Not sure where the new music is that Desiigner claimed he’d be dropping in the Summer, but the “Panda” rapper is making headlines more these days for his personal drama than his music. On Monday night, he was kicked off a plane in Europe after a flight attendant allegedly put her hands on him. TMZ reports , The NYC rapper posted a series of videos Tuesday explaining a run-in he had on Scandinavian Airlines Monday night, where he says an older female flight attendant got touchy with him — which caused him to “spazz” out on her and get booted from the flight. He also says he was banned from SAS for a whole year, and goes on to call on his fans to avoid flying with them in the aftermath. Desiigner basically chalks it up to flying while black. The airline has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident, but they did tell TMZ that “some passengers behaved in a threatening manner toward the crew” and that “such behavior is unacceptable and that safety is their first priority.” Do you think the incident was race related?

SEE ALSO: Texas Cop Shoots Unarmed Black Man For Entering His Own Truck On September 21, Alexander was attacked by her ex, Nathaniel Mitchell, 34, at her home in Grand Prairie. Dallas News reports, “Mitchell, who took Alexander to the hospital, gave staff a story they found to be inconsistent with her injuries, officer Mark Beseda said. Officers interviewed Mitchell and arrested him at the hospital on outstanding warrants.” She had severe head injuries and passed away three days later.

Alexander told the Dallas News about the Anger Room, “I always wanted to be able to relate to what people are angry about. Most people have stress from work or home-related issues.” She was also an advocate against domestic violence. Her friend, Delores Hodge, said about Alexander, “For it to be that she expired the same way for something that she was advocating against.

Kim Kardashian Reacts To Kanye’s Latest Rants While Kanye West has been doing everything under the sun OTHER than releasing music in a timely fashion…Kim Kardashian has remained largely mum on his conflated political ideals and conflicting fashion choices. While Kanye has been out here ranting and raving on behalf of “his boy” Trumpito and his sudden new thoughts on what should be done about the 13th Amendment …Kim has been minding her own business and staying out of it. But now, somewhat predictably, Kim is backing up Kanye’s kookiness while at the same time saying “don’t lump me in with that isht, though” — in so many words. As a source close to the Kardashian clan told E! Online : “They definitely have their issues, but Kim always defends Kanye publicly and tries to be supportive. She believes Kanye is entitled to his opinion and can express it freely. She may not always agree with him, but she still feels he’s allowed to believe what he wants.” This is who he is and she knew that when she married him. He’s always been controversial and can ruffle feathers. Kim’s not surprised in the least bit. Kanye loves to speak his mind and that’s not going to change. Whether or not Kim shares the same beliefs, she knows she’s never going to stop Kanye from expressing himself.” It’s pretty clear that Kim has her hands full enough with Kanye at home having heated arguments over IG posting times and band-aid colors . Looks like she’s not devoting too much additional energy into her husband’s current career-tarnishing shenanigans. Sounds like she’s pretty much prepared to deal with this BS out of him every few months, and largely ignores it all until it blows over . What do you think? As a wife to a man like ‘Ye, is Kim right to just let him rock out in his ridiculousness or should she be stepping in to try to get him grounded to the best of her ability? Splash
