Rapper Juvenile stormed off his plane in fury after American Airlines crew tried to bump him from first class to coach.

The 'Back That A** Up' hit star was furious when crew members asked him and his wife to move to economy on a Dallas-bound flight, sparking a heated confrontation caught on camera.

In video footage, Juvenile, whose real name is Terius Gray, can be heard yelling at flight attendants and refusing to move to the back of the plane.

'I'm a celebrity. I'm telling you this is going to be repercussions,' the 48-year-old New Orleans native said.

'It's going be repercussions to this because I'm going to get off the plane,' the rapper added. I'm going to get off the plane.'

Yes, that is the question, after all he is a "celebrity".

Wait, you want a journalist to answer the most basic question that comes to mind? Shame on you.
Journalists are only here to get clicks, not fully inform anyone! /s

Journalism at its worst.

Nowhere is it stated that first class tickets were actually paid for. That would have been an outrage and I doubt the airline would have taken this action had the tickets been properly paid for.

If all he bought was coach, that’s all he should get.

When you need to inform people that you are a celebrity, you are not a celebrity at all.

Supposedly, plane was switched without notice and had at least one less first class seat. He was supposedly picked at random.

Used to be airlines would offer cash to a volunteer to downgrade.

There are a lot of cases where airline employees (e.g., pilots moving from one location to another) are able to bump first class passengers. May be the case here, but regardless it does happen frequently

He needs his own plane.

His fan base should buy him one.
