Joey Bada$$ accuses American Airlines of ‘racial discrimination’ after first class mix-up

Joey Bada$$ calls out American Airlines for racial discrimination after a flight attendant didn’t believe he was flying first class.
Joey, real name Jo-Vaughn Scott, vented his anger on Twitter after he boarded one of the airline’s flights to complain about the treatment he received while taking his seat.
“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,” he wrote.
“So I show her my ticket and the whole plane just laughs at her. Stupid b**ch. @AmericanAir is the best airline for racial discrimination. This is why I’m #teamdelta @Delta.”
Fearing bad publicity, the company was quick to apologise for the blunder, and assured Joey they were doing all they could to rectify the situation.
However, the 23-year-old let his social media followers know what really went down.
“@joeyBADASS Our customers should feel welcomed while traveling with us, we’re going to have someone meet you at the gate once you arrive,” a post from American Airlines’ Twitter account read.
“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,” Joey shot back.
Joey’s diss comes months after NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) warned “travellers ― especially African-Americans” about flying with the airline after a string of “disturbing incidents reported by African-American passengers, specific to American Airlines”.
