The artist, whose given name is Quincy Matthew Hanley, took to Twitter in anger.

ScHoolboy Q had been flying from Missouri to Burbank, via a layover in Denver. His French bulldog puppy, Yeeerndamean, was accidentally mixed up with another dog and put on a flight to Chicago.

The infuriated hip hop artist told CNN that he planned to sue.

United Airlines, which has had a series of PR blunders this year, said in a statement that they had returned ScHoolboy Q's dog to him the same evening, apologising and offering the rapper a refund.

The rapper once said "only thing I got is my girl and my dogs." He has separate Instagram accounts for two of his dogs. Yeerndamean is the newest addition to the family.
