Azealia Banks claims she was racially profiled and assaulted while on a flight leaving Stockholm Sweden.
Banks posted video of the chaos, where she claims a woman accused Banks of having sex with her boyfriend during the flight.
The rapper can be heard screaming, "this white lady right here thinks that me and my boyfriend were having sex on the plane."

During the video, Banks believes she was physically hit by one of the women engaged in the argument, and she screams out, "ohhhh you just hit me!"
The woman replied, "No I didn't!" which is rebutted by AB shouting, "yes you did ... this lady just hit me on the f--king flight."
Banks then posted a message to the airline, "Hello SAS, I was just racially profiled and assaulted by your crew on a flight back to LA from Stockholm. Please contact me or my team ASAP."
Even though Banks is adamant she was an innocent victim, the airline seems to have a different story.
A rep for Scandinavian Airlines tells The Blast, "We can confirm that there was an incident on the flight to Los Angeles from Arlanda. A passenger’s behavior toward other passengers and flight staff caused the legal authorities to be contacted, and they were present when the aircraft landed in Los Angeles. We cannot provide any further information surrounding our passengers onboard."
It's unclear if Banks found herself in any legal trouble upon landing, but we've reached out to the proper authorities.
The controversial musician has had her fair share of run-ins and beefs over the years, like when she got kicked out of Russell Crowe's dinner party.
She's also recently been in a heated war with Cardi B after claiming the "Bodak Yellow" rapper stole her look and made it "cheap and dirty."
