Famous African American rapper Azealia Banks has accused Scandinavian Airlines alias SAS for racial profiling and assault, reported some Swedish media on August 27, 2019.


According to the reports, Azealia Banks (28) narrated about the incident on Instagram, saying it occurred during a SAS flight from Stockholm en route to Los Angeles, CA. She reportedly said she was racially profiled and physically assaulted by some members of the cabin crew. The latter are said to have accused her and her boyfriend of having had sex in the plane. The furious rapper also reportedly said Swedish people are definitely racists.


SAS does not deny occurrence of the incident. The airline has reportedly said the matter was reported to the FBI at Los Angeles when the plane landed.
