Delta Airlines is not a favorite among frequent flyers, as evidenced by recent claims of racial profiling and racist behavior. Still, their reputation is continuing to get worse. A Twitter video posted by a witness who was on the flight shows an off-duty airport employee fighting with flight attendants and fellow passengers before being knocked to the ground. The man, identified by ABC-7 as 34-year-old Jamar Duncan, is a Delta employee but wasn’t on duty at the time. Other passengers claim to have heard Duncan make “terroristic threats,” like calls to “take down the plane.”

The plane, which was headed from LAX to Atlanta, had to divert to Oklahoma because of the scuffle. No passengers were injured, but two flight attendants and an off-duty pilot were attacked. In the video, you can see passengers rallying to the aid of the flight attendants, filing down the aisle where they eventually restrain Duncan. 

The woman who posted the video then described the situation. “[Duncan] made an announcement that we needed to be close to our oxygen masks & proceeded to try & open the door. They then called all the “strong men” to the front of the plane to restrain him. We ended up landing in OKC as it was the closest airport to us,” she said. She then clarified that he was attempting to open the door to the outside, not the cabin.

Delta issued a statement in response to the incident, writing, “Thanks to the crew and passengers of Delta Flight 1730 (LAX to ATL) who assisted in detaining an unruly passenger as the flight diverted to Oklahoma City (OKC). The company added that they “apologize to our customers for the delay and any additional inconvenience this caused.”

The statement does not seem to go far enough, however, last week a similar incident happened on a Delta flight where a passenger was able to break through the cabin door.

Danny Green has been a solid pickup for the Philadelphia 76ers this season and while some fans might get frustrated with him at times, there is no doubt that he brings some championship experience to this 76ers roster. The team is currently in the midst of a playoff run, and last night, they defeated the Atlanta Hawks to take a 2-1 series lead. It was a huge win for the team although it came at a cost as Green had to leave the game with a strain in his right calf.

After some tests and an evaluation, it was determined that Green will now have to miss two to three weeks, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. This means that Green is likely out for the rest of this series, and the Eastern Conference Finals as well, should the 76ers make it that far.

This loss is a significant one in terms of the team’s depth, although Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons seem poised to step up. The 76ers have a ton of players making big contributions and we’re sure they will be ready to go come Game 4.

Record producer Cisco Rosado and rapper Peter Gunz have had their fair share of beef during their time on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop. In an attempt to settle it, the pair jumped into the ring Friday night to box it out, officiated by another cast member Rich Dollaz. The fight got pretty heated, and at one point it seemed that even the ref was getting punched in the midst of their fight. Things officially escalated when Rosado ripped his gloves off, wanting to fight Gunz without the protective padding of the gloves.

Their fight proceeded the high profile fight of Lamar Odom and Aaron Carter, though the bout between the Love & Hip Hop stars was equally entertaining. Though it seems neither has any proper boxing experience, the two were truly going at it with inefficient yet powerful swipes at each other. The ref failed miserably at trying to get them off of each other, and the fighters’ respective teams had to get involved. At that moment, Cisco took off his gloves and tried to approach Gunz, though his team held him back. 

The ref can be heard screaming “get the man together” as Rosado attempts to turn the match into a street fight. The fight then continued into its last round, after which Rosado won by majority decision. 

Later on in the night, singer Aaron Carter was knocked out by former LA Laker Lamar Odom. 

Do you think Rosado was right to take the gloves off? Let us know and check out the clip below:

Nicki Minaj’s return to Instagram marked her subsequent return to music. After taking some time away from music and social media to focus on being a mother and deal with the loss of her father, she treated fans by servicing her fan-favorite mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty, adding on three new tracks for the Barbz to enjoy. 

For her first guest appearance of the year, the Queen lent her vocals to Polo G on their track “For the Love of New York,” a cut from his latest effort Hall of Fame. She’s been lighting up her Instagram lately with all types of luxurious and sultry shots. Most recently, she stripped down a bit, flexing in a head-to-toe Fendi print outfit with a glamorous knee-length black ponytail.

“When u arrive on set & Tae the tmz bus is alrdy in the bldng,” wrote Nicki in the caption of the brief video shared Saturday (June 12), poking fun at her hairstylist Arrogant Tae’s ability to capture the Queen in all her moments. “I was just tryna change into my clothes,” she added. 

In the footage, Nicki grips her knee-length slick black ponytail she presumably is wearing for an upcoming shoot as Tae cheers her behind the camera. She then shows off her iced out neck and wrist before flexing her Fendi slippers and matching Fendi tracksuit set. 

The “Seeing Green” artist struck a deal with the major fashion house back in 2019, reportedly earning $10 million for the deal.  

Right now, it’s unclear what exactly Nicki is filming for. Some suspect it could be for an upcoming music video. Of course, only time will tell.
