Jetsmarter founder Sergey Petrossov has issued a statement on the bawse move.

“At JetSmarter, we are excited for our members to meet Rick Ross. With this event, we are creating priceless opportunities, both in the air and on the ground, that are only possible thanks to JetSmarter,” said Sergey Petrossov, Founder of Jetsmarter.

Back in March, Terror Squad rapper Fat Joe relied on the JetSmarter service.

A couple years ago, Jay Z made major headlines for investing in the growing private jet company.

The high-rolling rap mogul recently invested in an app called JetSmarter — which allows users to book a private jet in a matter of seconds. The lavish company, which is often deemed the Uber of private jets, announced Thursday that it had closed a $20 million round of investments. (NY Daily News)
