Passengers aboard a Delta flight from New York City to Los Angeles caught video of rapper Azealia Banks swearing and yelling at a male flight attendant shortly after the plane landed at LAX. While trying to exit the plane, Banks reportedly got into a fight with another passenger, spitting at a man who was trying to get his luggage out of the overhead bin (she later tweeted the man had hit her in the face).
