FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — After refusing to wear a face mask and making a scene on a JetBlue Airways flight from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles Sunday, Lil Pump has been banned for life from the airline, USA Today reported. The 20-year-old Miami rapper, born Gazzy Garcia, "became verbally abusive with crew members after being asked multiple times and refusing to comply with JetBlue's face covering policy," a spokesperson for the airline said. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline requires that all passengers 2 and older wear a face covering throughout the flight, reports said. Police were asked to meet the flight at LAX when the flight landed, the Miami Herald reported. Lil Pump wasn't arrested or charged following the incident, though. The rapper made headlines leading up to the Nov. 3 presidential election for his support of Pres. Donald Trump. Lil Pump attended Trump rallies — maskless — and shared photos of himself wearing a red Make America Great Again hat.
