"I've been threatened because I thought the security guard was Albanian," Bebe said over the post. "I spoke to him in Albanian asking where to get my ticket and now he is banning me from the flight."

In a follow-up note, the singer said, "I believe this to be a hate crime because I am Albanian."

Bebe Rexha shares a statement accusing a Lufthansa employee of hate crime and mental abuse, and states the individual works for ATSG, a service company hired by Lufthansa

"He would not let me take his name," she continued. "He continued to mentally abuse me to make me feel like he was more powerful [than] he was."

Bebe also claimed that no one else from the airline intervened. Then she reposted a fan message asking the carrier to "please" make sure she made it home safely and requesting the Munich International Airport investigate the person in question.
