Azealia Banks gets into arguments on a daily basis, but today it was a bit different -- it didn't actually take place on Twitter. Yes, Banks had an IRL altercation with a flight attendant today, and there's video evidence of the incident.

An eyewitness from the plane claims that Azealia tried to make a run for the door just as the plane her plane landed In L.A. this morning, attempting to bypass a French couple in the process. This report then states that when the man put his hand out to stop her as they were unloading their luggage, Banks spit at him, hit him, and clawed at his shirt.

Banks on the other hand, says the man actually hit her in the face. "I don't tolerate bitchassness and I don't tolerate men putting their hands on me," she said later on. The eyewitness has since disputed her claim.

The video takes place after all of this, when a flight attendant grabs her bag and the two fight over it as she curses at him, eventually calling him a "fucking f-----t". 

Banks defended her use of the slur on Twitter, as well as her choice to fight back in the situation, saying "Black women in America are starting to love themselves so fucking loudly, and people can not fucking take it."
