The musician was traveling from New York to Los Angeles and was wearing black track pants that read “F*** YOU” and “F****N”. The pants are sponsored by brand Ripndip, DJ Soda revealed in her post.

“As they picked me up from the plane, they claimed my track pants were ‘inappropriate’ and ‘offensive,’ and told me I needed to get on the next flight,” the 36-year-old wrote on Instagram.

“I had an important meeting organized in Los Angeles that day, so I couldn’t afford to get off this flight. I pleaded to stay on the plane but was ignored by the staff and flight attendants. I even offered to make a change but the request was denied.”

Soda stated that the flight attendants at the gate didn’t seem to have any issues with her clothes and “gladly welcomed me at the boarding gate,” she added on her post.
