Jason Derulo was ‘flying solo’ after his crew was kicked of a Southwest Airlines flight Saturday.
TMZ first reported the singer and his bodyguard got into a verbal altercation with a Southwest Airlines employee, resulting in his crew being kicked off of a flight from Reno, Nev. to Los Angeles, according to a source close to Derulo.
“His team requested an escort and were denied and they believed they were being treated unfairly,” the source told People Magazine. “When they voiced their concerns to the airline they were told they could not fly and proceeded on the plane anyway. At that point the Southwest agent called the authorities and removed them.”
Although Derulo himself was still permitted on the flight, he opted not to fly with the airline after the altercation. A spokesperson for Southwest told People, “According to our employees, the group refused to follow boarding procedures. Initial reports indicate that several customers complained about the group’s behavior. Our crew, responsible for the safety and comfort of all customers on board, attempted to diffuse the situation; ultimately, local authorities were called and the decision was made to deny boarding to the group.” The spokesperson added that the group sought alternate transportation and their tickets were refunded.
Derulo fired back with a video on his Instagram when he said, “I had to fire my travel agent for booking me somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be. But now we’re here, we’re good.” The singers friend added, “They can’t kick me off of this!”
