Ja Rule was sentenced to 28 months in federal prison today for failing to pay his taxes.

The rapper-actor, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, admitted earlier this year that he avoided taxes on more than $3 million earned between 2004 and 2006.

I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal, Rule said immediately before being sentenced.

Last month, Rule was sentenced to state prison in New York on separate criminal weapon possession charges.

Its been determined that most of his new 28-month sentence can be served concurrently with the state incarceration.

In addition to time behind bars, hes been ordered to pay $1.1 million in taxes.
