‘I’ve Been Threatened’: Bebe Rexha Says She Was Subjected To ‘Hate Crime’ At Munich Airport For Speaking Albanian

by

As a fervent admirer of Bebe Rexha, I find myself deeply moved by her recent ordeal at Munich airport. The incident, as she described it, is nothing short of appalling and distressing. It’s disheartening to see such a vibrant, talented, and unapologetically authentic artist like Bebe, who has graced us with powerful vocals and impactful collaborations, face such an unjust situation.

34-year-old singer Bebe Rexha left her social media followers stunned when she shared about a distressing event that moved her to tears. On social media, she alleged that she experienced what seemed like a hate crime at the Munich airport.

On Saturday, August 17th, the singer shared on her Instagram stories that an incident happened when she spoke Albanian to a security officer, causing her to be barred and allegedly threatened from a Lufthansa flight at Munich Airport.

In a heart-wrenching tale of mine, Rexha captured herself inconsolably weeping, labeling her post as, “I’ve been menaced because I believed the airport agent was of Albanian origin.” Going a step further, I attempted to engage with him in Albanian, seeking guidance on how to procure my boarding pass. Regrettably, this interaction has led to me being barred from the flight.

In the upcoming tale, she wrote that she considered it a “bias-motivated incident,” given her Albanian heritage. The 34-year-old asserted, “He refused to let me adopt his surname. He persistently psychologically tormented me to instill in me a sense of his superiority over him.”

As a lifestyle aficionado, I recently encountered an intriguing situation while traveling with Lufthansa. Interestingly, none of the women I interacted with during my flight seemed to notice or comment on anything unusual. However, upon further inquiry, I discovered that one individual, whose identity remained undisclosed, was a part of ATSG – a service company that provides document control for Lufthansa.

For those not familiar, the artist known for “In The Name Of Love” is an American native, with ancestry tracing back to both Albania and North Macedonia. Her father was born in North Macedonia, her mother in the U.S., but she also has roots that lead to Albania.

According to Billboard, a Lufthansa spokesperson shared with TMZ that they have been communicating with the pop star to gather all the details. Furthermore, it was stated by Lufthansa that promoting diversity and equal opportunities is deeply ingrained in their corporate values.

In terms of her career highlights, she gained attention for her musical collaborations with Kylie Minogue and Tove Lo. Together, they produced a song called “Oh My Oh,” which came out in July, and its accompanying music video has just been released.

In addition, the song “I’m The Drama” from her recently titled album of the same name was dropped towards the end of June. This artist is recognized for her potent vocal abilities and her high-impact partnerships with David Guetta, Martin Garrix, and numerous others.

She’s an artist known for openly sharing aspects of her life and the entertainment industry, which resonates with many of her followers.
