“Not Accurate”: American Airlines Debunks Tyler, The Creator’s ‘No Fly List’ Claim

Leave a comment

Whether he’s bringing LGBTQ narratives to Hip-Hop through his music videos or changing the game altogether with his Camp Flog Gnaw festival, Tyler, The Creator definitely knows how to get his names in headlines. However, his latest attention-grabbing act may have went a little overboard and been a complete fabrication to begin with.



Earlier today, Tyler went on Twitter (seen above) and announced that he was on American Airlines’ “no fly terrorist list,” even following up to ask the question “WHAT THE HELL DID I DO” in all caps. However, as we all know the eclectic rapper can be the ultimate troll at times, his tweet may have been one big joke simply to get his followers riled up. American Airlines first replied soon after he posted with the following:

Afterwards, the long-running airline company headed over to The FADER to make a full statement on the whole ordeal. Take a look below to read what they had to say officially:

“American does not have a terrorism watch list. That list is controlled by the FBI,” a spokesperson said. “But since Tyler, The Creator, is flying with us today and is currently on one of our flights, the tweet is not accurate.”

While we understand that Tyler is the absolute jokester — we love the guy for that! — terrorist jokes in reference to airlines probably should be left on the cutting room floor, especially when the 18th anniversary of 9/11 occurred just a few weeks ago.

Funny or fail? Let us know your thoughts on this Tyler, The Creator/American Airlines ordeal over on our Facebook and Twitter!

Wale to American Airlines on Twitter: ‘Y’all racist’

Leave a comment

Wale just released a new project in Free Lunch, and while he should be enjoying the victory of his third great EP this year, instead he has to deal with American Airlines and racial discrimination.

Folarin hit Instagram and put the spotlight on AA stating that he is continuously experiencing issues with flights, being stuck on a runway for the fifth time in two weeks. Beyond that, Wale stated he was told: “ur not supposed to be in first class I’m calling the police.”

Wale would even let American Airlines and fans who observed via the timeline the names of the two employees, Megumi and Don, who mentioned the first class placement.

“Y’all racist and I wanna know what happens now,” Wale typed.

Check out the tweet from Wale below. After five flight issues in ten days, it may be time to move on from American Airlines and hit up Southwest or Delta.
