American Airlines claims it removed rapper YG from a flight Monday because he was drunk, but the rapper claims it is all about racism.
Taking to Twitter, YG exclaimed in a video from the gangway, “Fuck American Airlines,” he said. “They kick me off the plane and talkin’ ’bout I’m drunk… I’m sober than a muthafucka!”
He even tried to blame President Donald Trump by saying “Fuck Donald Trump,” PageSix reported.
But a representative for American Airlines pointed out that the video itself proved their case for having the rapper removed, PageSix said.
The 28-year-old “Fuck Donald Trump” rapper was trying to catch a flight from Los Angeles to New York, according to reports.
American Airlines said the rapper was asked to deplane because he was drunk and belligerent at around 8:37 PM. But the carrier also responded to the rapper’s accusations with a tweet saying, “In our culture, every interaction with a customer or team member should be grounded in respect. Please meet us in DMs with more info.”
YG later added that he was able to catch a Delta flight to make his concert in New York.
