According to Variety, MTV has signed off on a half-hour reality show that will chronicle Ja Rule’s home life with his wife, mother-in-law and three kids.
The press statement that Ja Rule released about the show seems to be pretty indicative of the tone and parenting style viewers can expect: “Family tradition will never be the same, bitch … lmao!!!”
MTV described how Ja Rule’s rapport with his family members reminded them of Bill Cosby’s style of parenting on The Cosby Show.
“Ja Rule is the modern-day reality rap-star version of Bill Cosby’s role from The Cosby Show. He embraces a unique parenting style with his teenage kids that feels fresh and funny,” said Susanne Daniels, MTV’s president of programming.
