At 4:16 ET, Lennox tweeted, “F*** Amsterdam security. They hate black people.” Twenty minutes after that, she tweeted, “They’re arresting me,” and then “I’m being arrested in Amsterdam for reacting to a woman racially profiling me.”
In a tweet that has since been deleted, Lennox said, “F*** Amsterdam, f*** KLM,” KLM is a Netherlands-based airline in which she was presumably on the day of the incident.
In another deleted tweet, she continued to share her sentiments on the racist attitude she had allegedly experienced, saying, “Racism. Wow, Amsterdam, I’m horrified. I was so happy to travel and this evil woman… I’ve never experienced racism so blatant.”
The incident took place soon after the airing of her Soul Train Awards performance on Sunday, where she was seen sharing the stage alongside Summer Walker. At the event, Lennox also performed her latest hit, “Pressure.” Soon after the performance, she tweeted that she was jetting off.
