The 27-year-old singer has insisted he requested to leave the flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Wednesday after he was told a pal who had agreed to take a later flight with all of their bags, following confusion over check-in time, had been charged $4,000 for checking in the group’s 19 items of luggage. And the star was outraged because his “status” has meant he has “never” had to fork out the whopping sum before, because American Airlines allow recognised stars to have three bags free of charge.
