Bobbi Storm, a member of the Grammy-nominated band Maverick City Music, recently sparked debate over a viral video of her singing on a Delta Airlines flight.
Recently, on a Delta Airlines flight, Storm decided to treat fellow passengers to a mini performance. However, she nearly got kicked off the plane due to her singing
But the airline staff weren't overly enthused about her singing, with one member being filmed and telling the 36-year-old songstress to 'sit down' and 'be quiet'.
In the footage that went viral on social media, during her performance on board, the airline staff were seen not being overly enthused about her singing. In the video, a crew member is seen telling the 36-year-old songstress to 'sit down' and 'be quiet.
Standing in the aisle talking to the crew member, Storm innocently puts her hands up as she proceeds to make her way back to her seat as ordered.
Complying with the instructions, Storm makes her way back to her seat, innocently putting her hands up as she proceeds.
After returning back her seat, sigher's Storm went on to tell another passenger about her music and her Grammy nominations.
The same flight attendant reiterates his request for her to be quiet, threatening that she won't be allowed to continue the flight if she doesn't comply.
He asks her: "Are you going to be quiet?"
After Storm insists that everyone is 'enjoying it', he replies: "But I'm not enjoying it, so I'm asking you, can you be quiet?"
Storm replies that “the seatbelt sign is off so it’s not a disturbance.”
After sitting down, she announces: “I just found out I’m up for two Grammys. My very first time, you guys.
The flight attendant then walks off, but Storm continues to sing to her surrounding passengers a song called "We Can't Forget Him" in hushed tones.
“I sing for the Lord and my song is out on all platforms and is called ‘We Can’t Forget Him.’
“I wanna share this with you, guys,” Storm added.
The video sparked an online debate, with some expressing disapproval of her actions.
One person said: As a singer who has spent enough time on a plane, the person telling her to shut up was right. Ain't nobody want to hear that at 30,000 feet.
A second wrote: As much of an honor it would be to meet her, and we're all proud of her accomplishments, she needs to understand not everyone wants to be serenaded on an airplane. I just wanna go to sleep most of the time lol.
Someone else said: This would’ve driven me insane. Idc what kid of music you’re singing, sit down and just be a passenger like everyone else. Uneventful flights are the best… point A to point B with no loud noises or disturbances.
If a baby screamed the whole flight people would naturally be annoyed. Idk why you think to scream-singing to a whole plane would be any better. Some ppl need home training. Another added.
In another video, Storm claimed that Delta reached out to apologize, emphasizing that no rules were broken.
“There was no rules being broken. It was just me spreading my joy with people after they gave me the go to do so,” she said.
She stated that she didn't want the flight attendant to face consequences but hoped he could learn a valuable lesson on how to treat people.
Storm also encouraged support by streaming her music.
