Albany, New York - US authorities say platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule is
in a New York City jail with a July release date.
The
36-year-old rapper left a state prison in central New York last week
after serving most of his two-year sentence for illegal gun possession
and went straight into federal custody in a tax evasion case.
The
Federal Bureau of Prisons says he has since moved from an upstate jail
to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Centre, which houses prisoners
awaiting court dates or having short terms left on their sentences.
The
bureau said on Thursday his expected release date is 28 July.
Ja
Rule admits he failed to pay taxes on more than $3m earned between 2004
and 2006.
A call to his attorney hasn't been returned.
