Wale missed his flight out of Newark, New Jersey this morning and blamed it all on the United Airlines crew.
The DMV native documented the moment on his Snapchat singling out one United Airlines employee who apparently closed the door in his face, preventing him from catching his flight.
“They closed the door on my face, y’all,” Wale says in his Snapchat story. “They closed the door right in my face. This why I won’t make my show.”
“They harassed me at security, slowed me down, I sprinted here and she’s the reason why I won’t make my flight and miss my show tonight,” he continues.
The MMG cohort continued his Snapchat rant on Twitter and accused the airlines of profiling him because he’s black.
“United at Newark be profiling for no reason,” Wale wrote in a since deleted tweet. “U got to convince them your first class. Young black dude? Must be a bootleg ticket huh.”
He then retweeted a CNN article highlighting long lines at TSA checkpoints as well as other followers who voiced their frustrations about the airlines in solidarity with Wale.
United Airlines has a documented history of their discriminatory ways towards their paying passengers. In 2014, will.i.am took to Twitter to blast the airlines for accusing him of being a fake United Airlines First Class member before kicking him out of the lounge. Grammy-nominated singer Kehlani called out the airlines for their racist treatment summer of last year when they kicked her and her dancers off the plane while one of the flight attendants allegedly called them the N-word.

Wale is one of those rappers whos career is hindered by the internet. He should duck the public eye as much as possible and not have the ability to post shit online. This is embarrassing. Dude, you were late and wanna blame it on someone else, and on top of that turn it into a race issue. Just stop, wale. The only way anyone is gonna consider that racism is if the flight crew yelled, “too late, nigga!”, and then shut the door in his face. Wale, go home, stay in your house, and just make music.
Hindered? With how namy #1 albums and grammy nods? Come on son.

Wale always been a wack rapper emotional ass nigga!
“United at Newark be profiling”….be profiling? Fucking illiterate retard.
When I was to board in Norfolk weeks,ago and o,I am White, I was told if I was minutes later, I wouldnot be able to board.
It’sjust United..so over .
It’s called slang you troll. We all know you’re black but probably been getting oreo creme filling all over your shirt your whole life.
What part of this did you not understand? You’re exposing yourself as a idiot online. United (Which is the Airline) at Newark (Which is the Airport) be profiling.
“an idiot” not “a idiot”…the irony.
^May even be the sarcasm. Dumbo.
Pretty safe to assume that he was late for the flight and that’s why they didn’t let him on. Celebrity or not, you should still arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before any flight.
Except if you are at Hartsfield, Bush,O hare, LAX, or DFW or Heathrow might it takes 2 hours to get to the gate
TSA is a government agency. The airlines haven’t run security since about 2002.
The bottom line is YOU WERE LATE SO OWN THE PROBLEM. Get to airport on time like everyone else on that flight. If I had an important engagement to keep I would make sure I was at the airport in plenty of time to make the flight. Stop playing the race card because this is what happens to people of all races when you don’t get to the airport on time. Don’t blame the airline blame yourself. It sounds like you have that IT’S ALL ABOUT ME ATTITUDE. Grow up already, act like an adult and not like a big baby.
Show up 2 hours early like everyone else
Lmfao at this clown? Profiling? Bruh, you were late! Tired of the black community shouting “RACISM” when we don’t get your way. Grow the fuck up already. Wale is a chump for this
In all fairness if. He was a white man in a suit he would be able to board even if he was late. I’m sure with his Nigerian name he gets double and triple checked being that his last name isn’t a white American slave name. The point of flying first class is to get special treatment, that’s why the tickets cost an arm and leg.
Hate to break it to you, but those days of holding the door for a single passenger, or sometimes even a couple, are long gone. The airlines go by time and that is about it. If he was less than 5-10 minutes before scheduled takeoff, the door can be closed. This from someone who travels weekly and has for the past couple of decades.
Its a federal crime to hold that door. When they hit a certain time and the pilot says close it, they have to close it by law. They are very strict on this and smh at every single employee he shows is black….this mother fucker was just late on his own

No special treatment nigga Ha !!!!!!
You were late for your flight you black kunt
Fuck this clown, get there on time and go through the security everyone else does and stop using race as an excuse.
Wale the diva strikes again. Try showing up on time nigga, you dont get special privileges because you’re a a famous rapper with money. Try getting a private jet fucking clown.
MAX B-GREEN GAIN IS THE WAVEIEST SONG!!!
I have a strange feeling that there were probably at least 50 other Aftican Americans on that same plane. Funny how they showed up on time and therefore weren’t “profiled” like he says he was.
African American? How do you know if any of the black people weren’t from Haiti or Jamaica? If you have to go out of your way to prove you ain’t racist, you’re fuccin racist
I was on that plane and rest assured they are all racists! All they served was peanuts and vegetablesandwiches!!Where was the chicken?!?No mac&cheeze,no chicken wings,no chicken nuggets and no barbeque sossidges!!!RACISTS!! I for one will not stand down for these racist pricks!We have to stand up together and fight this hideous profilin brothas and sistas!
One time i axed the stewardess if i could get me sum coffee and u know what she had the nerve to axe?!?She axed if i wanted the coffee BLACK!!! I said HEEEEELL NOOOO u did NOT just go there with me!!! RACIST i yelled!
Employee face is priceless when he zoom in her face. She like ‘Who Are You Again, Sir ? …. Oh you’re that rapper people say are borning; signed to a label owner who fabricated his life from a ex drug -dealer and used to be a correctional officer ? Oh and you showed up late to your flight ? Yeah, we’ll let the plane take off without you ” Ha
Some of y’all ninjas must have never traveled 1st class. They really are biased. Serve and approached colored folks differently. There are def perks – Got a free bottle of champagne when assumed I was a ball player
Is hard being black in Amerikkka in 2016.
Who is Wal-E? The Disney Robot???
She’s black, tho. lmao. Everyone knows Wale, so he must have done something.
This is nothing new for United Airlines. They consistently discriminate against muslims and children and black people. United airlines is in the news every other week over some racist s***
