Soulja Boy Gets Kicked Off An American Airlines Flight

Soulja Boy may have soared for a while with his Superman-themed chart topper "Crank That," but the rapper was grounded by American Airlines on Friday after causing a big scene ahead of his scheduled flight.

The 23-year-old musician, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, became disrespectful with flight attendants when asked to sit down, according to TMZ, and was eventually forced off the plane.

Though it's unclear why, the rapper apparently chose to disregard instructions and remained standing when everyone was asked to fasten seat belts.

Similar to actor Alec Baldwin, who also was booted from an American Airlines flight in 2011 for refusing to turn off his cellphone game of Words with Friends, Soulja Boy was reportedly given more than one warning before being carted off by security.

"It was a bad night and me and the flight staff didn't see eye to eye," the rapper later said in a statement to TMZ.

"In hindsight, I'm extremely sorry for all inconvenience caused to the passengers and employees of the airline."
