Ja Rule says the beef between him and the dudes in G-Unit is in the freezer … it’s not heating up despite the recent plane exchange — but it’s always ready to thaw.

We caught up with the rapper in New York City Tuesday … and, we asked him why he apologized for the recent argument with Tony Yayo on a Delta Flight.

JR tells us he’s a grown man … and, there’s a time and a place to handle beef.

That said, Ja says he doesn’t regret his behavior on the flight — because he’s no coward — and he’s ready to stand on business when called out.

As for when we can expect Ja to sit down with 50 Cent and Tony to officially squash the beef … and, it sounds like we’ll be waiting a long time. Ja says the war is cold — but that doesn’t mean he wants to be buddy-buddy with these other dudes.

We shared video of Ja Rule’s shouting match on a flight headed from San Francisco to NYC … during which he even chucked a pillow at Yayo. He later released the statement apologizing — referring to his own behavior as “goofy.”

Bottom line … a full-on rap war hasn’t kicked off yet — but, a Ja-Yayo collab ain’t forthcoming!
