In the video, T-Pain said:

"To take a private jet from Atlanta to Vegas and then back to Atlanta is $126,000 dollars. And y'all are asking me… Do you understand what I'm saying? Are you ok now? You feel like it? No private jet? What? You're not taking a private jet?"

He further added:

"You not spending all this money to go make money? Why would you do that? In what world is that smart? Then y'all be like, he's going broke again!"

T-Pain pointed out how people expect him to take a private jet, even though it's too expensive. He questioned why he should spend so much and also called out the people who criticized him for not taking the private jet.
