    Mykki Blanco, real name Michael Quattlebaum Jr,  was taking a flight on board a Delta Airlines flight from Toronto to Detroit when the man in the next seat had the police called. According to Mykki, the passenger said he was “not comfortable” and didn’t know how Delta allowed someone like Mykki to board the plane and sit next to him.

    When questioned by the police, Mykki said a police officer told him that an FBI report would be made about the “interaction” between the entertainer and the other passenger. Mykki refutes that any interaction happened and insists ” I slept through the entire flight”

    Mykki hopes the Delta cabin crew would be able to back up the statement about being asleep during the flight.

    According to the entertainer’s own report, the police told Mykki that he would “go to jail” if he continued to ask why the police were giving preferential to the man who made the report.

    Mykki has said that this was the most “bizarre” form of homophobia the artist has ever experienced.

    A Delta customer service rep was quick to respond on Twitter saying, that they couldn’t believe their eyes and that they were “sorry” for the experience. They said that “discrimination of any kind” was not tolerated onboard their flights and that they “Love” all their passengers.

    THEGAYUK has reached out to Delta for comment.

    The musician slammed the video platform for what he called a “homophobic double standard” when his video for “Loner” was apparently removed and then reinstated, but censored with users having to sign in to confirm their age, after YouTube said the video breached their community guidelines.

    The star took to Twitter to slam the Google-owned platform,

    The problem seemed to lie in the fact that someone at YouTube thought the video contained a real life man’s scrotum, which was actually a man’s knee. Heaven forbid!

    The video was later reinstated by YouTube, but now viewers must sign in to view the video. Speaking to MIC Mykko said that as an artist he’s experienced homophobia in the entertainment industry.

    “It is exhausting that as a queer artist not only do I experience homophobia in the entertainment industry but also censorship for the unapologetically queer imagery I promote,” Blanco told Mic, noting that “topless women with bare buttocks is acceptable, [yet] suggestive queer imagery is banned.”

    YouTube has allowed videos with much more sexually suggestive imagery without censorship. Videos such as Eric Prydz’s “Call On Me” and Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball”  are not blocked.
