VIDEO : Ja Rule Could Have Had Ludacris' Role in the 'Fast and Furious' Franchise

2 Fast 2 Furious suffered from two devastating absences from the original film: Vin Diesel and Ja Rule . One of those men went on to return to the franchise and all the spoils that came with it. The other had his music career shattered by 50 Cent and spent more than two years in prison. Things could have gone differently, though, as the rapping cookie monster passed on an offer for an expanded role in the sequel to Fast and the Furious . That role eventually ended up going to Ludacris, who's since put together a legitimate acting career and become a star of the blockbuster franchise.??
