At this point, if you have access to the internet, in some shape or from, you’ve come across Azealia Banks. In her world, she would want your first impression of her to be for her music, but in most cases, her headlines have been due to her “take no mess” personality and due to something she has said. The New York City rapper who released her debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, just last year, now finds herself back in the news after getting into an altercation on an airplane early Tuesday morning. According to TMZ, the altercation resulted in punches being thrown and offensive language being used.
A passenger sitting next to Banks tells TMZ, when the Delta flight landed just before 1 AM Tuesday, Azealia made a beeline for the front door. She had been sitting in seat 6A but a French couple in the 3rd row was blocking her exit as they pulled their luggage from the overhead bin.
The eyewitness says Azealia tried to squeeze by the couple when the French man put his hand out. Azealia, we’re told, went nuts. The eyewitness says she spit in the man’s face, punched him in the face and clawed at his shirt.
At that point we’re told the flight attendant grabbed Azealia’s bag and told her to calm down. She lost her balance, fell to the seat, stood up and then a tug-of-war over the luggage ensued. This is where the video begins.
In a series of tweets, that have now since been deleted, Azealia claims that she was hit in the face, which therefore caused the reaction received to all involved. As more details of Azealia Banks’s altercation will surely be unveiled, you can watch footage of the incident with the flight attendant and form you own opinion below.
