The three-member group of Takeoff, Quavo, and Offset were taken off the plane after they allegedly didn't buckle their seatbelts and stow carry-on items in the overhead bins.
Delta sent FOX 5 the following statement:
"Delta flight 1532 from Atlanta to Des Moines returned to the gate, prior to departure, to deplane several customers seated in the First Class cabin who repeatedly refused to follow crew member instructions to buckle their seatbelts and stow carry-on items in the overhead bins. The customers were rebooked on an alternate flight to Des Moines, which arrived around 9 p.m. Friday evening."
