An aspiring rapper from Toronto who pulled a coronavirus prank while on a WestJet flight from Toronto to Montego Bay, Jamaica said he is “sorry” for pulling the publicity stunt. James Potok told CityNews he stood up as the plane neared Jamaica on Monday and said, “Can I get everybody’s attention, please. More people seeing on social media, going, ‘Wow, this kid’s got some balls,’ or, ‘This kid is crazy,’” Potok told Global News. The other 242 passengers on Potok’s flight were put on an added flight the next day. James Potok claims his intention was to create a viral video when he suggested on a flight to Jamaica that he may be sick with the new coronavirus.
