Azealia Banks Plane Fight: Calls Flight Attendant “F*cking F*ggot”, Punches
The singer, who had been sitting in seat 6A, according to TMZ, went ballistic at the unsuspecting pair, who had been seated in the third row for the duration of the flight from New York.
Taking her frustrations out on a flight attendant, she started screaming and called him a ‘f***ing f***ot’.
The 24-year-old rapper had landed in Los Angeles and was trying to quickly exit the plane when a French couple was blocking her way out. That’s when the flight attendant intervened, took her bag and advised her to calm down.
The eyewitness disputes Azealia’s claim that the French man hit her in the face, insisting all he did was put his hand up for her to stop. Then, other passengers on the flight filmed her speaking to a flight attendant.
A video obtained by TMZ shows what happened next: Banks is seen trying to yank her luggage from the flight attendant, when one of the pilots emerges to speak with her.
She began to rant at the air steward and then calls him a “f***ing f***ot'”.
Azealia has a history with the the word “f***ot” – she uses it frequently on social media – and earlier this year she explained why she gets a pass, in her mind. When the co-pilot joins the scene and informs Banks that the police have been called, Banks runs off the plane and drops her cell phone in the process. Give me my s**t’.
Police located the couple she allegedly assaulted, but they decided not to press charges as they’re in from France on vacation and they stated they don’t want the hassle.
“Ok so I get hit in the face by a man and no one cares”, Banks tweeted after video of her homophobic comment went viral.
“I don’t tolerate bitchassness and I don’t tolerate men putting their hands on me.”
