According to the calculations, 1,522 litres of fuel were consumed during the 70-kilometer flight. The jet released about 4 tonnes of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, harming the environment.

The enormous Boeing 767 aircraft, which recently completed two other flights from Toronto to Hamilton, took 18 minutes and 16 minutes, respectively.

“It’s extremely wasteful,” Ian Borsuk, climate campaign coordinator for Environment Hamilton, told the media. “As a single person, he’s probably emitting more on one flight than most people who make that drive emit in a month or even a year.”

On Twitter, many slammed the rapper for the wasteful flights.

Drake just flew 14 minutes on his private jet and made 4 tons of CO2 emissions. That’s the same amount of emissions the average person makes in a year. It would have taken an hour to drive the same distance. This is criminal.
