Rick Ross Says There's No Difference Between Starlink on His Private Jet and Internet at Home: 'The Phone

Rick Ross says he installed SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet on his $50 million private jet, describing the in-flight service as seamless for calls and streaming. In a Complex interview released late Monday, the rapper (William Leonard Roberts II) said the jet was “recently upgraded with Starlink” and that calls don’t drop during takeoff. He also said he paid $700,000 for the installation. The comments come as Starlink adoption spreads across airlines and private aviation. Investor Jason Calacanis said he prioritizes Starlink availability when choosing flights. U.S. carriers including United (equipping international widebodies) and American (more than 500 aircraft, including Airbus A321neos) have also announced planned Starlink rollouts.
