Another day, another celeb apology … this time Ja Rule<\/a> is owning up to his mile-high meltdown with Tony Yayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rapper dropped a statement Thursday calling his on-plane behavior “goofy” … especially for a grown man who\u2019s about to be a grandfather. He says he hates being taken out of his usual character, and apologized to his family, fans and business partners for the viral chaos.<\/p>\n

That said, Ja Rule wasn\u2019t totally waving the white flag. He gave context to the clash, making it clear he\u2019s still a man who stands his ground — just not one who goes around picking fights.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The remorse follows video of a heated showdown<\/a> shortly after Ja boarded a Delta flight from San Francisco to NYC and ran into Yayo.<\/p>\n

As we showed you<\/a>, things escalated fast … with JR even chucking a pillow at Yayo\u2019s head and calling him “soft.”<\/p>\n

A Delta spokesperson tells TMZ two passengers were spoken to by cabin crew after a disagreement, and one was rebooked on a later flight. It\u2019s still unclear which rapper got bumped … but one thing\u2019s clear, this wasn\u2019t exactly first-class behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another day, another celeb apology … this time Ja Rule is owning up to his mile-high meltdown with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2476,93,338,61,60,278,43,2477],"class_list":{"0":"post-295135","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hip-hop","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-tmz-hip-hop"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
