moments.
Number five.
Ja Rule's Greek Commercial.
Closing our list of 2020 viral music moments is Ja Rule.
He's most known for being one of the most
commercially successful rappers of the 2000s with
songs like "Always on Time" and "I'm Real"
with J Lo.
So what exactly is Ja Rule doing in a Greek
restaurant commercial?
Best mother--- gyros, gyros.
You ever f—had in your life.
So good.
Ja Rule's commercial, filled with self-parody
and too many bleeps to count,
was actually filmed for TBS's reality show
"Celebrity Show Off" to see who can rack up the
most views.
And with over 330,000 views it seems like he did
an excellent job.
Come on down to Papa Cristos.
You can't even pronounce the food,
it's so god-- good.
Ja Rule also said that he made the video in hopes to
help small businesses during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Music news is always happening, so keep listening.
