Juvenile claims American Airlines treated him unfairly on a recent flight. Sharing his experience on a social media livestream, the rapper claims he was removed from his first-class seat. In the footage captured and reshared by AllHipHop, the 49-year-old and his spouse are heard explaining their side of the ordeal to flight attendants.
“We have the seats,” she exclaims to the onboard staff. “I’m his wife, so how could you downgrade him and I can still stay?”
