Aisha stuck by Ja Rule even while he served time in jail and had a rumored affair with a man. She didn’t leave him when Karinne Steffans claimed to be having a relationship with the rapper and reportedly didn’t believe Karinne’s allegations. However, Aisha has stated that she prefers Jeffrey, her high school sweetheart to Ja Rule, his rapper persona.
