An aviation expert has claimed that no musician in Nigeria owns a private jet.
He made the statement as a rebuttal to a claim by a fan of Grammy Award-winning artist Burna Boy, that the singer possesses his own private jet.
“Burna Boy getting off his private jet last night in Abuja. ✈️,” the fan wrote.
The aviation expert, with the handle @LaceVine on X saw the tweet and felt the need to correct the impression.
LaceVine who co-founded a private jet charter company, quoted the post and wrote that no Nigerian music industry musician actually owns private jets.
According to him, the artists just utilize charter services for their air travel needs.
“Nobody owns a jet in the Nigerian music industry. It’s all charter, apart from Davido who flies his Dad’s jet,” he stated.
He said his statement was not intended to undermine any artist but to offer clarity on the matter.
“Please there’s no intent to shade anyone with this tweet. Also renting a Jet is not fake life. It’s not cheap,” he added.
The statement has sparked conversations online, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the lifestyle of Nigerian musicians.
An X user, @odogwu_joeblaq reacted, “We know. Many are just surprised you opened a certain artist nyansh in the market. But all is well.”
Another user @onlyonefabzofph added, “We know this already ….but I thought they said Davido bought one pj worth billions of naira 😂😂💔💔and that he has and extra one including the one his father gave him… making his pj 3 😂😂💔💔.”
