Azealia Banks slams Irish airlines, claims she was 'banned' from flight

Singer Azealia Banks has claimed she has been barred from Ireland's Aer Lingus flights after disembarking from a plane to Dublin.

The singer disembarked the Aer Lingus flight from London's Gatwick Airport to Dublin - where she is due to perform on Tuesday and then accused the airline of banning her from flying with them ever again.

The 27-year-old singer took to social media to describe her "travel day from hell".

"The lady is like... asking me some questions," she said tearfully, referring to a staff member.

"And since I didn't have an answer for her, she went a couple of seats over and she's just like staring at me. She goes to the captain of the plane and lies and says that I said; 'Oh don't stare at me, I'll sort you out'. I'm from New York City, I don't say s**t like that, I don't use that kind of slang," Baks said.

According to the singer, she attempted to look for her passport when she could not answer the air steward's questions.

"Every time I come to the UK, they always make some s**t with these airline people. They are always starting s*** with me. I had my bags deep in the plane and the lady was asking me some questions. They crowded round me like I'm some sort of animal saying, "we're going to have a problem".'
