AceShowbiz - Rapper YG was kicked off a flight in Los Angeles on Monday night, August 13 after he was accused of displaying drunken behaviour.
The Big Bank hitmaker had boarded the American Airlines plane bound for New York, but before take-off, flight attendants had him removed from the aircraft.
YG took to social media to document the incident in a video, filming himself walking back down the jetway as he insisted he was not intoxicated, while blasting airline staff for what he claimed was racial discrimination.
"F**k American Airlines!" he fumed. "They said I'm drunk. I'm sober than a motherf**ker! Racist a** motherf**kers!".

An airline representative subsequently reached out to the rapper on Twitter, and urged him to detail his grievances in a direct message (DM).
"In our culture, every interaction with a customer or team member should be grounded in respect," the rep wrote. "Please meet us in DMs with more info".
