Bow Wow called out on Twitter after posting pic of 'his' private jet... before being snapped flying commercial
Rapper Bow Wow made a major social media snafu on Tuesday
The 30-year-old bragged to his fans on his Instagram about traveling by private jet on his promotional tour for his reality show Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta.
But unfortunately for him, an eagle-eyed airline passenger spotted him traveling to New York on a regular commercial flight, took a photo and called the recording artist out on Twitter.
'So this guy lil bow wow is on my flight to NY. But on instagram he posted a picture of a private jet captioned "traveling to NY today" smh,' @Al_Khee tweeted.

Soon Twitter users from all over were chiming in with their reaction to the reveal.
One user shared a screen shot from a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, VIP transportation service, that had the same photo of a private jet with a Mercedes transit van and a Mercedes sedan parked next to it that appeared to be the same image that Bow Wow had shared to Instagram.

Others poked fun at the rapper's seeming attempt to puff up his image and portray a luxury lifestyles he wasn't living.
'Help me, I'm poor,' wrote one Twitter user over a picture of a woman on an airplane.
Another tweeted: 'Let Bow Wow be a lesson: Stop comparing yourself to folks on social media. Most of them aren't living how they claim.'
