Rapper Gillie Da King was denied boarding in Madrid in what became a shouting match over what time he checked-in. At this point, it is not clear who is at fault, but the rapper claims that American Airlines gave his seats away on an oversold flight even though he showed up on time.
Rapper Gillie Da King Denied Boarding On American Airlines…Blames Racial Animus
You may recall that last year King was stopped on the jet bridge while boarding an American Airlines flight by a Texas Ranger who wanted to search his bag for marijuana. King claimed he was racially profiled because the white passengers boarding before him and after him were not stopped, but the police officer indicated it was because he smelled like weed.

This time, upon checking in at Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD) for his trip to Philadelphia (PHL), King was told that his seats had been given away. He was told that he had checked in too late. In Madrid, the check-in cutoff is 75 minutes, not the usual 60 minutes. King claimed he was not late to check-in and took to Instagram to complain (warning NSFW):

He points out his Executive Platinum status on American Airlines and his video starts out reasonable enough, but takes a dangerous turn when he starts hurling the F-bomb and threatening American Airlines. In a caption for the video, he attributed the denied boarding to racial animus against back people:
@americanair I don’t have to say anything because this says enough we paid four first class flights they oversold the plane and tried to give us buddy passes 🤦🏾♂️ and they threatened to call the cops cause he said something to us that wasn’t. True 💯 This is a perfect example of what being black will get u @americanair let’s not forget I’m an Executive Platinum Member.
Later, he posted another video confronting an American Airlines agent in Madrid, who contends he checked in late. King and his party push back, claiming they were at the airport before the 11:30 am check-in cutoff. The tone directed toward the agent is not helpful, but the agent also does not help himself by continually threatening to call the police.

It is not clear to me at this point who is at fault nor is clear how King and his party was re-accommodated, if at all.
CONCLUSION
Rapper Gillie Da King, who claims to fly American Airlines three times per week, had another airport incident. This time, he was denied boarding, ostensibly for missing the strict check-in cutoff in Madrid. While his check-in time remains an unresolved fact, he is blaming the incident on skin color.

I don’t want to be there when he finds out Concierge Key exists ‘higher’ than EXP. He’ll be really confused.
The dramatic pauses are entertaining, and whoa that takes a sinister turn at the end with the mood swing.
He needs to check in earlier. If he likes to show up just before a flight, a private jet allows that.
Many years ago, I used to cut it close regularly but now there are too many sources of delay that one cannot count on everything going according to plan.
As far as being suspected of being a drug dealer, deal with it. Police do suspect men more than women. Cannot change that except the worst abuses can be curbed
Rather than simply assuming it was his skin color (which it certainly may have been), maybe the more likely explanation is that he smelled like a skunk.
That said, I wish the police had better things to do with their time.
I fly AA out of MAD all the time. I’m not sure why he doesn’t just check in using the app. I’ve never once approached a counter in MAD. I’m also impressed he booked F. It must have been a one time exception where they flew the 773 over there 😉
LOL.
It’s a messy situation but from a fellow brother, I don’t understand why you can’t get there earlier. I’m also black but this situation has never happened to me because I always get to the airport at least three hours before an international flight. Sure, it’s rough to wait it out in the airport, but better to eventually get on a plane rather than miss your flight.
These damn “back” people are always causing problems!
What is a “hack” person? Is that code for something?
From the story above…..” In a caption for the video, he attributed the denied boarding to racial animus against back people”
Nothing implied.
Ah, I keep forgetting you don’t imply you’re a racist…you’re just one outright.
And I keep forgetting you were “born” with a defect that is against human survival with your love (or addiction) ) to c##k. Face it, you are not a normal human being and it drives you crazy, just like c##k.
Should we start on the current crime situation that is only getting worse in America and what group is mostly responsible? Or is that “racist” to you as well? I suggest you take your head (and c##k) out of someone’s ass and look around. I know, “we” are responsible because they certainly can’t be responsible for their actions.
For the most part I’ve tried to ignore you and your garbage on here. But damn, you make it so easy to show what a freak you are. Now go s##k that partner of yours off and then get the taste out of your mouth with a nice Mimosa.
So you’re not just a racist, but a homophobe as well. Good to be reminded of that.
Thanks for nothing but BS, hate and stupidity Aaron.
One poster on here literally spewing out hatred for black and queer people, and I’m the one being hateful? If there is any stupidity here, it isn’t from my end.
People like him are stuck with an oppression delusion for life because people enabled it at a young age.
Nah, I just call out hateful bs when I see it.
Try not to be too late for your Klan meeting with cairns and Dave.
You prove my point.
You’re delusional.
Nah. But you’re definitely a hateful person.
I’m black you moron.
A self-hating one, apparently.
When are these “black folks” going to realize that they have worn their “race card” out.
Let him board, his peers have to beat some Asians to vent out his anger
I have no use for C-rappers…
