Ja Rule and Aisha Atkins
Wanna talk about ride-or-die chicks? Well, let’s look at Aisha Atkins, Ja Rule’s wife for over three decades. Aisha was the Queens rapper’s high school sweetheart, had their first child when she was 18 years old, and has been with him through some of the roughest times of his career.
It seems to have been love at first sight for the rapper. The story goes that she was the new girl in school and he saw her walking off the bus and thought she was “cute.” On the flip side, she played him and dodged his advances. Eventually, his charm won her over.
He had a lot of “charming” to do too because she comes from good stock. Her dad was a former member of parliament for Tobago West and her mom was a college professor. Even her sister is something to marvel at: Dr. Melita Murray-Carney earned her Ph.D. degree in mental and behavioral health from the University of Maryland and is currently helping people in trauma.
That also gives you a clue as to her background. Her personality beamed through during the couple’s reality show, Follow the Rules.
