B.o.B. Pulls a Kanye, Raps for Captive Audience on Delta Flight [VIDEO]

Is it in-flight entertainment, or just another annoying interruption from the crew?

Following in the footsteps of Kanye West, Atlanta-based rapper B.o.B. treated passengers aboard a Delta flight bound for Los Angeles to a live performance of his song "Airplanes."

The thematic coupling appears to have been thought out in advance of the actual performance, and a flight attendant, reading from a script, delivered a rather elaborate introduction before B.o.B. picked up the intercom and started doing his thing.


Given that Kanye's seemingly spontaneous rendition of "Gold Digger" also came on a Delta flight, one wonders whether rapping is now a part of the airline's marketing strategy. After all, Delta has posted the clip of B.o.B. on its YouTube channel.
