Kanye West praised as ‘humble’ for ‘flying coach’ after ex Kim Kardashian is accused of flaunting wealth with $150M jet
KANYE West is being celebrated and called "humble" for flying like an average person after Kim Kardashian showed off her private jet.
The reality star bought the pricey plane back in March 2022, joining other members of her famous family in owning her own aircraft.
Amid the backlash against Kim, 41, and sister Kylie Jenner, who was slammed for posting a photo in front of two private planes, fans resurfaced old photos of Kanye, 44, flying coach on an online thread.
The post included several photos of the father-of-four flying like a regular person, and going through airport security.
In one pic, the Chicago rapper appears to be sitting among other passengers, working on his laptop.
Users joked about the images, calling Kanye "our eco friendly king."

Another quipped: "He's just like me," while one said, "humble."
Someone else claimed: "He flies first class usually, but he's not above flying coach if that's all that's available. That particular flight in slide 5, it was to be there to help with Kim's SNL appearance & retrieve the tapes. He sat in economy in the back of the plane by the toilets."
A third fan suggested: "I thought I remember someone from his team saying he likes doing it to interact with regular people to get out of the celebrity bubble..."
Another speculated: "I feel he wants to get places fast and impulsively, so he just gets on the next available flight."
