A well-known aviation industry businessman explains definitively the widely circulated claims that musicians from Nigeria possess private aircraft.
This declaration was made in reaction to a widely shared video posted online by a fan of Grammy Award–winning musician Burna Boy, which suggested that the well-known performer owned a private jet.
“Burna Boy getting off his private jet last night in Abuja. ✈️,” the fan wrote.
The businessman @LaceVine, who also co-founded a private jet charter company, cited the post that claimed no musicians in the Nigerian music industry truly owned private aircraft. He claims that most artists usually use charter services to meet their air travel requirements.
“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 went on to clarify that his remarks were meant to provide clarity on the subject, not to disparage any artists.
“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 😂😂💔💔.”
