Ja Rule has shared some of his unpleasant prison experiences and reveals he has even been labelled a "snitch."

The incarcerated rapper has released an open letter to Vibe magazine, in which he provided details of the last few months behind bars. "My first n*ght here was crazy inmates screaming, banging, and kicking the doors calling the male CO's b*tch a** n*ggas & f*ggots telling the female CO's how they gonna f*ck em, throwing plates of food out their cells onto the floor LOL," he wrote.

He continued: "WELCOME TO THE GREEN MONSTER! This type of sh*t would never happen upstate at best you'd be in the box for a month at worst the infirmary. I even got into it wit these stupid n*ggas trying to assassinate my character talkin about I'm snitching to the guards and that I'm getting special treatment."

However, Rule is not one to hide away from confrontation and spoke of how he defended himself. "I barked on these n**gas and set em straight cause as a man there's only so much you can take before you snap," he wrote.

"At first I tried to ignore there lil comments until they started talkin sh*t like they gonna kick my door and all this clown sh*t. But the funny thing is when I started screaming on them lettin them know they got the wrong n*gga they got excited it was like that's what they wanted to bring the hood out of me."

Last month, the rapper also revealed that another cellmate tried to commit suicide after failing to cope with life inside.
