A long-running hip-hop rivalry spilled into the skies this week after a viral video surfaced showing Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda clashing with Ja Rule during a commercial flight.
The incident reportedly took place on a Delta flight traveling from San Francisco to New York. In the clip circulating online, voices are raised as the plane prepares for departure, with tension escalating fast. Moments later, the video jumps ahead to Ja Rule no longer seated.
Holding up a pillow, Tony Yayo narrates the aftermath. “This is the pillow Ja Rule threw at me. Soft ass n***a,” he says on camera. Uncle Murda then pans the camera to Ja’s empty seat, adding, “This is where he was sitting before we got him out of here.”
Murda later posted the video to Instagram, captioning it, “Ja got off the plane lol I took his seat 😂😂,” turning the confrontation into instant internet fodder.
50 Cent Piles On
Never one to miss an opportunity, 50 Cent reposted the clip with his own commentary, mocking Ja Rule and framing the situation as attention-seeking behavior. His post quickly went viral, adding another layer to the decades-long G-Unit vs. Murder Inc. saga.
Ja Rule Fires Back
Ja Rule didn’t stay silent for long. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he offered his version of events, claiming he confronted the pair solo and downplayed the entire incident.
“I popped on these punks by myself on a plane lmao… I threw the pillow at Yayo head cuz you soft… knocked ya hat all off sh*t was hilarious,” he wrote.
In a follow-up post, Ja shared what appeared to be a message from TMZ, summarizing witness claims that he was the aggressor and that flight crew temporarily removed those involved to de-escalate the situation.
Timing Isn’t Random
The confrontation comes just days after Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda launched their new podcast, The Real Report. The debut episode touched on familiar names and old tensions, including Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, G-Unit, and 50 Cent — making fans wonder if lingering animosity followed them onto the plane.
No arrests were reported, and the flight eventually continued. Still, the moment has reignited debate about whether hip-hop’s longest-running beefs ever truly die — or just find new places to resurface.
