Singer Bebe Rexha has said she was threatened and “mentally abused” by an airport worker for being Albanian.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old posted a tearful video on Instagram, with the caption: “I’ve been threatened because I thought the security agent was Albanian.<\/p>\n

“I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight.”<\/p>\n

It’s not known whether the US-born star, whose family has Albanian heritage, was allowed to board the flight from Munich airport.<\/p>\n

In Saturday’s post to her 12 million followers, she said she thought the incident was a “hate crime” due to her ethnicity.<\/p>\n

Rexha claimed the male staff member refused to give his name and “continued to mentally abuse me” and that female staff didn’t intervene.<\/p>\n

The star, who’s worked with the likes of Rita Ora and Louis Tomlinson and had a UK number one with David Guetta with I’m Good (Blue), said she believed the man works for a company that provides services for Lufthansa.<\/p>\n

The German airline said it was trying to “understand the situation” and does not “tolerate discriminatory behaviour of any kind”.<\/p>\n

“We reached out to Bebe Rexha and are in direct contact with her to understand the situation,” said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n

“As an international airline, we connect people and countries around the globe. Our guests and employees come from all over the world,” the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

“Diversity and equal opportunity are core values for our company and our corporate culture.<\/p>\n

“We do not tolerate any discriminatory behaviour of any kind.”<\/p>\n

Rexha later confirmed she had been contacted by Lufthansa and urged them to fully investigate.<\/p>\n

As well as her own hits – which include four top 10 singles in the UK – the singer has written for stars including Selena Gomez and Eminem.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
