Ja Rule wasn’t having it, calling the tweet from ESPN “unprofessional” and claiming that they were trying to “diminish or discredit who and what I am to this culture.”
I usually mind my business and ignore the white noise but I think it’s very unprofessional of @espn to try and diminish or discredit who and what I am to this culture… whoever post for your social accounts @espn needs to be FIRED…

Along with calling for the person managing the network’s social media accounts to be fired, Ja Rule reiterated that the awkward moment in the clip was caused by a technical malfunction.
Be more professional @espn and tell your little social team to have some RESPECT we speaking on an ICONN… #ICONN

Very disappointed to see how UNPROFESSIONAL and DISRESPECTFUL @espn is allowing their social team to be if your not holding them accountable that means you’re complicit with oblivious slander and defamation to your 35 million plus audience… Duly noted… #ICONN https://t.co/VIYHYByDT4 pic.twitter.com/i3v3xvYqLM
