    And they gave some pretty epic live performances.

    Not to mention, their music videos were always on point.

    They knew that no other combination of artists could compete with their charm and skill.

    And happily hopped on each other's tracks, skyrocketing to the top of the charts together.

    But they didn't just have good chemistry together in the studio and on stage.

    Their mass appeal transcended musical talent and success.

    Fans also love Ja Rule and Ashanti because of their seemingly authentic friendship.

    Thanks, in large part, to their extreme loyalty to each other.

    They always acted like they genuinely enjoyed each other's company.

    No one ever questioned their true allegiances or devotion to each other.

    Since they made it clear they'd always have each other's backs.

    And never hid their affection and respect for one another.

    (Seriously, look at how Ja adored Ashanti.)

    Ja Rule and Ashanti's collaborations AND friendship are one of the best things the '00s gave us.
