Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am took to Twitter on Friday to detail an experience on a Qantas Airways flight that he called racist — and now faces backlash of his own.

[Get ready for the 19-hour flight: Qantas sets record for ultralong trip]After initially tweeting that he didn’t “want to believe she racist,” will.i.am sent a series of tweets accusing the flight attendant of being exactly that — and identified her by name, which drew a swift rebuke on Twitter.
