A RAPPER has unleashed his fury on Twitter after being kicked off a plane for allegedly leaving his mobile phone on.

Rapper Wale, who has recorded songs with Rihanna and Lady Gaga, was ordered off the New York-bound American Airlines flight yesterday.

He took to the social networking site to share his anger with his three million followers, tweeting:

Wale claims his mobile phone was off at the time and said he was having a "civil conversation" with the pilot about the incident - until the police arrived.

He also tweeted "@AmericanAir your staff crazy" and vowed to never fly with the airline again.
