Feeling that the private Boeing 747 is wasteful and harmful to the environment, many takes to social media to slam the power couple for boarding the plane.
- Nov 28, 2018
AceShowbiz - It's not uncommon for celebrities to board their own private plane whenever they want to travel, but Kanye West and Kim Kardashian might have taken things a little bit too far. The power couple has sparked outrage on social media after the makeup mogul revealed that they flew on a private Boeing 747 for a recent long-haul flight.
Showing off the luxurious design of the plane in a series of Instagram Stories videos, she said in the footage, "This is how he (Kanye) does it now, only 747s, private! I've never even heard of this, but whatever!" Kim even invited her fitness expert Melissa Alcantara to join the couple for the trip so that the mother of three still could do her daily workouts.
Many then took to social media to express their anger after watching the footage as they felt that the jet was wasteful and harmful to the environment, given that the three were the only non-staff members on the giant plane. Some even accused the couple of "f***ing up" the environment.
Dear @KimKardashian I hope you‘re well aware of how you’re fucking up our environment but then again who needs clean air anyways pic.twitter.com/Kd3wLh6jsR

"So @KimKardashian & @kanyewest just boarded a private 747 only for themselves and their trainer. I guess working out in a plane is more important than the environment! Priorities kids!" one outraged user tweeted. Another suggested them to just take their usual private jet because "this is so bad for the environment," adding, "we all know you're overwhelmingly wealthy no need to convince us."

"The same week the climate report is released @KimKardashian and @kanyewest fly a freaking 747 jumbo jet privately. This is like finding out your prediabetic and then buying Costco sized candy bags," one other said, while one individual noted, "All I'm thinking is what a waste of jet fuel, resources, environmental harm, etc etc etc. Smh. So obnoxious and unnecessary."

Kim and Kanye haven't responded to the criticism.
