We've got a new in-flight Starlink fan: Rick Ross

Rapper Rick Ross recently showed off his multimillion dollar hangar, including a private jet with Starlink connectivity.

Rapper Rick Ross has installed SpaceX's Starlink in his private jet, upgrading his estimated $40 million Gulfstream G550. The rapper said the satellite internet service allows him to stay on the phone during takeoff and landing, providing a seamless experience. SpaceX has been promoting Starlink as its flagship technology, with the company currently boasting 12 million subscribers.

Several airlines, including American Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, have adopted the technology. Ross' hangar, dubbed the "Eagle's Nest," features a collection of luxury vehicles, including Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and a 1970s Chevy Impala.
