Rap star Ja Rule is to host an intimate club gig at “the world’s highest theatre club”, The Act Dubai on November 6.

The American rhymesmith is in town to launch a new Saturday night party – entitled Squad – at the 42nd floor venue, which is inside the Shangri-La Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Best known for hits including Between Me and You and Holla Holla, the performer otherwise known as Jeffrey Atkins has flirted with acting over his two-decade career, most recently spotted on screen in 2013's I'm in Love with a Church Girl.

A frequent visitor to the emirates, Ja Rule performed at rival Cavalli Club in April. On an earlier visit, in November 2015, the millionaire rapper was spotted dining humbly at Nando’s on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Doors open at 8.30pm. Reservations are required – call 04 355 1116 or reservations@theactdubai.com
