Southwest Airlines Calls In COPS Over Jason Derulo Shouting Match

Jason Derulo and his entourage were removed from a flight Saturday after he and his bodyguard got mouthy with a Southwest Airlines employee.

Derulo and his crew were traveling from Reno to L.A. when one of his bodyguards was denied TSA preferred boarding. The “Want To Want Me” singer boarded the plane but was removed by cops a short time later.

A rep for Jason tells TMZ the singer requested an escort to get him and his crew through the airport faster because TSA precheck was down … they were refused. When they called “bulls**t” … the rep says airport staff refused to let Jason’s crew get on the flight, but she says Jason was allowed on.  It appears other members of his crew got on as well, and that’s why airport cops came and escorted them all off.  We’re told he’s currently on a private jet to make it to his show in LA tonight and they’re extremely upset with the way Southwest Airlines handled the situation. h/t tmz

Sources say Jason and crew boarded but soon thereafter airport cops came on board and removed them from the flight.
