Trippie Redd has responded to the recent reports, setting the record straight about the airplane incident that made headlines. The rapper adamantly denies the rumors that he was kicked off the flight for smoking weed in the bathroom. According to Trippie, the real reason for the encounter with the flight crew was that his friend happened to carry the lingering aroma of weed from before boarding the plane. It seems like a case of mistaken identity, leading to an unfortunate misunderstanding during the flight.
In a candid video shared on his social media, Trippie expresses his frustration with certain media outlets for sensationalizing the story without verifying the facts. He asserts, “I never got kicked off a plane for trying to smoke weed. I had smoked weed before I got on the flight and my homie, he smelled like weed in the back of the plane. I heard the flight attendant say something, so I walked to the back to see what was up. Then they got to yelling at me. I left, I went and got a private jet. Honestly, I feel like the flight attendants got some sort of attitude or some type of animosity like they hate their job or something.” “I’m fine flying first class but when I feel disrespected or not welcomed, I will fly private because I feel like I got to get to my bag if I’m going to pick up $350,000, $20,000 ain’t shit. Put some respect on it,”
It appears that the situation escalated when a flight attendant overheard something and reacted hastily, resulting in a confrontation.
Despite the unpleasant experience, Trippie Redd remains unfazed and resourceful. He decided to take matters into his own hands to avoid any further hassles, choosing to fly privately instead. It's evident that he prioritizes his comfort and peace of mind when traveling, especially given his hectic schedule and the importance of staying focused on his endeavors.
The artist also raises an interesting point about the attitude and behavior of some flight attendants. While acknowledging that he has no issue with flying first class, he highlights the significance of being treated with respect and feeling welcomed as a paying customer. "Honestly, I feel like the flight attendants got some sort of attitude or some type of animosity like they hate their job or something," Trippie remarked.
