Flying is never stressful for Drake. The hip-hop artist and entrepreneur travels in luxury on “Air Jake,” a $185 million private jet.
Drake, who has a reputed net worth of $250 million, is a multi-platinum artist who has recorded with other musicians such as Jay-Z, Rihanna, Travis Scott, and Nicki Minaj. He is also an entrepreneur–in 2012, the rapper launched OVO Sound, a record label distributed through Warner Bros. Records, and in 2016, Virginia Black, a bourbon-based whiskey.
He’s worked with brands such as Sprite, Nike, and Apple. Drake’s ownership of “Air Drake” is a result of a partnership with Cargojet. In 2019 he decided to become a promotional ambassador for Cargojet. He shared the private jet to his social media following, which at the time, boasted 38 million Twitter followers and 57 million Instagram followers.
“We have had a lengthy relationship with Drake and this partnership has grown organically between both parties,” Cargojet’s president and CEO, Ajay Virmani said in a press release. “Cargojet and Drake are both great Canadian successes, we are thrilled to be partnering together.”
Five years later, the hip-hop mogul is still enjoying the benefits of the partnership. He flies with his team and at times, closest friends on the luxe aircraft. Let’s take a look inside Air Drake.
Drake Flying In Luxury
Air Drake is a Boeing 767 private plane seating 30 people. The jet features three private suites, two living room areas and a bathroom complete with a shower.
One of the plane’s greatest features is its custom paint design. Drake’s friend, fashion innovator Virgil Abloh designed the plane’s exterior before he died in 2021. The plane is painted using sky blue and white with a cloud-like design. The tail section of the plane includes a white owl–which also serves as the logo for OVO. The side of the plane shares its name–Air Drake and on its underbelly reads “If You’re Reading This We Left.”
Inside, the plane’s cabin is fully customized. Featuring a combination of gold and wood surfaces, there is also a striped carpet. Beige and light purple velvet and leather furnishings are also present and built for relaxation.
Drake enjoys traveling on Air Drake with friends. According to Page Six, he often shares meals or plays cards on the tables in the business lounge or entertainment room. He and his guests can also watch a movie on the television located in the plane’s theater room.
