Juvenile refused to fly after being downgraded from first class. Here’s what went down:
- Juvenile’s first class ticket was switched to a coach seat, sparking the rapper’s frustration.
- The New Orleans rapper documented the incident, sharing his displeasure on social media.
- Juvenile’s wife argued with airline staff as they attempted to resolve the seating issue.
- Juvenile vowed to boycott the airline after leaving the plane in protest.
Juvenile, the New Orleans rapper, caused a scene on an American Airlines flight when he was told his first class ticket had been downgraded to coach due to a change in the aircraft. Visibly frustrated, he documented the entire incident on social media.
Throughout the video, Juvenile’s wife can be seen arguing with the airline staff, demanding answers about the seating arrangement. The staff responded that the rapper would be relocated to coach. This did not sit well with Juvenile.
“They trying to kick me off the plane, y’all. They trying to take me out of first class,” Juvenile exclaimed, clearly agitated. He made it known that he had never flown coach before and wasn’t about to start now.
Juvenile was adamant, stating, “They ain’t putting me in no coach, man! This ain’t never happened to me in my life. Man, y’all tripping. I’m a celebrity — there’s going to be repercussions to this.”
Feeling disrespected and unwilling to accept the change, Juvenile decided to get off the plane. He made his way to the exit, gathering his belongings as he went. In a later post, he showcased his travel history, emphasizing he had always flown first class.
Juvenile didn’t mince words in his follow-up video, declaring, “Fuck American Airlines. All the money I spent with you bitches. They trying to put me in coach. I ain’t never flew coach. Fuck y’all, I feel played.”
Determined to reach his destination in Fort Worth for a show with Mannie Fresh, Juvenile mentioned he would be switching airlines. American Airlines issued a statement apologizing for the inconvenience caused by an unplanned aircraft change.
Juvenile made it clear he wouldn’t tolerate being downgraded, choosing to walk off the plane instead.
