Bebe Rexha has claimed that she was “threatened” and banned from a flight in what she has described as a “hate crime”.The singer posted a video to her Instagram Story on Saturday (August 17) from Munich Airport, claiming that a security guard had told her she could not board her Lufthansa flight.In a very tearful state, Rexha said: “I’ve been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian.

I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight.”“I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian,” she continued in a following post. “He would not let me take his name.

He continued to mentally abuse me to make me feel like he was more powerful than he was.”“Not one of the women at @Lufthansa stepped in or said something.

He would not give me his name. But I just found out he works for ATSG a service company document control hired by Lufthansa.”Rexha is of Albanian and North Macedonian descent; her mother has Albanian roots and was born in the US, while her father was born in North Macedonia and moved to the US aged 21.In July, Rexha kicked a crowd member out of her show for trying to throw an object at her during a performance. “If you hit me with something on stage I’ll take you for everything you’ve fucking done,” she said.“Do not fucking play with me right now.
