Bebe Rexha says she was the victim of a hate crime after she was banned from flying with a German airline because she spoke Albanian

Pop singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha claimed she was the victim of a hate crime after she was denied entry to a Lufthansa flight to Munich because she spoke Albanian to a security guard.

“I was threatened because I thought the security guard was Albanian,” the singer wrote tearfully in the videos she posted on her Instagram story on Saturday. “I spoke to him in Albanian and asked where I could get my ticket and now he is banning me from boarding the flight.”

The dance/R&B musician, who has worked with Doja Cat, David Guetta, Eminem and Florida Georgia Line, is of North Macedonian and Albanian descent.

“I believe this is a hate crime because I am Albanian,” she wrote in a second story post that has since expired.[The supervisor] did not let me take his name. He continued to abuse me psychologically to make me feel that he was more powerful than [sic] that was him. None of the women at @Lufthansa intervened or said anything.”

In a later update, the “I'm Good” singer said the airline had contacted her about the incident.

“I have never been so emotionally drained. @Lufthansa has sent me a direct message, but I urge them to conduct a full investigation to find out who this man is who abused his power. An 'I'm sorry' will not be enough this time,” she wrote.

In a final message shared on Sunday, Rexha said she had arrived home. “Thank you to everyone who has written and expressed concern. I made it home safely, thank God.”

In statements to Entertainment Weekly and CNN, the airline said it was conducting an “internal investigation” into the matter.
