Kamaiyah has pleaded guilty to creating a public disturbance at Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport in May.
According to the Hartford Courant and FOX 61, she has agreed to pay a $50 fine and write an apology letter to the state troopers involved in the incident.
Police had to intervene when Kamaiyah refused to remove a head cover that set off TSA’s alarm on May 11. State police said she went into a vulgar rant directed at the troopers and TSA agents before being asked to leave.
After refusing to leave, she was arrested for misdemeanor breach of peace and interfering with police.

Kamaiyah had a few choice words for the media following her arrest at Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport on Friday (May 11). After posting bail, the Bay Area rapper hit Instagram to address the incident.
“Fuck the media trying to paint me as a angry black woman like I’m not out here constantly giving to the youth,” she captioned the photo. “as least y’all all learned one thing today black women don’t play about their bonnets #OutOnBail #4hunnid.”
The local news outlet WFSB described the 26-year-old as “irate” and “aggressive.”
