AceShowbiz - Migos was kicked off Delta flight on Friday, July 7, just hours before their Iowa concert. Their manager accused the airline of racially profiling the group after the plane returned to the gate to remove Quavo, Offset and Takeoff from Delta Flight 1532, TMZ reported.
The incident allegedly began when Takeoff was asked to remove his bag sitting on the floor and place it in the overhead bin. However, the three members of Migos were asleep at that time and none of them responded to the flight attendant's request. Shortly after, they were asked to gather their things and disembark the plane.
In the footage obtained by TMZ, the trio and a flight attendant were discussing the situation. Their manager then threatened to file a lawsuit against Delta, claiming that the incident was racially motivated.
Delta later addressed the issue in statement, saying, "Delta flight 1532 from Atlanta to Des Moines returned to the gate, prior to departure, to deplane several customers seated in the First Class cabin who repeatedly refused to follow crew member instructions to buckle their seatbelts and stow carry-on items in the overhead bins." Delta further claimed that Migos was rebooked for an alternate flight to Des Moines, Iowa shortly after the incident.
