Joey Bada$$ said he was racially discriminated against on a recent American Airlines flight. According to the Brooklyn rapper, it happened after he tried to take his seat in first class and was stopped.
So I’m boarding this #AmericanAirlines flight walking to my first class seat. But before I get there I put my bag up (in the first class section obv) & one of the flight attendants goes “excuse me sir you can’t put your bag there that’s for our first class customers” AHAHAHA

So I show her my ticket and the whole plane just laughs at her. Stupid bitch. @AmericanAir is the best airline for racial discrimination. This is why I’m #teamdelta @Delta

Afterward, the airline tried to smooth things over with an apology, but Joey didn't accept it. He also said the the apology was totally insincere.
@joeyBADASS Our customers should feel welcomed while traveling with us, we're going to have someone meet you at the gate once you arrive.

Be honest you guys said this just for Twitter. Didn’t see anyone waiting to meet me when I arrived. And even if there was, trust I wasn’t interested. But thank you anyway... for nothing https://t.co/4tmTzyFjZA

How do you think Joey and the airline handled this situation?
