American Airlines Passenger's Bizarre On-Flight Rant Going Viral

An unruly passenger on an American Airlines flight went on a profanity-laced rant prior to takeoff Sunday.

The man, who was on a flight heading from Charlotte to Denver, spent more than 10 minutes ranting, according to videos of the episode posted on social media. At different points during the tirade, the man cursed out essentially the entire cabin, complained about losing his phone charger and ranted that American “lost a lifetime customer."

In the first video below, he also claims to be "the realest person on the East coast" and claims he's scheduled to collaborate with Florida rapper Kodak Black.

"You guys f-----g messed with the wrong one," the man said. "You guys f----d with the realest person on the East coast. Like I'm really doing a feature with Kodak Black, I'll s--t on all of you."

At other points, the man said he needed access to his phone to answer his boss, claiming he makes "$1 million" per year. He also demanded liquor, even though he “doesn’t even like to drink” and threatened to "light a blunt on this plane."

The passenger also said he could get "100 people" to come and surround the plane on the tarmac and told a flight attendant he insulted that he "expected better" from her and she had "beautiful eyes."

The man has not been identified, but American Airlines said in a statement he was booted from the aircraft before it took off, presumably to the delight of everybody else on board.

“The flight continued as scheduled following the removal. We thank our customers for their patience and apologize for the inconvenience,” the statement said.
