French Montana Vows To Never Use Airline After Racial Discrimination: “This Struck A Nerve”

Bad Boy’s French Montana is not here for the racial inequality or discrimination. The hip-hop heavyweight has announced he will no longer fly Delta Airlines following a now-infamous incident with YouTube star Adam Saleh.

Montana went to Instagram Wednesday (December 21 to unload his issues with Delta allegedly kicking Saleh off a flight for speaking Arabic.

Hours prior, Saleh went to Twitter and showed footage of himself getting kicked off a Delta flight.

Tensions flared after Saleh found himself in an argument with another passenger for speaking Arabic over English in a phone conversation with his mom.

He said when he was speaking to her, a woman in the seat in front of him turned around and told him he ought to speak English. Saleh said he told her he can speak whatever language he likes, and her husband responded by standing up and screaming at him. Then about 20 people allegedly said they were uncomfortable with Saleh and his Arabic-speaking companion. The pair were approached by the captain, who Saleh said “seemed ashamed and embarrassed” when he asked them to leave the plane because of the other passengers’ complaints. (CBS News)

Delta has since issued a statement regarding what went down amid the viral controversy.

“Maintaining a safe, comfortable and orderly onboard environment is paramount for every flight and requires the cooperation of all of our customers in conjunction with adherence to directions from our crew members. This is a Delta policy and is required by U.S. regulations as well as others governing aviation worldwide. Two customers were removed from Delta flight 1 departing London-Heathrow today after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort. We have spoken with the customers who were removed; they were rebooked on another flight. Plans are in place to immediately speak with our crew and other passengers when the flight lands this afternoon. We will provide an update once we have more information.” (Statement)
