Azealia Banks had a meltdown on a flight from New York to LAX Monday night, September 21. The female rapper had an altercation with fellow passenger on Delta flight before fighting with a flight attendant who tried to calm her down.
Banks tried to squeeze past a French couple who blocked her exit as they pulled their luggage from the overhead bin. When the French man put his hand out, she went ballistic spitting in the man's face, punching him in the face, and clawing his shirt.
A male flight attendant then stepped in. He stopped Banks by grabbing her bag and telling her to calm down. As the tug-of-war over her luggage ensued, a pilot emerged and spoke with her. In a video obtained by TMZ, she was overheard calling the flight attendant a "f***ing f***ot." The femcee demanded her bag back and complained about the French man putting his hand in her face.
According to an eyewitness, she fled the plane when she was informed that cops had been called. The officers caught up with her at baggage claim and spoke with witnesses, but the French couple decided not to press charges because they're on a vacation and didn't want the hassle.
Banks then wrote on Twitter, "Ok so I get hit in the face by a man and no one cares. The (sic) only hear what I called the man who was blocking my exit." She added, "I don't care. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't tolerate b****assness and I don't tolerate men putting their hands on me."
According to the eyewitness, the French man never hit her in the face. All he did was putting his hand up for her to stop. Banks herself has deleted her tweets about the plane meltdown. She also made her Twitter account private but it has gone public again. However, she is no longer verified.
