Jason Derulo is buying a private jet after being booted off a flight over the weekend.
The Want to Want Me hitmaker and his bodyguard got into an argument with Southwest Airlines staff after being denied an escort to get through check-in faster.
The bodyguard exchanged heated words with anemployee and Jason and his entourage were escorted off the plane from Reno, California, to Los Angeles, where the singer had a gig.
Quizzed about the incident by TMZ, he said: "It's alright, I'm buying a plane this month."
Derulo's representative insists he was allowed on the plane but other members of his entourage were not, but got on the plane anyway.
This resulted in the entire group being taken off the flight by airport security.
The crooner eventually made his way to his LA gig by private jet, but he was said to be extremely upset with the airline over their actions.
He later posted a video to Instagram, saying: "I had to fire my travel agent for booking me somewhere I wasn't supposed to be ... but now we're here, we're good."
