Ja Rule Gets Into Midair Shouting Match With 50 Cent’s G-Unit Crew on Flight

Tensions between longtime hip-hop rivals flared up at 30,000 feet over the weekend when Ja Rule got into a heated exchange with rappers tied to 50 Cent’s crew during a commercial flight.

Ja Rule, best known for hits like “Mesmerize,” was traveling from San Francisco to New York on a Delta flight when he reportedly got into a shouting match with Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, both affiliated with 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records. Video of the tense moment quickly made its way onto social media.

According to reports, a spokesperson for the airline confirmed that two passengers were involved in a disagreement and were spoken to by the cabin crew. One of them was later rebooked on a different flight, which landed safely at its destination.

Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, didn’t appear fazed by the incident. In a statement to TMZ, he dismissed the confrontation.

“These f---ing clowns…” he said. “I saw them when I got on. I was laughing like, look at these two clowns lol. They look like they saw a ghost — deer in the headlights. They always talking s--- so I addressed them lol.”

Uncle Murda, born Leonard Grant, posted what appeared to be footage taken before things escalated. In the clip, Ja Rule is seen seated on the plane, speaking loudly in response to someone off camera. Another video shows Murda and Tony Yayo stretching out across empty rows.

“Ja got off the plane lol I took his seat,” Uncle Murda wrote alongside the footage.

Not surprisingly, 50 Cent — whose real name is Curtis Jackson — weighed in on the drama. Sharing Murda’s clip on social media, he added his own jab: “He was by his self so he had to make a scene so they could remove his scary a--.”

The clash is the latest chapter in a rivalry that stretches back to the late 1990s, one of the most infamous feuds in hip-hop history. Over the years, the bad blood between Ja Rule and 50 Cent has played out through diss tracks, interviews and online insults.

Ironically, just a few months ago, Ja Rule reflected on rap beef during an appearance on 7PM in Brooklyn With Carmelo Anthony. Referring to more recent high-profile disputes like the one between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, he questioned whether public feuds actually help the culture.

“Nothing good is coming out of any of these things,” he said at the time. “I think it separates people.”

Still, he added with confidence, “I feel like I was the better rapper.”

For now, it seems the decades-old feud is far from turbulence-free — even when it takes place midair.
