'Straight Outta Compton' Star Jason Mitchell Goes Ballistic On Delta Flight

The actor was detained after having an absolute meltdown.

More drama for the cast of Straight Outta Compton. Last week, R. Marcus Taylor, who played Suge Knight in the 2015 film, was arrested for a fight outside of a New Jersey restaurant and making terrorists threats at a Jersey bank. Now, Jason Mitchell, who played Eazy-E, was handcuffed after going ballistic on a Delta flight.

According to reports, the New Orleans native was enraged because someone was sitting in his first class seat after Delta overbooked the flight. Mitchell yelled, "Pu**y a** sh*t ya'll doing. I want this whole plane to see this sh*t," the actor ranted. "I paid my money, I'm supposed to be right here — I got sh*t I got to do tomorrow! Ya'll understand."
Well, the whole plane was able "to see this sh*t" and so has the whole world because TMZ got video. Watch below:

Eyewitnesses say the cops were called, the actor was then handcuffed and escorted off the plane. However, Delta decided to not press charges and Mitchell was released. 
While Mitchell was clearly upset, someone has to explain this logic of paying for a flight and the airline deciding, "Sorry, boo — someone else got that seat. Get over it!" We hope Jason got to his destination.
