He is not happy.
Fredo Starr, an actor and rapper from America, has found himself stuck in Dublin Airport after his flight was diverted because of the snow storm.
He’s most recognisable for his roles in Moesha, Save The Last Dance and The Wire, but is also one-third of rapping group Onyx. He was travelling over to Prague from Chicago for two shows with the group, which they have now missed.
Fredro explained to RTÉ News, that they were already on the plane to Prague when it tried to land in Dublin. When it wasn’t able to, the plane was diverted to what he says, “Shannon, Belfast”. He then got on a train to Dublin.
Once he was at Dublin Airport, he was unable to travel any further because flights have been cancelled. He was forced to spend the night in McDonalds at the airport.
He gave a lengthy interview with the news team, where he said:
“We got on in Chicago. Chicago should’ve told us that we was [sic] flying into the eye of the storm, because they knew that Prague was our final destination. We shouldn’t have even came to Dublin!”
He continued:
“So we got to Dublin. We had to fly over Dublin. Then they circled around the airport. Then we flew to Shannon Belfast. Stayed on the runway three hours – three hours! – no water, nothing. This is Aer Lingus. Got off the runway, took a charter bus to the train station. Train station to the bus. Bus to the airport.
I love Ireland but I got to get out of here!”
