Juvenile Slams American Airlines After Alleged First-Class Downgrade Incident

The rapper vowed there would be "repercussions" for the incident.

Juvenile claimed that American Airlines mistreated him on a recent flight.

Sharing his experience on Instagram Live, the rapper traveling in first class said he was downgraded and asked to sit in a different cabin. This resulted in a tense conversation between him and the airline staff. In a video shared by AllHipHop, you can hear Juvenile’s wife saying,  “We have the seats. I’m his wife, so how could you downgrade him, and I can still stay?”

The “Back That Azz Up” hitmaker added, "I’m a celebrity. I'm telling you this is going to be repercussions. It's going be repercussions to this because I'm going to get off the plane. I'm going to get off the plane. I'm not going to let y'all disrespect me like that. I'm not going to let y'all choose me out of all the people on the plane and disrespect me. So I'm going to get off the plane.” 

During the live stream, Juvenile addressed his fans and said, “Man, they trynna kick me off the plane yo,” he said. “They trynna take me out of first-class…You ain’t putting me in no coach man. This ain’t never happened to me in my life.”

In another video shared by the New Orleans native, he said, “I think I know a thing or two about first class,” as he scrolls through past first-class tickets saved to his mobile device. “F**k American Airlines, all the money I done spent with you bi**hes. They gon’ try and put me in coach. Motherfu**er, I ain’t never flew coach. F**k y’all. I feel played.”
