Will.I.am jumped on his Twitter to take United Airlines to task after he was allegedly asked to leave their first class lounge for showing a fake membership card. The producer didn't appreciate getting bounced from the lounge and went on a bit of a Twitter rant.

Sending a message to his 12 million followers he posted, “#unitedAIRLINES is the worse. I’m a member and I have my card to prove it. but they tell me my card is fake & kick me out the lounge #ouch.” The Black Eye Peas' leader didn't specify which airport he was in but he did say that shortly after he was kicked out that a pilot for United came up and asked him to take a selfie with him.

United explained their side of things in a statement.

"We invite only customers travelling in United Global First, customers with Global Services status traveling in United BusinessFirst, and customers traveling in first class on other Star Alliance carriers to visit our Global First Lounges. Since the customer did not meet these criteria he did not have access to the lounge. We are reaching out to the customer and appreciate his business."
