Jet Daniel, an aviation entrepreneur from Nigeria, has addressed the common belief that several musicians in the country possess private jets.
This response follows a trending video shared by a fan of Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning artist, suggesting that he owns a private jet.
“Burna Boy disembarking from his private jet yesterday night in Abuja,” the fan commented.

He pointed out that most artists rely on chartered flights for their travel.
“Nobody in the Nigerian music scene owns a jet. They all use charters, except for Davido, who uses his father’s jet,” he stated.

He also clarified that his comments were not meant to disrespect any artist but were intended to provide clarity on the situation.
“There is no attempt to insult anyone with this tweet. Renting a jet doesn’t equate to living a false life; it isn’t inexpensive,” he added.
This remark has ignited discussions online, with both fans and critics sharing their thoughts about the lifestyle of Nigerian artists.
An X user, @odogwu_joeblaq commented, “We’re aware. It’s surprising that you chose to expose a certain artist’s situation. But all is good.”
Another user, @onlyonefabzofph mentioned, “We are already aware of this ….but isn’t it said that Davido bought a private jet worth billions of naira? That he has an additional one aside from the one his father owns… making a total of three?”
