When pictures of the classroom block circulated online, concerns were rife that it appeared substandard and did not reflect Ja Rule’s status.
Some even compared it to Michael Blackson’s school, claiming that the latter’s facility looked more presentable.
Others stated that Ja Rule did not get value for his money, alleging that the constructers had duped him by pocketing a large portion of the funds and did a shoddy job.
However, speaking about the situation on United Showbiz on April 6, 2025, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo labelled the criticism from netizens as ridiculous and unfair to the rapper.
He further questioned the critics about their own contributions to their communities.
“The negative commentary I’ve seen so far is ridiculous and unfair. Those who are comparing the structure to Michael Blackson’s are myopic thinkers. How many foreign celebrities have done what Ja Rule did? What have those complaining done for their communities?” he said.
Arnold went on to emphasize that such negative criticism could discourage other foreign celebrities from supporting less privileged communities.
“Can you imagine that, because of the negative comments on social media, Nigerian media houses are now spreading the same negativity about us? This could discourage other celebrities from extending a helping hand, even if they want to,” he added.
