The Milwaukee Bucks invited rapper Ja Rule to perform during their 90’s Night celebration recently and it started out about as good as you’d expect it to.

In the video above, courtesy of House of Highlights, Rule is trying to psych up the crowd for his performance when he asks his DJ if he’s ‘ready.’ Apparently, he wasn’t, because the track Ja is supposed to perform doesn’t start playing.

Many thought that Rule was actually asking the crowd if they were ‘ready.’ If that was the case, this video is even more embarrassing.
