Dave East has a message for Delta Airlines after he was removed from a flight to Atlanta on Friday (September 11).
“RACISM,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a three-minute video of his experience with Delta crew after he was removed. “Fucc Delta! Racist Ain’t Even The Word! This Jamaican Man Defending me and He don’t even know me!!!! He watched the racist harassment!!!!
“Delta Airlines Y’all Need To Stop Hiring these racist, stupid, ignorant TRUMP supporters that get nervous when they see a PERSON OF COLOR in first class!!! Bitch just ask me what I want to drink and keep it pushing!!!! Shit got me Hot.”
East alleges he was kicked off the flight from New York to Atlanta because a woman got nervous seeing a Black man in first class. Despite a stranger attempting to defuse the situation and allowing East to fly, the Karma 3 rapper chose to exit the flight. As he exited the plane, he was greeted by more than six officers from the New York Port Authority, waiting on him.
“Where the lady at who got me kicked off the plane?” East asks as the flight crew waits for an all-clear. “With all this shit going on in the news — Black people getting shot every fuckin’ day — y’all do this on an airplane? Look at y’all. Y’all don’t even wanna be here!”
East then begins filming the Port Authority officers and recording their badge numbers. Once he reaches the lone Black officer, he says, “You the brotha. You just doing yo job though.”
Dave East Says 'FUCC NYPD' After He's Taken Into Custody
Following the incident, East wondered why they were letting the woman who offended him and start everything fly and not him. The man defending him can be seen on camera once more talking to an attendant but isn’t getting through to her. “It’s a mental block, bro, East comments. “A mental block.”
East’s issues with racism as well as authorities have been a common point in 2020. In May, he was taken into custody by the New York Police Department and cited for marijuana possession and disorderly conduct.
The Harlem rapper was in the backseat of an SUV that was pulled over by cops for failure to signal near the Queensbridge Houses. According to NBC4 New York, East and another passenger allegedly became “combative” with asked to present identification.
A search of the vehicle turned up six bags of marijuana, prompting officers to take him into custody. He shared a video of the incident with him in handcuffs but later deleted it.
Quick question, was it cause he refused to wear a mask? Jus askin.
Of course there is racism in america and of course minorities are being harrassed everyday on some bullshit ! But yall cannot deny that rappers actin like gangsta in the public eye because they have to sell a certain image to the audience cannot complain when some people don’t feel comfortable around them. I ain’t sayin dave east pulled a gun on the airplane and behaved wildly but come on homie … you can’t have it both ways ! You can’t act and dress like a street thug and then act all surprised when regular people are not feeling comfortable around you ! And if delta airline was really racist the jamaican dude who tried to plead your case would have been kicked out off the plane too but he wasn’t. Moreover everytime that type of incident happens it always involved a black woman acting like a ratchet (i.e. aezelia banks) or a black man acting like a thug…
That’s funny because minorities, Mexicans and Central Americans, get beat and robbed weekly by feral blacks in Los Angeles and nobody blames racism. They constantly rob street vendors out here and you never hear them cry “racism” despite being called all sorts of racist names by black thugs. So blacks are just as racist as any other group out there. I never see white people from the OC come out here to beat Mexicans….it’s just the local blacks doing that.
As a white guy, if I saw White guy with his Hells Angels vest, patch and all on, on a airplane, I would be nervous/concerned too. Sorry but you can “keep it gangsta” and still look presentable in public. Black bandanna, white/black tee with a designer logo , camo shorts, and some Jordan shoes. Couple chains even a ring. Simple but still acceptable because anyone of any race can rock that style. Also you’re on a fucking plane, trying to handle your legit business, not traveling by car with 50 kilos in the back. Act professional in the moment instead of making everyone job harder with a whole “this is racist ” rant. Those white TSA security could give two fucks that you’re black, they are thinking the same thing as you, “We are wasting our time on this shit”. It even says in the article he could still fly but CHOOSE to leave.
This clown goes on and pretends to know the flight crews political affiliations just because his ghetto ass got denied a flight. Lol boy, these uneducated morons are really drinking the Koolaid by the gallons. They are their own worst enemy….
East asks as the flight crew waits for an all-clear. “With all this shit going on in the news — Black people getting shot every fuckin’ day — y’all do this on an airplane? Look at y’all. Y’all don’t even wanna be here!”
Well, tell your people to stop shooting each other, fool. Oh, and learn proper English. Ebonics went out years ago.
You must live under a rock!!
I notice trolling on this site…what if its other black people doing this trolling just to get a rise out of a situation because “said” uncle tom feels it is okay or acceptable to make an outlandish statement about what goes on in the real world but at the same time it could be some other race who decided to make an uneducated decision to go on a faceless site and disparage another culture for what we go through in our daily lives. Time for us as people to come around and realize that yes we all have an opinion, but if you are not man or woman enough to present your face at the same time as voicing your opinion then it is time to get the fuck off these sites and do some self learning
Says the one who’s also voicing his opinion about black people on this website FOH !
I’m sorry…what? I don’t think anyone should doxx themselves regardless of opinion. Sounds like you just want everyone to think the same just because of the color of their skin. Sounds a bit racist if you ask me. By all means take your advice and do some self learning instead of projecting your own faults onto other people.
Time for you to either STFU or follow your advice. Fake ass wannabe Keyboard social warrior. You’re doing the same trolling as you claim is going on.May not be able to show face but if you that high and mighty, use your real name not “craziness”
Dave needs some insight from ye. You are not a victim Dave, and accountability will set you free my dude – live like a king and not a peasant
This old chestnut again…..smfh
He should sue the airline
Lmao
PUBLICITY STUNT
Get cha money up! Fly private.
Everything wrong in these people’s lives they just blame on racism.
It’s everyone’s fault but yours. That’s the motto for 2020. It’s fuck the NYPD, fuck Delta. He wasn’t kicked off of the flight, they were going to allow him to fly. He stepped off on his own after talking a gang of shit. They asked him to remain seated until takeoff and he kept insisting on having drinks and standing up. He he been white, they would have arrested him. SMH
White???? WTF???? You must be on drugs!!
White people ain’t that provocative or dumb, they actually follow rules and protocol you know ‘when in Rome’ this naqqa momma shoulda whipped on his ass more another dumbass IGNORANT as fxck YOU are the problem son! @ Dave East punk ass
3 things about Dave East: He is from the burbs, has both parents that each other and went to private school. All same as J. Cole.
But what happened? He just started screaming that everyone was racist. No one is threatened by a black person in first class. Everyone goes through a metal detector. Why do I get the feeling that this guy isn’t telling the whole story? Was he being an obnoxious asshole? Was he verbally abusive to the old white lady? Did he act like he was a boss to the flight attendant? They just don’t kick you off a plane for being black. What did you do pal? Then we can go from there. Another thing, if you don’t want to intimidate people then don’t get a bunch of tattoos and have braids in your hair. Don’t look like 90% of the criminals on the news every night. If you Don’t want to be perceived As a threat then don’t look like one. Grungy looking white people scare people too.
Braids and tattoos makes you a threat? That is the craziest think I have ever heard. Why do so many people come to Hip Hop site to degrade people? Makes no sense. Just go to a different site. I agree he left something out possibly, but Braids and Tattoos make you a threat!! There are a bunch of people with tattoos. Many of them white also. Are they a threat also?
No one is being degraded, wtf you talking about? Re-read Bill’s comment. ” Grungy looking white people scare people too ” You just saw an excuse to be offended and jumped on it.
Not the case. Grungy people not scary either killah. Come one dude!! I did not bring them up due to they have nothing to do with Dave East. So says ANYONE with braids, tattoos or grunge look make them scary is not degrading them? Take it how you want it.
verb
1.
treat or regard (someone) with contempt or disrespect.
I did not bring up Grungy due to we talking about article about Dave East. But, just because someone in grungy does not make them scary either. Braids, tattoos or grungy look my make person less desirable to others, but that makes them scary or dangerous?? Come on. That is degrading to all 3! Degraded. I am not offended, just making statement. I do not have any of the 3, but I am sure someone can find something about anyone to use to replace those characteristics.

I’m not saying that it’s right for someone to judge someone based on their look. What I am saying, is that is the reality of it. If you turn on local news tonight 90% of criminals have tattoos and braids. How many doctors have tattoos and braids? Lawyers? Accountants? Engineers? Any type of educated person? Exactly. Not saying they’re all saints either. Not saying that a doctor can’t have a sleeve tattoo and be any less educated than a doctor without one. If you saw a white guy with dirty jeans, boots covered in dust, and an orange shirt you’d think, “oh he’s a construction worker.” It’s a uniform, and unfortunately for Dave East, tattoos and braids are part of the thug uniform. So hypothetically, if he did scare the old white lady, can you really blame her? I’m not saying she’s right, but you have to see her point of view as well. My point is that if you are offended being perceived in a certain way, then you need to portray yourself differently, and that it isn’t solely based on the color of your skin. Not everything is racism. Blaming everything on racism is the quickest way to create more racism. Don’t be so soft. Come to grips with reality. As far as coming on this website, I like hip hop music. So I’m here. Most importantly, you know and I know that he did not get kicked off the flight for being black. He was doing something he shouldn’t have been doing and was removed from the flight. Then he blamed his race because it’s the easiest way to get attention and sympathy. The vast majority of white Americans do not care about someone’s skin color. Are there people out there who are just straight racist and won’t give someone a chance because of their skin color? Absolutely. Is it common? Not really. A multi billion dollar corporation doesn’t care what color their customers are. They just want their money, and they wouldn’t be stupid enough to discriminate against someone solely on their race because they’d get sued and lose money.
Yea so did Jussie Smollet, we all know who the real racists in the US are and it ain’t white people.
If it was racism how come they had no problem with the Jamaican dude huh???????
