Jet Daniel, a Nigerian businessman in the aviation industry has come out to debunk the widespread claims that some Nigerian musicians own private jets.
His statement was made in response to a viral video posted by a fan of Grammy Award-winning artist Burna Boy, which implied that the celebrated musician possesses his own private jet.
“Burna Boy getting off his private jet last night in Abuja. ✈️,” the fan wrote.
The businessman, who also goes by the Twitter handle @LaceVine, and who co-founded a private jet charter company, quoted the post stating that no Nigerian music industry musicians actually own private jets.
According to him, most artists typically 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 further elaborated that 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.
