Watch Ja Rule Mispronounce Greek Food Dishes In Bizarre Local Restaurant Commercial
Ja Rule did the commercial as a way to help the small business during this time.
The internet is reacting to a bizarre commercial that has surfaced featruing Ja Rule promoting a local greek restaurant.
A little over a minute long, the commercial finds Ja promoting a Los Angeles Greek deli named Papa Cristo’s Greek Grill. Superimposed in front of gyros — he declares that Papa Cristo has the “best motherf**king gyros” — and scenes from the restaurant, the rapper attempts to pronounce a number of Greek dishes the deli offers including tzatziki, oktapodakia, and avgolemono soup.
“Come on down to Papa Cristo, you can’t even pronounce the food, it’s so go**amn good,” the rapper says toward the end of the video.
As CNN noted, the commercial is actually for a new TBS reality TV show called Celebrity Show-Off where, “Each week, celebrities face. off to see who can produce the most compelling content from their homes.” Ja’s commercial is a part of a show he’s doing called Pitch Perfect. In the video below, he explains how the commercial was inspired by his want to help out small businesses.
A number of people have since reacted to the video online.

In related news, Ja said he wanted to square off against 50 in a Verzuz battle. While Fat Joe was broadcasting on Instagram Live with Swizz Beatz a couple months back, Ja called Joe to deliver the news. “Ja Rule is saying he loves hip-hop first and foremost,” Joe told Swizz. “He wants to do this for the culture.”
Unfortunately, 50 isn’t interested in participating.
