Rumors of a rift between Murder Inc CEO Irv Gotti and Ja Rule over the release date of the rapper's forthcoming album have been put to rest by Ja’s representative.

As reported earlier, Ja Rule's seventh album The Mirror was set for release this month but got pushed back over sample clearances.

Rumors were circulating that due to the lackluster response of the album’s two lead singles, Gotti pushed the project’s release date back and Ja Rule was angered by the move, causing a rift between the two.

“That's not true.  They get along very well.  They're brothers,” Ja’s rep, Kim Harris, told The New York Post.  “[The album] will likely come out in February.  Ja's going back in the studio to do a couple more tracks.  It was a mutual decision.”
