Post Malone is one of 16 passengers aboard a private plane that is being forced to make an emergency landing after two of the plane’s tires front tires blew out on takeoff, multiple outlets report.
The Gulfstream Aerospace GLF-4 luxury jet took off on Tuesday from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey around 10:50 a.m., the Associated Press reports.
It was meant to fly to London Luton Airport in Luton, England, but the incident has prompted an emergency landing.
That landing was expected to happen at Teterboro airport in New Jersey, but the FAA confirmed it diverted to Westfield Barnes Regional Airport in Springfield, Massachusetts. Boston 25’s Courtney Spinelli reports that the FAA has confirmed the plane has diverted again to Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, New York as it burns off fuel — something that will make it safer for a possible crash landing.
There are 16 people aboard the aircraft, the pilot of the plan confirms in aircraft audio obtained by TMZ.
Politico’s Ryan Hutchins reports that one of those people is Malone, 23 — though reps for the singer did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. Malone is scheduled to perform Friday at the Reading Festival in Reading, England.
Malone attended Monday’s 2018 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City, where he took home song of the year and then hit the Radio City Music Hall stage for a show-closing performance with Aerosmith.
“You go to bed and you dream about maybe winning and then whenever you get up here you don’t remember what the hell to say,” Malone said while taking the stage with 21 Savage, who guests on the song. “Thank you so much. Thank you to my family, thank you to my crew — everybody that was a part of the song. Thank you everybody for listening.”
He added, “Honestly, in a hundred million years I would never expect to do this ever, so this is sick. So thank you so much, guys, thank you so much.”
