The world is a cold, cruel place. We look for order, for purpose, but life can be random and unforgiving. In dire times, we look to someone to make sense of it all, to be a beacon of hope in the grim sea of despair. That man is Ja Rule. Today (May 7), the man himself appeared on Fox News to discuss the topic with which he's most closely associated: credit cards for millennials. "It's a very unique situation," Ja said. "Whenever you can marry the affluent with the less fortunate, you get the birthchild, which is called hip-hop." When pressed about how and why this was relevant, the one-time Murder, Inc. star explained that the convergence of those two worlds was his inspiration for the project. "[Hip-hop] is the voices of the have-nots." The card, called Magnises, creates a network of users and merchants that can be accessed for a $250 annual fee.

Thankfully, Fox kept Ja around to guide us through some of the turmoil gripping the nation. Of the ongoing protests in Baltimore, he characterized it as a "sad situation" and added the qualifier that tension between people of color and law enforcement can't be confined to Maryland. On the topic of the 2016 Presidential election, the "Put It On Me" rapper seemed less than enthused about Hillary Clinton. "I like Hillary," he started, "but, you know, it's crazy--because I also think Jeb is a good candidate as well." Stay tuned to XXL for more Ja-related news as it breaks.
