Ja Rule has issued an official public apology following the viral verbal altercation that happened on a plane between him and G-Unit affiliates, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda. “I’m not proud of my behavior it’s goofy to me,” Ja wrote in an Instagram post shared on Thursday (Feb.12).

The rapper admits he wished the video wasn’t circulating online and that it depicts him being out of character. “I’m a grown man about to be a grandfather and I wish that video of me wasn’t out there either,” he continued.”I don’t like people taking me out of my character so for that I apologize to my wife, family, fans, business and investment partners.

Ja added, “I want people to know at the end of the day I’m still a man. I’m going to stand my ground. I don’t start trouble.”

The disagreement occurred on a Delta flight traveling from San Francisco to New York. Accounts of what happened varied, but the exchange drew attention once the artists began posting publicly.

The situation did not escalate beyond a brief intervention by airline staff. Posting on X, Ja Rule described the encounter in confrontational language. He portrayed the moment as both amusing and defiant, emphasizing that he was alone during the exchange. “I confronted these punks by myself on a plane lmao pssy ass n**s I threw the pillow at Yayo’s head ’cause you soft… [laughing emojis] knocked ya hat all off sht was hilarious…” he wrote.

The post was widely circulated. Ja Rule later shared an email from TMZ that offered a different account. According to the report, witnesses said Ja Rule was loud and appeared to initiate the confrontation.
