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.
