Ja Rule in federal custody after serving nearly two years in gun case as he awaits decision on returning to prison for tax evasion

Platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule left an upstate New York prison Thursday morning after serving most of his two-year sentence for illegal gun possession and headed straight into federal custody in a tax case. 

U.S. Marshals escorted the 36-year-old musician out of Mid-State Correctional Facility at 9:30am. 

He was being held at the Oneida County Jail in central New York as he awaited word from the Federal Bureau of Prisons about where he'll serve time in the tax case.
Still in custody: Ja Rule, real name Jeffrey Atkins, arrives at court with his wife, A'isha, to be sentenced to two years in prison for attempted weapons possession on June 8, 2011
