Lil Pump has been banned from flying with a US airline after refusing to wear a face mask during a flight, it's claimed.
The rapper, 20, was on a JetBlue flight from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles on Saturday when he reportedly "became verbally abusive" to members of the cabin crew and took off his face mask before refusing to put it back on when asked.
JetBlue allegedly called in to LAX Airport to tell them to have police on standby but Lil Pump was not arrested when the flight landed, according to TMZ.
The site claims that Lil Pump refused to comply with JetBlue's mask policy, and later said he was sneezing and coughing into a blanket without his mask.
He's later said to have complied and wore his mask, but when the flight landed he criticised the airline on social media.
In a now deleted Instagram video, Lil Pump said: "F**k JetBlue. F**k everyone that's working there!"
Lil Pump, who is also known as Gazzy Garcia, added: "All 2020, 2021, I ain't wearing no mask.
"I ain't gotta wear no f**king mask, bitch, corona's fake."
The Mirror has contacted Lil Pump's reps for comment.
JetBlue's policy requires all passengers aged two and older to wear a face covering throughout the flight.
A JetBlue representative told USA TODAY that Lil Pump "became verbally abusive with crew members after being asked multiple times and refusing to comply with JetBlue's face covering policy," which resulted in law enforcement involvement.
The representative added: "His return reservation was cancelled and he is no longer welcome to fly on JetBlue.
"The safety of all customers and crew members is JetBlue's first priority."
Back in November Lil Pump shared his support for outgoing US President Donald Trump in the election and slammed Joe Biden.
In a video posted on Instagram, he said: ""F**k Sleepy Joe, Trump 2020 bitch."
He also appeared at Trump's rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 2, during which the President mistakenly called him 'Lil Pimp'.
