Black Eyed Peas rapper and producer will.i.am took to Twitter to vent his frustrations at United Airlines for booting him out of their airport lounge for not being a Mileage Plus member. When the "Scream & Shout" rapper showed staff his membership card, they claimed it was fake and proceeded to escort him out of the lounge to wait with the regular flyers, leading the BEP front man to tweet-blast the airline.
United Airlines has since responded:
"We invite only customers travelling in United Global First, customers with Global Services status traveling in United Business First, and customers traveling in first class on other Star Alliance carriers to visit our Global First Lounges. Since the customer did not meet these criteria he did not have access to the lounge. We are reaching out to the customer and appreciate his business."
Was will.i.am hoping to use his celebrity status to gain access to the first class lounge without membership? Sound off below, and peep the frustrated tweets above.
