Last night, Ja Rule tweeted this:

This morning, Ja Rule tweeted this:
Yo this is a fucking CRIME what @RobinhoodApp is doing DO NOT SELL!!! HOLD THE LINE… WTF 🤬

Life comes at you fast. Credit to Ja for not deleting the first tweet. Most people would probably try to remove the evidence of a yesterday tweet that completely contradicts today’s tweet. Not Ja though. This guy is done apologizing.
He doubles down:
They hedge fund guy shorted these stocks now we can’t buy them ppl start selling out of fear… we lose money they make money on the short… THIS IS A FUCKING CRIME!!!

“The hedge fund guy.” First rule of offering investment advice on Twitter: be as vague as possible. That way, nobody can say that you either don’t know what you’re talking about, or that you’re somehow committing a crime. Wonder who taught Ja to be vague…

I can make neither heads nor tails of what’s happening with all this stock talk. All I know is that the internet is on fire again, and Ja Rule is trying to put it out. Good for him. Not the hero that we deserve, but the one that we need right now.
