Azealia Banks got into a scuffle with a French couple early Tuesday morning on a Delta Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles.

Witnesses told TMZ that after the plane landed, Banks hurried toward the exit but was blocked by the couple, who was removing their luggage from the overhead bin. At one point, the rapper is said to have "spit in the man's face" and tried to hit him.

When confronted by a flight attendant, who took her bag and asked her to calm down, Banks became enraged and called him a "fucking f-ggot." This part of the incident was caught on video.

For her part, Banks took to Twitter this morning claiming she was "hit in the face by a man and no one cares. The only hear what I called the man who was blocking my exit," she wrote. "I'm gonna get my gun license cause this is just ridiculous. Yall n-ggas think I'm playing."
