UPDATED 02/10 1:40 p.m. ET: In a since-deleted post, Ja Rule maintained his side of the story that he was removed from an airplane following his confrontation with Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda because he was considered to be “the aggressor” in the situation.
“I was removed from the aircraft I was chilling ready for the flight to take [off] gave these cowards my back in the SAME SEAT before I was asked to leave the plane because passengers didn’t feel safe they said I was the aggressor,” he wrote. It’s unclear what prompted him to delete the tweet, but he’s denying the pair’s claims that he left the plane because he was intimidated by their presence.
See original story below.
Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda had a contentious run-in with Ja Rule on a flight and shared the footage to prove it.
As seen in a clip shared online, Ja Rule appears in the cabin of a flight before take-off when all of a sudden a voice is heard saying, “Sucka ass Ja Rule on the plane.”
The “Mesmerize” rapper, 49, is seen turning around and responds, “Old ass, police ass, sucka ass” before the clip cuts off.
50 Cent posted the clip to his own Instagram along with the caption, “[grinning squinting emoji] he was by his self so he had to make a scene so they could remove him scary ass [ninja emoji]. LOL YAYO said suck my d!ck, the gay stewardess said it’s going down. LOL”
Uncle Murda, 45, also uploaded the clip with the caption, “Ja got off the plane lol I took his seat [a series of crying-laughing emojis].”
In Fifty’s version of the upload, a second clip sees Ja Rule’s previously occupied seat now empty.
Murda’s second slide sees the men mocking Ja for allegedly throwing a pillow at them and for no longer being on the flight.
Not long after the footage made its way online, Ja Rule responded via his X account writing, “[sideways laughing emoji] I popped on these punks by myself on a plane Imao pussy ass n****s I threw the pillow at yayo head cuz you soft... knocked ya hat all off shit was hilarious…”
He continued, “Via TMZ... Hi Ja — Jamie here from TMZ — reaching out for comment regarding a Delta flight you were on Sunday morning. Witness tells us — From SFO to JFK where Ja Rule got into an argument with Tony Yayo on the flight. Ja was the aggressor and yelled profanities, saying he wanted to fight, then throwing a pillow at Tony Yayo. Crew stepped in and pulled both guys off the plane for a bit. Yayo yelled back that planes are federal offenses territory and he did nothing wrong. [sideways laughing emoji]”
50 Cent’s long-running feud with Ja Rule has disputed origins but ultimately shaped both artists’ legacies. The rivalry fueled major records on both sides and briefly dominated hip-hop in the early 2000s. Today, however, the beef has largely lost its impact, with 50 continuing to take jabs as the conflict drags on with no clear end.
