Ty Dolla $ign tried to get a blind woman moved out of her seat on an Air Canada commuter flight because he told her he was allergic to her seeing-eye dog.

The rapper was flying from Montreal this past Saturday to Ottawa where he performed later that night at the Escapade Music Festival.

We're told Ty and the person he was traveling with approached the blind woman who was seated behind the rapper with her pooch and tried to get them removed from the plane before takeoff. When the woman supposedly offered an allergy pill, the rapper refused ... saying he had to perform.

Air Canada staff eventually intervened asking Ty if he had contacted the medical assistant desk about his allergy. He said he hadn't.

Since the woman had OK-ed the dog ahead of time for the flight, she did NOT have to move. Air Canada staff also offered to move Ty to the back of the plane, but he refused ... saying he had paid for his seat.

We've reached out to Ty, but no word back yet.

Well gosh isn’t he specia?

[Skywise]

Bet he’s Muslim... they hate dogs.

Smoke doesn’t bother him, but a dog does?

However, I can see his point. Some people are allergic to dogs.

[EagleUSA]

I would have had him moved....I am allergic to rappers.

[alancarp]

So what was the outcome here? He “tried” to have her moved and he refused to move... that sounds like an impasse.

I’m allergic to rap. Could I have him removed???

[Robert A Cook PE]

Muslim dog allergy?

[Menehune56]

Montreal to Ottawa, 100 miles, flight time 45 minutes? What a maroon.

From what I gather, no one wound up changing seats.

[Bonemaker]

He’ll be worm food before long.

[Bonemaker]

Reason # 423 why I no longer fly.

[Rebelbase]

I wish she’d have had a big boa draped around her shoulders.

I bet he’d have moved to the back of the plane.

Stop the allergic reaction. Give him a plastic bag to put over his head.

When the woman supposedly offered an allergy pill, the rapper refused

My guess is that is the only drug he has ever refused in his life.

Why doesn't his preciousness move to another seat if his allergy is such a problem?

[Steely Tom]

Rent yo’ own jet, foo.

[Vendome]

Bet he owns a pack of pit bulls...

[chris37]

I would have asked that the rapper be moved, because I am allergic to filth.

[bobby.223]

Well, walk next time you freakin’ thug punk.

[easternsky]

Yes and some people really do have allergies that a pill will not help, and being in a closed space can cause serious reactions. Which I doubt was his problem but does exist.
