Rapper Ja Rule, best known for his early 2000s hit songs and his involvement in the catastrophic Fyre Festival, narrowly avoided disaster on Tuesday at celebrity-amateur golf tournament in the Bahamas. In a video posted to X by Golfweek writer Adam Schupak, Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Bruce Atkins, can be seen hitting the golf ball directly into a line of reporters, prompting immediate reactions from the crowd, with some behind Atkins jumping back in horror. “Ja Rule almost took me and a bunch of photographers out with his tee shot in the celebrity shootout at the Derek Jeter Invitational.” Schupak wrote in the caption. Atkins begins to approach the photographers, asking, “Did I hit you?” before reversing course. Reposting the video on his Instagram Stories, Atkins wrote, “My bad...” along with a facepalm emoji and a laughing emoji. The tournament, organized by Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation, is taking place at the Royal Blue Golf Club in Nassau this week, finishing on Thursday.
