Rich the Kid is claiming that he was discriminated against when he tried to board an airplane on Friday (Dec. 4). The rapper went on Instagram Live to capture the moment airline personnel asked him to not board a flight after they claimed that he smelled like marijuana.
The rapper went live while on the boarding ramp and showed himself and his team being escorted off the plane and told to go back into the gate inside of the airport, even after he went through TSA before entering the plane. He shared some of the interaction in which two people asked him and his team to step away from the plane.
“You’re going to racially discriminate me? Guess what? Look!” he said, while holding the camera. “She’s trying to tell me I smoke like marijuana. I don’t even smoke marijuana, woman. I don’t smoke!”
“You need to get out,” the woman said and he said: “No, I don’t have to get out!”
This isn't the first time Rich has been removed off a commercial flight. According to TMZ, police escorted the rapper off a Delta plane back in 2017 because he was playing his music too loud and refused to wear headphones. Rich also filmed a portion of that incident.
