Meek Mill accuses flight crew of 'acting real racist' after being asked about weed

Meek Mill said that the flight crew member asked him and his entourage if they were smoking weed immediately after they boarded a private jet

Meek Mill, a 34-year-old “Hot” artist, has accused a flight crew member of racism. The rapper, born Robert Williams, accused the crew member of “acting real racist” after he and his entourage were asked if they were smoking weed immediately after they boarded a private jet. 

Mill posted the interaction, which he filmed, on social media, where the crew member can be seen asking if their group was smoking on the plane, even though they had boarded just “30 seconds ago”. “So you just said we was smoking on a plane, we just came on here 30 seconds ago,” the Philadelphia native said to the crew member, who responded saying he smelled marijuana. “But where are we going to smoke at if we just stepped on here 30 seconds ago?" Mill said, adding, "Like, where would a blunt be rolled up at if we just sat here?"

“I’m sorry, I’m going to try and fix this problem,” the attendant said. Mill demanded that he and his group be allowed of get off the jet. “Let us get off this plane, because I don’t feel safe on this plane anyway. C’mon, let’s open the door,” Meek said. “You acting real racist right now, like, real crazy. Was we smoking weed? F–k wrong with you?”

“He asked was we smoking weed on his plane… We just got on 20 seconds ago … racist pu–y slowed my whole day up??? I need to book a plane in NYC ASAP!!! His energy from when we walked up I knew he racist! Just look what company is this jet under," Mill said in the video clip. The incident angered social media users, with many of them supporting the “Dreams and Nightmares” artist.

"@MeekMill was 100% right to get off tht plane!! No smoke in the air and it's not old guys business wht they doing before they get on....," one user wrote on Twitter. "@MeekMill I HOPE THAT DUDE THAT ACCUSED U IF SMOKIN ON THE PLANE GOT FIRED," another user wrote. 

Some social media users, however, did not seem to support Mill and accused him of exaggerating the incident, with one writing, "How about you just answer the question and then STFU - like MOST people would do? Stop with this racist crap. Sick of it." Another user wrote, " Just saw your video on the plane. 1) It takes less than 5 seconds to light up a blunt. 2) You could have had it rolled before getting on the plane.3) You could have smoked b4 hand. 4)You are chasing attention by playing the race card.5)you embarrassed yourself, and burned urself 6)u got off the plane becuz u were trafficking drugs and knew they were going to search you once you landed so you got off.
