A representative for their airline has apologized and given him and his rumored blushing bride two vouchers for $200.

Benzino made headlines Wednesday when a video of him going postal on AirTran Airline workers and saying they were racist went viral. (See it here). Benzino said a flight attendant asked him to show his ticket. He said he believes it's because he was a person of color sitting in First Class.
He was flying out of Las Vegas into Atlanta after a video shoot for the new single Ghetto Love. He posted several pictures on Instagram of he and his girlfriend Althea Hart wearing white -- particularly her wearing a bridal gown; sparking rumors that they secretly tied the knot in Sin City.
Benzino also shared a picture of the voucher on Instagram and added the caption, "EXACTLY! WE DID NOTHING WRONG!!! IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE GOT SO ANGRY BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS, SHOUTS OUT TO THE SUPERVISER WHO HANDLED IT IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY."
