“Yo Delta, what the f*** is going on, b? Y’all just messed up my f***ing studio rig, bro,” he said in a video. “First of all, this whole shit had a case on it. Now it don’t got the f***ing case on it.

“Y’all broke my f***ing knobs. Like, y’all know how much this cost? Y’all going to have to reimburse all that.”

The “Devastated” rapper also claimed that this is the second time Delta has damaged his belongings.

“Y’all broke my f***ing Rimowa bag, still ain’t pay up on that,” he said. “I’m a f***ing diamond medallion member, like, what is good with y’all? I need f***ing answers, Delta.”

According to TMZ, Delta is aware of this incident and intends to contact Joey about it.

“Delta teams will look into this described situation and reach out to the customer to address it,” a spokesperson told the outlet.
