Bebe Rexha claims she was victim of 'hate crime'

A sobbing Bebe Rexha has claimed she was banned from a flight after a security guard menaced her for speaking Albanian.

The American singer-songwriter tearfully revealed she was "threatened" by the staffer at Munich Airport.

"I've been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian. I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he's banning me from the flight," the 34-year-old captioned an Instagram video of herself crying.

After posting a second clip of herself crying in the airport to her Instagram Stories, Rexha continued, "I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian. He would not let me take his name. He continued to mentally abuse me to make me feel like he was more powerful than he was."

She continued, "Not one of the women at @Lufthansa stepped in or said something. He would not give me his name but I just found out he works for ATSG a service company document control hired by Lufthansa."

Rexha is best known for her recent collaboration with pop princess Kylie Minogue on My Oh My, the dance track that reached top spot in the UK on the Physical Singles and Singles Sales charts.
