With a slew of new projects on the slate, Ja Rule and Irv Gotti stopped by The Breakfast Club today for a candid conversation.

Chopping it up with DJ Envy and Angela Yee, the pair opened up about their children roping them into reality TV via ‘Growing Up Hip-Hop.’ Gotti also talked BET series ‘Tales’ and teased a unique Kanye West tie-in.

Perhaps most notable, though, was Ja’s head-on addressing of the drama surrounding the now infamous Fyre Festival. And he didn’t hold back.
