Will.i.am vents on Twitter after United Airlines 'gives away his seat' on flight to China

An irate Will.i.am took to twitter to criticise United Airlines for being left behind after his seat on a flight from New York to China was given away.

The Black Eyed Peas rapper arrived at the New York airport 45 minutes before the international flight was due to take off but airport officials were unable to let him on the flight.

He quickly broadcast his frustrations to his 12 million twitter followers in a series of angry posts.
