Whew! Things apparently got quite heated on legendary rapper Busta Rhymes’ recent international flight. He found himself in the middle of a verbal altercation that resulted in him getting booted off the flight entirely.
As reported by @DailyMail, Busta was physically removed from his British Airways flight as it landed at London’s Heathrow Airport following an intense argument with a fellow first-class passenger. Busta’s argument with the woman reportedly began just before the flight took off from New York.
According to witnesses, Busta, 47, boarded the flight right before the doors closed and was carrying five large bags. Things went left when he reportedly began to demand why his luggage compartment was filled, saying “who’s got all their stuff in my locker.”
Other flight passengers claim that Busta instantly became “agitated, aggressive and rude” as he spewed insults at the young woman described to be married and in her late 20s. The woman’s husband saw her crying and upset, which led him to reportedly tell Busta that he didn’t need to be so rude. Witnesses claim that after that Busta told him “let’s go homeboy,” as a challenge to fight.
Those witnesses also insist that Busta was the only person being aggressive during the whole ordeal, as they claim the woman, her husband and airline staff were attempting to diffuse the situation.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police released a statement about the incident:
“Officers at Heathrow were requested by the airline of an inbound plane to Heathrow Airport from the US to attend following an alleged verbal altercation involving several passengers.
They boarded the plane once it had landed at approximately 6:52am on Tuesday July 30th and spoke to the parties involved. There were no reported injuries, and no offences disclosed. The passengers concerned then proceeded with their journeys.”
After arriving in London Busta was escorted off the plane by Metropolitan Police officers, but he wasn’t arrested or charged with anything.
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?
