    Kanye West denies airplane tantrum report

    (ANI)


    London, Feb 8 : Rapper Kanye West has denied a report that he threw a tantrum after he was seated in the business class on a recent flight.

    West, 32, was reported to have flown into a rage after he and his assistant were refused luxury first class seats and forced into business class while flying from Los Angeles to New York on February 1.

    The singer maintains that there is no truth to the report and has written so on his official blog.

    "I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because 'it's on the internet'," the Daily Star quoted him as writing.

    "This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class.

    "A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first. There was absolutely no altercation in any way.

    "There's been many a time where I've given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less (sic) about where I sit on the plane.

    "It's hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I'm not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry.

    "Have you ever been lied (about)??? How does it make you feel??? You wanna tell everybody it's not true right?

    "Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it's not the trend right now! I'm sleeping in the studio and I won't let you guys down!" he ended his message.
