He dropped out of high school as a teenager to pursue his rap career, but he has now finally received his degree after passing his GED exam. Ja Rule got a little help from a fellow inmate, Dennis Kozlowski, a college-educated former business CEO.
“I was studying for my GED and Koz came in and talked to me and said, ‘If you need any help, let me know.’ On the outside you don’t meet guys like this every day. This place is amazing.” Ja is due to walk free in June 2013, is now looking to further his studies, he plans to begin taking college courses later this month.
