Los Angeles, CA – Mayweather vs. Pacquiao may have possibly been the most iconic match in boxing history – though it had NOTHNG on the battle that took place between Travis Kalanick and an Uber Black driver!
Video footage from the evening of February 5th has recently surfaced, and it demonstrates Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, engaging in a heated argument with Fawzi Kamel, an Uber driver. Apparently Kamel, is far from thrilled with the recent changes that Travis has made with Uber.
“You’re raising the standards, and you’re dropping the prices.”, Kamel passionately spoke to Kalanick. “People are not trusting you any more. I lost $97,000 because of you! I’m bankrupt because of you … You keep changing every day.”.
Well the Uber CEO was not digging Kamel at ALL and responded to the driver’s comments with, “Bullsh*t.”!
Ha ha whoa, then Kalanick kept it all the way funky with Kamel and followed up with, “Some people don’t like to take responsibility for their own sh*t. They blame everything in their life on somebody else.”. Then before exiting the Uber and slamming the door behind him, the Uber CEO yelled at the driver, “Good luck!”.
Yes ya’ll, it went from 0 to 100 REAL QUICK inside of that Uber!! On Tuesday night however, Kalanick apologized for his behavior in an email to the Uber staff, which the company published on its blog as well.
“To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement,” Kalanick wrote. “My job as your leader is to lead … and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. It’s clear this video is a reflection of me – and the criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up,” Kalanick added. “This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.”.
