Bebe Rexha believes she was the victim of a hate crime, discriminated against for her ethnicity.
The popstar shared a series of emotional videos on her Instagram story Saturday, documenting the incident that took place at Munich International Airport.
“The supervisor on the flight of Lufthansa is threatening me,” she said tearfully to the camera, makeup smudged underneath her eyes.

Tagging the German airline directly, Rexha wrote to her story, “@Lufthansa I’ve been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian. I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight.”
“I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian,” Rexha claimed in a written statement. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Rexha’s family is of Albanian descent.
“He would not let me take his name. He continued to mentally abuse me to make me feel like he was more powerful [than] he was.”

“I have never been so emotionally drained,” the “I’m Good” singer wrote in an additional story. “@Lufthansa has direct messaged me but I urge them to do a full investigation on finding out who this man who was abusing his power is. An ‘I’m sorry’ is not gonna cut it this time.”
Fox News Digital has learned that Rexha did board her flight.
A company spokesperson for Lufthansa told Fox News Digital, “We directly contacted Bebe Rexha yesterday to understand the situation and are conducting an internal review on the matter.”
“As an international airline, we connect people and countries around the globe. Our guests and employees come from all over the world. Diversity and equal opportunity are core values for our company and our corporate culture. We do not tolerate any discriminatory behavior of any kind.”
A representative for Rexha did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for comment.
