The 34-year-old shared a heartfelt video to Instagram along with the statement, “I was afraid that the security guard was Albanian.
He’s barring me from the flight after I asked him where to acquire my ticket in Albanian.”
The American celebrity, whose family is of Albanian descent, may or may not have been permitted to board the flight from Munich airport.
She stated that she believed the incident to be a “hate crime” because of her race in a message on Saturday to her 12 million followers.
Rexha stated that the female employee “continued to mentally abuse me” and that the male employee refused to reveal his identity.
The celebrity, who has collaborated with Rita Ora and Louis Tomlinson and co-won a UK number one song with David Guetta called “I’m Good (Blue),” stated she thought the man was employed by a business that supplied services to Lufthansa.
The German airline stated that it does not “tolerate discriminatory behavior of any kind” and that it was attempting to “understand the situation.”
“We reached out to Bebe Rexha and are in direct contact with her to understand the situation,” stated a spokeswoman.
