Fans raised eyebrows last Thursday, March 6, when two-time Grammy winner T-Pain took to Instagram to compare the jaw-dropping cost of a private jet to a humble commercial flight.
In a playful reel, the R&B star revealed that a roundtrip private flight between Atlanta and Las Vegas would set him back a staggering $126,000.
“And y’all are asking me—do you understand what I’m saying?” he teased. “Are you OK now? Do you feel like it? ‘No private jet? You’re not taking a private jet?’”
The answer? A firm no. But that didn’t stop followers from buzzing with concern, wondering if the singer was facing financial woes.
The speculation was short-lived, though. T-Pain quickly flipped the script with a follow-up clip showcasing his lavish yacht, captioned with a sarcastic, “yOu dIdNt fLY pRIvaTe???” “I guess I’m broke. Anyways here’s the yacht I’m staying on,” he quipped over the video.
