to face off against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, May 10. ā€œOnly thing Curtis lifting is his skirt," he replied. "50 been on my dick he love my style!!! And now the curse has been extended...ā€
