Kanye West Denies Aeroplane Argument: Rumor Busting

February 6th, 2010

Kanye West has taken to his blog, in a non-caps post, regarding recent reports that he “lashed out” at flight attendants on Monday (February 1) for not being seated in first class, a rumor he denies.

The rapper, who’s busy in the studio working on a new album, wrote the following on his official website:

“I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because ‘it’s on the internet.’

This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class. A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first.

There was absolutely no altercation in any way. There’s been many a time where I’ve given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less about where I sit on the plane.

It’s hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I’m not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry.

Have you ever been lied on??? How does it make you feel??? You wanna tell everybody it’s not true right?

Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it’s not the trend right now! I’m sleeping in the studio and I won’t let you guys down!”
