Rapper Soulja Boy Tossed Off American Flight

Did Not Take His Seat When Directed By A Flight Attendant

Here we go again with another case of a celebrity being tossed off an airplane. This time, rapper Soulja Boy was the offending celeb who was escorted off a plane by airport police.

Soulja was a passenger on an American Airlines flight Friday. He was reportedly walking the aisle of the airplane after the main cabin door was closed and the FA in charge of the cabin had asked all passengers to take their seats and fasten their seatbelts. Soulja Boy apparently decided that the directive didn't apply to him.

Multiple media sources including the website TMZ and USA Today report that the FA directly instructed the rapper to sit down and buckle up, adding that he would be removed from the plane if he did not comply.

He didn't, and he was.

But unlike some other celebrities who have had run-ins with flight crews on airplanes, the rapper later apologized to the people on the plane. He told TMZ "It was a bad night and me and the flight staff didn't see eye-to-eye. In hindsight, I'm extremely sorry for all the inconvenience caused to the passengers and employees of the airline."
