Diana Ross spent the weekend in New Orleans because she was booked to perform at the Jazz Fest.
The iconic singer says she was treated like “royalty” in NOLA, but it was a different story when she arrived at the airport.
OK so on one hand I’m treated like royalty in New Orleans and at the airport I was treated like shit

She made it clear that she didn’t have any direct issues with the Airlines, which many public figures have spoken out on in the past. But it was the security agency that made her uncomfortable.
