Plane passengers saw a man standing in the aisle of a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Malta, and when people finally realised who it was they started to praise him for flying budget
Passengers on a Ryanair flight were left baffled when they spotted a famous face in the aisle. The man who had caught their attention was none other than Vybz Kartel, 49, the Jamaican dancehall artist also known as the King of Dancehall.
Vybz, along with his fiancée Sidem Öztürk, 32, were seen on the budget airline, much to the surprise of fellow passengers. The down-to-earth star was even seen stowing his own luggage in the overhead locker before taking time to chat and pose for photos with fans on the plane. Despite being able to afford a private jet, as many of his fans pointed out, Vybz chose to fly with Ryanair, fully aware that he would be recognised by his fans and followers.
The artist is enjoying a successful year, having recently won the Impact Award at the MOBO Awards and making his first UK performance in two decades at the Wireless Festival, where he was brought on stage by Drake.
His decision to fly budget has been met with praise from fans, who believe he makes these public appearances “for the fans”.
An Instagram post by @theshadeborough read: “Talk about soul plane! #VybzKartel made these passengers’ journey after he was seen on a Ryanair flight”.
Fans were quick to commend him for his choice, with one man commenting: “He’s doing it for the fans. He can actually afford to take a private jet”.
“Imagine going to Malta to see Vybz and he’s just on your flight,” one fan excitedly shared.
Others praised him as “humble,” jesting that the “whole flight was about to be a concert”.
“Simplicity is key, save your money,” another person advised, commending Vybz for his choice of budget travel.
Some even quipped that it was “Ryanair’s biggest achievement” to have the superstar onboard one of their flights.
A woman revealed that fans barely “gave him a second” to catch his breath on the flight before they swarmed him for selfies.
However, the dancehall sensation seemed to relish the attention, as did his fiancée, both appearing delighted to engage with their adoring fans.
“Since when does Ryanair have business class seats?” a man jested, implying that the star should be living luxuriously rather than opting for budget seating.
