A businessman in the aviation industry, who co-founded a private jet charter company, has firmly refuted claims that Nigerian musicians own private jets.
His statement comes after a fan of Burna Boy, the Grammy Award-winning artist, circulated a video implying that the star owns a jet.
The businessman clarified that none of the artists in Nigeria’s music industry own private jets, noting that they typically rely on charter services for their air travel.
In his remarks, the businessman noted that Davido, the head of the DMW record label, is an exception, as he travels in a private jet that belongs to his billionaire father, Adedeji Adeleke, rather than owning one himself.
In a tweet, he wrote:
“Nobody owns a jet in the Nigerian music industry. It’s all charter, apart from Davido who flies his Dad’s jet.”
He further clarified that his comments were not intended to disparage anyone and highlighted that renting a jet should not be considered living a “fake life,” as it can be quite costly.
