Ja Rule dropping line of face-coverings, donates masks to the homeless
Ja Rule is donating medical masks to the homeless in New York City — and making his own line of fashionable face-coverings.
The rapper — who’s working with David Prince of Prince Management and charity group Knock, Knock Give a Sock — says he’s given out 3,000.
“Unfortunately masks are going to be a new way of life,” he told Page Six, “The homeless population are people we often forget about. These are the people who can’t stay home and social distance. But they are part of our society.”
He added, “They are hard working people but now this is becoming a real situation that they cannot dig out of and now families can end up on the street.”
Meanwhile, he’s also making masks for his Iconn brand, which sell for $20. “I wear a mask every day — that’s why I want to make something cool, because the one I had looked whack. I needed something to go with my ‘fit.” He added, “So I’m gonna have fun with it.” He says that he’ll donate a mask for every one he sells.
