A shocking meltdown aboard an American Airlines flight from Charlotte to Denver saw a self-described “millionaire” passenger unleash a profanity-laced tirade, berating crew and fellow travelers, making wild threats, and throwing around boasts about his wealth and connections. I’ll recommend my solution for these sorts of passengers below…
Rampaging Millionaire Passenger Threatens To “Surround Plane With 100 People” On American Airlines
Facing a flight delay, the unidentified man erupted, demanding a phone charger, alcohol, a refund, and even the chance to sit in the cockpit. He claimed to earn over $1 million a year, threatened crew and passengers alike, and repeatedly referenced his supposed status and power. Eventually, American Airlines removed him before takeoff. Here are his most outrageous quotes:
- “Shut up, you make less than me.”
- “Call the police. I’ll f**k them up.”
- “I expected better from you. I said you have beautiful eyes.”
- “I’m not shutting up till staff help me get my charger – I need it for my million‑dollar business.”
- “I’ll talk to the police, I’ll talk to whoever … we’ll make a deal.”
- “I’m a lawyer. I’ll f**k ya’ll up.”
- “I make over $1 million a year…you won’t talk to me like that.”
- “I threaten to surround this plane with 100 people.”
- “I offered $100 to sit in the cockpit.”
- “I was shooting something with Kodak Black.”
And here are NSFW videos if you care to see them:

How To Handle Passengers Like This?
Listening to this man’s filthy tirade, I can’t help but wish another passenger onboard had decked him so hard that it knocked him out…
Yeah, I mean that.
But I also realize that violence is not the answer, even to nasty jerks. The better way to handle this would have been to zip tie the man’s hands to his seat, then put duct tape over his mouth to ensure that he could not talk…we’ve seen that before…

I suspect his man was heavily intoxicated from weed, alcohol, or both.
If he were my employee, he’d be fired immediately…that lack of self-control shows that he cannot be trusted with practicing law. The man has not been identified yet, but I hope that if he is indeed a licensed attorney, the state bar will take disciplinary action against him.
CONCLUSION
This wasn’t a misheard complaint — it was a full-blown power trip aired at 30,000 feet. The passenger’s entitlement and aggression crossed every line of civility and safety. American Airlines did the right thing by removing him before departure. But for those onboard, and for everyone who hears about this, it’s a stark reminder: privilege doesn’t give you rights over a plane or its people.
Hat Tip: View From The Wing
Things this guy needs a bra, a diet , a muzzle and an attitude adjustment.
All that and the guy wasn’t even flying domestic first…
Lawyer? Not likely. This is Raleigh NC based rapper Lil Nate. Insta-lilnate919
He’s a white rapper?
Apparently. According to his Instagram he’s also the CEO of something called Hustlers Intuition Ent. And, to quote his deeply profound bio: “u gon feel my pain” …whatever that means.
Weed doesn’t do this, Matthew.
Cannabis is rarely associated with belligerence.
Alcohol definitely
Meth or another form of stimulant maybe
If he had an edible he probably would have slept it off or been chill.
You should try it sometime since you have been clearly misled by government propaganda.
Exactly. Tell me you’ve never smoked weed without telling me you’ve never smoked weed.
The AP is reporting that he has now been appointed as the Secretary of the Interior.
More like Secretary of the Inferior
Very good. ; )
This man needs to be name, city, work place identified and go viral. The rest will take care of itself once identified. Some people learn best when their wallet, lifestyle, and career are affected.
He’s the embodiment of a DYKWIA on flyertalk.
I don’t understand how people act this entitled. I’m grateful every time I fly and don’t take it for granted, even though I log over 250k BIS miles per year.
Absolutely agree. I haven’t been anywhere near “that” website for more than a decade, because it’s Douchetown central.
I just want to see the video of him being dragged off rhe plane by the police, please.
there are three ways a person’s true character is revealed. money. anger alcohol
sorry dude but if I were in charge you would have to be flying on your own private plane
because at the speed of light I would place you on the no fly list
He’d be well advised to spend some of his “millions” on Mounjaro or Wegivy prescriptions, because he’s a big fat pig. Then he should turn his attention to some plastic surgery, because he’s as ugly as a hat-full of assholes. Alcohol rehab would also seem to be in order.
Next stop is a coldplay concert!
He might make more money than must of Americans but that act and manners and his low low ethics belongs to outside of America. I bet He belongs to some political groups making spot light now a days but He is Very Un American and rather he is a one of too many America’s Shame and quite frankly, Trump should strip his American citizenship for acting out like that and honor some hard working illegal Americans for his position in society.
First of all, people who are millionaires do not go around talking about it. This guy is obviously a loser in some sort of way.
Confusing conclusion, said it happened at 30,000 feet, but, then said “American Airlines did the right thing by removing him before departure” Which was it?
Also, in reference to the “weed” comment. People only on weed may not exhibit this behavior, but someone who has been drinking and took a weed gummy could definitely be belligerent, Because weed can exacerbate the alcohol or perhaps another drug he was on.
Sounds like this idiot was modeling himself on Criminal Trump.
If this guy was so important and makes so much money why is he flying commercial? He should be over at the FBO boarding his private jet. Giving him a permanent ban on the airline should cool his rockets.
