‘Love And Hip Hop’ Cast News: The Source Founder Benzino Plays Race Card, Gets Kicked Off Plane [Video]
What happens in Vegas apparently doesn't stay in Vegas -- actually, it ends up in the news.
Just days after the "Fatburger" blowout between Atlanta rapper T.I. and undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mayweather's friend Benzino got into a blowout of his own.
TMZ reports that things got heated between the "Love and Hip Hop" star and a flight attendant during a stopover in Chicago on Benzino's flight from Sin City to Atlanta.
Though the exact reason behind the nasty argument still remains a mystery, eyewitnesses from TMZ claim that the fight erupted soon after the flight attendant questioned the 49-year-old hip-hop media executive.
Benzino was caught on camera dropping a slew of F-Bomb saying, "You're an idiot, you're a F----- idiot...racist b-----."
What's most interesting is Benzino can also be heard saying, "Everybody on the plane said it wasn't our fault." He then continues with, "I want names, I want everyone's name because we're suing."
So with the bit of evidence we have from Benzino yelling and the video footage, it's safe to say that something inappropriate happened on the plane, and Benzino was blamed for the incident.
Benzino pulling the race card and calling the flight attendant racist may be a heat-of-the-moment rant or may indeed have something to do with what went down and ultimately led him to get kicked off the plane.
TMZ claims that they called both Benzino and the airline and neither has yet to return their call.
