Davido Flies His Dad’s Jet, Others Rent-Lace Vine Sheds Light on Private Jet Use in Nigerian Music

A recent statement from Lace Vine, a prominent businessman in the Nigerian aviation industry, has stirred conversation across social media.

Lace Vine, who co-founded a private jet charter company, took to Twitter to offer some clarity on a topic often discussed in whispers—the ownership of private jets in Nigeria’s music industry.

“Nobody owns a jet in the Nigerian music industry. It’s all charter, apart from Davido who flies his Dad’s jet,” Lace Vine explained, addressing the common misconception that some of Nigeria’s biggest music stars own private jets.

The statement came after a fan shared a photo of Burna Boy getting off a jet, captioning it: “Burna Boy getting off his private jet last night in Abuja.”

In response to the attention his tweet attracted, Lace Vine emphasized that his statement wasn’t meant as a slight against anyone.

“Please, there’s no intent to shade anyone with this tweet,” he clarified, “Also, renting a jet is not fake life. It’s not cheap.”

His explanation highlighted the practicality behind chartering private jets—while owning a jet may be considered the ultimate luxury, the costs involved in maintaining one are astronomical.

Chartering, on the other hand, offers flexibility and convenience without the long-term financial burden, making it an attractive option for celebrities and high-net-worth individuals who frequently travel.

As the discussion around private jet ownership continues, what remains clear is that Nigerian artists like Burna Boy and Wizkid are global powerhouses, regardless of how they fly.

Whether they own jets or charter them, their influence and success are undeniable.
