Gillie Da Kid has put a TSA agent on blast after experiencing a lengthy pre-flight pat down that left him feeling uncomfortable and visibly upset.
In a video posted to his Instagram page on Friday morning (January 20), Gillie can be seen being searched by a TSA agent for approximately 1:40 minutes. While the security check is performed, his Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-host Wallo can be heard joking about the extent to which the agent is going.

When he finally rejoins his crew, Gillie Da Kid voices his aggravation over the encounter.
“He grabbin pieces and all that, mad early in the morning,” he says, looking into the camera. “N-gga grabbin pieces man. Nobody don’t gotta search you like that, man. He doing like this man, come on, man. Ain’t nothing in there but my slammer, man. You grabbin slammers early in the morning, man.”
He echoed the sentiment in his caption, to which he once again tagged American Airlines. Gillie previously called the airline out in November for perceived racial profiling after he was allegedly asked to be searched at a Texas airport.
Video of the exchange shows the rapper turned podcaster trading words with a TSA agent donning a cowboy hat.

“Plane full of white folks leaving Dallas and the only black man is ask does he have illegal narcotics in his bag,” Gillie wrote alongside the exchange on Instagram, tagging American Airlines. “U pick the wrong ni$$a today buddy.”
Gillie can be heard saying in the video, “What are you talking about? You wanna look in here? You asked me could you search [my bag] so I searched it for you.”

“Don’t lie to the camera sir,” the agent replied.
“Oh c’mon, man, don’t lie to the camera. You walked up gonna pick me out. Get away from me man. You picked me out,” Gillie continued. “For what? I’m probably the richest person on this plane, get away from me man.”
The agent then interjected to accuse Gillie of “smelling like marijuana” and reminded the podcast host it was “illegal in Texas.”
“I smell like marijuana, are you serious? Are you serious? What do you mean be real. You be real,” Gillie said. “Picked the wrong one today, huh?”

Gillie Da Kid is far from the first rapper to voice their frustrations with American Airlines. In 2018, YG criticized the airline for being racist after he was accused of being drunk on a flight and removed from the plane.
While American Airlines never responded to YG or Gillie, they did bite back on one occasion involving Iggy Azalea, who chastised the airline for giving away her and her son’s seat on a flight.

Airline staff then responded and told TMZ that Iggy missed her flight because of her own tardiness.
