Pop singer Bebe Rexha claims she was the victim of a hate crime after she was banned from a Lufthansa flight in Munich for speaking Albanian to a security guard.
Bebe Rexha: She was banned from the plane after a security guard 'threatened' her for speaking Albanian
"I was threatened because I thought the security guard was Albanian," the singer wrote alongside the tear-jerking videos she posted to her Instagram Story on Saturday. "I spoke to him in Albanian and asked where I could get my ticket and now he's banning me from the flight."
The dance/R&B musician, who has collaborated with Doja Cat, David Guetta, Eminem and Florida Georgia Line, is of North Macedonian and Albanian descent.
“I believe this is a hate crime because I am Albanian,” she wrote in a second Story post, which has since expired. “[The supervisor] did not want me to give his name. He continued to mentally abuse me to make me feel more powerful than he was. None of the women at @Lufthansa intervened or said anything.”
