Gillie Da Kid Slams American Airlines Over Canceled Flight: “They Treat You Like Sh*t”

by

Gillie Da Kid called out American Airlines in a lengthy rant on Instagram, Tuesday, after the cancelation of his flight plans left him stranded in Europe. The Milllion Dollaz Worth of Game host explained the situation while criticizing the airline in a video post. The company apparently gave his first-class tickets away after overbooking the flight and won’t be able to get him out of Madrid until Thursday.

“American Airlines, man, I’m an Executive Platinum member. Executive. Platinum. I fly three times a week man on American Airlines,” he began his video. “You know they oversold the flight and gave our tickets away, man? I was first class, man. Now they’re saying they ain’t got a flight back until Thursday.”

He continued: “American Airlines, is this how y’all treat your Executive Platinum members? I’m confused, man. I’m in Madrid and y’all gave my flights away. My first class flights away. What is it American Airlines? I’m confused. The people at the desk they treat you like shit. They tell you they can’t do nothing for you. What’s going on American Airlines? I’m an Executive Platinum Member. I think that’s the highest. I need to get the fuck out of here tomorrow.”

It’s not the first time that Gillie has torn into American Airlines for their treatment of him as a passenger. Back in 2022, he slammed the airline for allegedly racially profiling him before he could board a plane. “Plane full of white folks leaving Dallas and the only black man is ask[ed] does he have illegal narcotics in his bag,” Gillie wrote on Instagram. “U pick the wrong n***a today buddy @americanair.” He included a video of an officer singling him out on a flight while claiming that he smelled like drugs.

Trippie Redd Denies Being Kicked Off Flight For Smoking In The Bathroom

by

Trippie Redd has denied the reports suggesting he was kicked off an airplane for smoking weed in the bathroom. Instead, Trippie says his friend smelt like weed and the American Airlines flight crew gave them problems so he decided to make things easier and fly private. The reports began after a video of a crew escorting Trippie off of a plane went viral on social media.

“I see media outlets keep reaching,” Trippie said in a video on social media, “I never got kicked off a plane for trying to smoke weed. I had smoked weed before I got on the flight and my homie, he smelled like weed in the back of the plane.”

He continued: “I heard the flight attendant say something, so I walked to the back to see what was up. Then they got to yelling at me. I left, I went and got a private jet. Honestly, I feel like the flight attendants got some sort of attitude or some type of animosity like they hate their job or something.”

“I’m fine flying first class but when I feel disrespected or not welcomed, I will fly private because I feel like I got to get to my bag if I’m going to pick up $350,000, $20,000 ain’t shit. Put some respect on it,” he added.

Boosie Badazz Reveals He’s Masturbated On A Flight Before

by

Last month, rapper Desiigner entered a mental facility after being charged with incident exposure. Allegedly, Desiigner had been caught masturbating on a flight from Japan to the United States. “I turned 26 today and i want to thank ya’ll for holding me down,” he wrote to Instagram last week. “I admitted myself into a facility last week to focus on my mental health. But before that i had planned to release TIIMMY TURNER 2 this week as a surprise to my fans. I recorded this joint a while ago and it reflects on where i’ve been mentally over the past year,” Desiigner wrote on social media after the news broke.

A few days after the incident, Boosie was on VladTV and asked about the incident. “So he just went dumb?” Boosie asked. “Aye, did he go head up with the bitch [allegedly referring to the flight attendant]? Oh he just jacked off? Oh, he fucked up. He need to go to that fucking hospital. He need to take his ass to that hospital.” In that same clip, Boosie explained the right way to get yourself off on a plane. While having sex on a plane, aka entering the “mile high club”, is a fairly common feat, less attention to given to solo entrants.

Boosie Admits To Jerking It On A Plane

While the story is a little old, VladTV only uploaded the clip of Boosie’s own aerial masturbation experience on June 3. “My dick get hard on the plane,” Boosie went on to explain. “It was a long plane ride. My dick get hard on the plane too. Go jack off in the bathroom. I dun did it before. Go jack off in the bathroom. Fucking right I did. I was watching Twitter one day. That bitch was — mayne I was on Twitter, I went and hit my shit in the bathroom. Fucking right.”

Boosie continued. “On the plane. Yeah, I jacked off on the plane. That bitch got hard and it was about a five-hour flight. I killed that motherfucker right there. It was American, I was on American, I remember.” So there you go folks – follow in Boosie’s example and if you absolutely need to relieve yourself (sexually) on a plane, do it in the bathroom.

Sha’Carri Richardson Blasts American Airlines, Threatens Legal Action

by

Travelling via plane lately has been anything but easy for a number of reasons. Around the holidays, poor weather and planning left countless people stranded at airports across the country. Now, even celebrities seem to be having trouble on planes. Specifically, several stars are facing issues while boarding American Airlines flights.

Most recently, Sha’Carri Richardson was taken off a flight after an altercation with an attendant. On Saturday (January 21) footage from the moment she was allegedly threatened by a man she refers to as “John” began making rounds.

“Tell me if I’ll be wrong to pursue legal actions against [American Airlines],” the 22-year-old wrote in her caption. “Not only did the man threaten me, but also an innocent bystander who simply just wanted a picture with me. At the beginning of the video, you can hear a Caucasian male state that he ‘doesn’t give a F as a man that [a] male flight attendant is intimidating a woman.’”

Richardson further explained, “Also the captain not doing anything to help the situation and this flight attendant has applause when I exited the plane. I’m pretty serious the disrespect would not have happened if I was one of them.”

As Yahoo Sports reports, before leaving the plane she got off the phone at John’s request. She later told him that she “didn’t like the tone he used.” Afterward, he apparently continued to look at her phone, later demanding that she show him. In one video, she records herself, talking about going on a vacation. The attendant’s face suddenly appears in the frame and seemingly reaches in her direction.

“I’m recording me but you jumped in my video, so I caught you because you jumped in my video,” Richardson tells him. “You’re harassing me at this point, so I think you should stop.”

As the footage of the tense dispute continues to circulate online, Odell Beckham Jr. was quick to drop by the comment section. As you may recall, he went through a similar situation while flying with the same airline.

At the end of November, he was escorted off a Miami flight after attendants claimed he was “in and out of consciousness.” In response to Richardson’s post, he wrote, “TELL ME [YOU GOT] KICKED OFF THE AMERICAN FLIGHT FOR NO REASON.“

In other news, late last year Gillie Da King also called out American Airlines for racially profiling him. At the time, the entertainer was facing accusations of carrying illegal narcotics.

American Airlines Worker Killed By Jet Engine at Alabama Airport

A freak accident involving a jet engine left a ground worker dead at a regional airport in Alabama this weekend. The man was “ingested into the engine” of an American Airlines jetliner parked at the gate, officials confirmed Sunday.

At 3pm on Saturday, the worker was sucked into the Embraer 170’s engine at Montgomery Regional Airport, with its parking brake set, the National Transportation Safety Board announced. Flight 3408 was scheduled to leave Montgomery for DFW and was operated by Envoy Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group. The airport ceased operations after the accident but resumed service at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. The airport confirmed the victim worked for Piedmont Airlines. 

In a statement released by American Airlines they expressed their devastation saying, “We are focused on ensuring that all involved have the support they need during this difficult time,” the company said, declining further comment during the ongoing investigation.” The NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration are examining the incident. “We are saddened to hear about the tragic loss of a team member of the AA/Piedmont Airlines. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time,” the airport’s executive director, Wade Davis added.

High Sky Flying reported, “Yes, you can easily get sucked into an operating engine and it can be fatal. When an engine operates, the amount of air getting sucked though its intake can cause a low air pressure area in the surrounding areas and pull you towards it. If you’re standing close enough to an operating engine, you can get sucked in by the sheer force of the airflow.” 

Further details about the accident are not yet available and NTSB said a preliminary accident report can be expected within the next two or three weeks. The investigations by the FAA and NTSB are ongoing.
