Rapper Azealia Banks launched a foul mouthed tirade on a flight attendant and tried to physically attack a man after she was unable to get off of a plane.

The 24-year-old was attempting to disembark the jet when it landed in LA in the early hours of Tuesday morning, but could not leave because a French couple were blocking her path.

The other passengers were getting their luggage out of the overheard storage - but Azealia wanted to get off immediately without any hold ups.
