Singer Jason DeRulo has said that he was racially targeted on Wednesday after one of his friends was not allowed to board a flight with 19 pieces of luggage under one ticket. TMZ.com reports that Jason and his friends all arrived to board a flight from Los Angeles, but since he arrived late, he wasn’t allowed to check in any luggage.
So instead they made one person stay back for a later flight, but when that person tried checking in all the luggage, he was told he’d have to pay a fine of $6,000 for extra baggage. Jason then reportedly demanded to be let down from his own plane, and when the pilot finally let him off, he was confronted by police. While the aftermath of the situation has not yet been reported, the airline told TMZ that they were just following protocol.
