• He notes that Davido is the only exception, as he flies in a private jet owned by his father, billionaire Adedeji Adeleke.

An aviation sector businessman has categorically dismissed claims that Nigerian singers own private jets.

This clarification follows a viral video shared by a fan of Grammy Award-winning artist Burna Boy, which suggested that the singer possesses a private jet.

The businessman, a co-founder of a private jet charter company, emphasized that no musicians in the Nigerian music industry own their jets.

According to the businessman, these artists typically rely on charter services for their air travel.

While addressing the situation, the businessman pointed out that Davido, the head of the DMW record label, is an exception, as he flies in a private jet owned by 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.
