Migos Accuses Delta Of Racial Profiling After Booted Off Plane
Migos were on their way to a concert in Des Moines, Iowa.
Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ Hits #4 On Billboard Top 200 Chart; #1 On Soundtrack Chart
The rap collective Migos, best known for the song “Bad and Boujee,” is accusing Delta Air Lines of racial profiling after being booted off a plane while en route to a concert in Des Moines, Iowa on Friday, reports Variety.
According to the outlet, the group’s members—Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff—were flying first class from Atlanta to Iowa when a flight attendant noticed that one of Takeoff’s bags was in the aisle instead of the overhead storage bin. After the flight attendant ap- proached the group about the bag there was an exchange of words that resulted in Takeoff being kicked off of the flight, the source wrote.
Variety said although he was the only one told to leave the other two group members and their manager got off of the flight as well.
Following the incident, Delta said in a statement to Variety that it removed Takeoff from the flight because he failed to follow instructions:
The group’s manager said Takeoff left his bag in the aisle because he was sleeping, and he believes the group was racially profiled.
According to the New York Daily News, in efforts to re- solve the issue, Delta gave the group an entire plane to them- selves so they could make their concert on time.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are now at war.
TLC were reportedly banned from using late band- mate Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes’ music on their new album.
The group released TLC last month, but Left Eye, who passed away in 2002, was only featured on the record in an in- terlude and on previous songs, which were remastered for the new album.
According to Chilli, real name Rozonda Thomas, the group wanted to use some of the music she was working on before she passed away, but her family wouldn’t allow it.
Despite the difficulties Chilli and bandmate T-Boz experienced while making the new album, she insists it was worth it to pay tribute to Left Eye.

A judge ruled in her favor, entering a default judgment against Birdman for the un- paid balance plus $407.74 in interest.
The mogul was ultimately ordered to appear in court in May. Birdman told the judge he did not even know he was being sued and should not be held in contempt of court. The industry veteran claimed he only learned of the situation when a reporter asked his lawyer about the suit.
