New York was on fire last night as Ja Rule brought serious heat to the NYC Liberty’s home game with a live performance of his iconic hit “Put It On Me.” The NYC rap legend took centre stage, delivering a nostalgic performance that had the crowd wildin’ out, proving that Ja still knows how to own a moment. But it didn’t stop there—this event was more than just hoops and a hit song. The entire night turned into a star-studded extravaganza.
Pharrell Williams showed up to bless the stage, bringing his own flavour and energy to the court. With his signature cool, Pharrell had the crowd vibing, reminding everyone why he’s a musical and cultural icon. From the fashion to the beats, the energy was electric.
And of course, no New York event would be complete without some of the city’s biggest cultural heavyweights. Whoopi Goldberg and Spike Lee were spotted courtside, both serving looks and reppin’ for the home team. Spike, with his classic Knicks cap, was hyped as ever, showing that even at a Liberty game, he’s all about NYC pride.
The synergy between the game and the music made this event one for the books. Ja Rule’s performance of “Put It On Me,” one of his biggest hits from the early 2000s, was a major throwback for fans who lived through the golden era of NYC rap. That anthem still hits hard, and seeing it performed in front of a packed stadium felt like a perfect tribute to New York’s rich hip-hop legacy.
With legends like Pharrell, Whoopi, and Spike in the building, it was clear—this wasn’t just a basketball game; it was a New York moment.
