LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper Blueface is facing wide criticism for forcing a private jet pilot to land early so that he could grab a burger from McDonald's. The 26-year-old rapper, whose original name is Johnathan Jamall Porter, paid an extra $10,000 to turn the plane.
The incident happened on November 27 when he and his fiancée, Jordyn Alexis, traveled on a private jet from Atlanta to Los Angeles.
The 'Thotiana' rapper shared his video of pleading to the pilot on his Instagram Story.
Blueface's hunger caused expensive detour
In the two-minute video, Bluefacing says, "Bruh, I'm hungry. Aye, tell the pilot to stop and get me a burger real quick, bro." His colleague frustratedly reminded him they were on the way to LA and that the detour would cost an additional $10,000.
"Turn around? The f**k we gonna turn around for?" Blueface questioned and asked to just land instead of taking a detour. "Tell him to land this muthaf**ka right here in Atlanta, bro. I'm gonna get a burger real quick, bro."
Blueface did make the jet land. In a follow-up video, he was seen returning with the McDonald's order.
"This McDonald's right here cost me $10,000 just for this little burger," he said, carrying the burger and large fries. "I'm a Schoolyard Crip, I'm really him. Dead homies, $10,000 just for a burger. It's a combo though, you know," he added.
Blueface became famous after his 2018 music video 'Respect My Cryppin' featuring Snoop Dogg went viral due to his offbeat rapping style.
