You apparently can't take Azaelia Banks anywhere, and that's clear in the new footage that has surfaced where the "212" rapper throws down with a Delta flight attendant on a flight from New York City to LAX early Tuesday morning. A shocking video features an enraged Banks, who can be seen reportedly calling the attendant a "f*cking f*ggot," - which has traditionally been one of her favorite insults - and demanding her bag.
The passenger who was seated next to Banks on the flight told TMZ that when it landed she made a run for the door, trying to push aside a French couple who were in her way. When the man put his hand out to stop her, Banks reportedly spat in his face, pulled at his shirt and then punched him in an effort to exit the plane.
The flight attendant then grabbed Bank's bag, requested that she calm down and prevented her from leaving the plane. She then flopped down into her seat, quickly jumped back up and began to fight with the Delta attendant over her bag. The video taken with a camera phone begins at that point and after a brief tug of war she yelled "f*cking f*ggot" at him.
Azealia was informed by a co-pilot that the police had been notified and dashed off of the plane, leaving her cell phone behind. When the police located Banks at the baggage claim, she reportedly insisted that the French man had hit her in the face, saying, "I don't tolerate b*tchassness and I don't tolerate men putting their hands on me." Luckily for the Broke With Expensive Taste, rapper the couple were on vacation and didn't want to trouble themselves with pressing charges.
Vulture reported that this is not the first time that Banks has lashed out used the homophobic slur, infamously calling out celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton for being a "messy f*ggot" and then tweeted in her own defense, saying, "I am bisexual. my brother is trans. My employees are all gay men. . Nothing else to say." Azaelia Banks claims that her own personal definition of that word is "a man who hates women," and that she doesn't consider it to be homophobic.
