Russell Wilson
is known for precision, leadership, and focus on the football field—but off it, his strategic thinking and loyalty run just as deep. The
NFL
quarterback recently spotlighted those values by backing the launch of
REAL JET
, a private aviation startup spearheaded by his longtime friend and visionary entrepreneur, Kenny Dichter. For Wilson, this wasn't just a casual repost—it was a testament to a decade-long bond grounded in mutual ambition, trust, and a shared pursuit of meaningful impact.
Russell Wilson teams up with Troy Aikman to back a $100M friend's latest business venture
Their friendship dates back more than ten years, but it's built on more than just business ventures. During the COVID-19 crisis, Wilson and Dichter co-created the 'Meals Up' initiative in partnership with Feeding America. The campaign delivered critical meals to struggling communities during a time of global uncertainty, revealing a deeper layer of their relationship—one rooted in compassion and responsibility. It wasn't about headlines; it was about humanity.

Now, Wilson is again amplifying Dichter's mission. He reshared a post from REAL JET on Instagram to his 5.6 million followers, tagging both @kennydichter and @flyrealjet, with three flying emojis. The soundtrack? 'Fly Away' by Lenny Kravitz—a clever nod to both the launch and the literal takeoff of this bold new venture. The move was subtle yet significant, signaling Wilson's unwavering support as Dichter re-enters the private aviation space following his tenure as CEO of Wheels Up.
REAL JET is not just another luxury travel option—it's a disruptive force in private aviation. As part of Dichter's broader lifestyle brand REAL SLX, the company aims to 'connect flyers with the right companies, the right aircraft, and the right people.' His approach reimagines aviation much like rideshare apps revolutionized urban transport—making private air travel more accessible, tailored, and efficient for corporate travelers and occasional flyers alike.
Interestingly, Russell Wilson isn't the only NFL legend showing love. Hall of Famer
Troy Aikman
also threw his support behind Dichter, reposting a message that described the founder as a 'visionary entrepreneur.' While Wilson and Aikman have had a candid, sometimes tense rapport, their shared admiration for Dichter bridges any gridiron gaps. It reflects the aviation mogul's wide-reaching influence and the powerful relationships he's cultivated across industries.
Wilson's wife, Ciara, also chimed in, reposting her husband's story and adding her own cheer: 'Let's go @kennydichter.' Their history with the Dichters runs deep. Back in 2015, Wilson posted a heartfelt photo from a private flight, writing, 'Grateful for @WheelsUp8760 Family CEO Kenny Dichter & Shoshana Dichter & Crew! 45,000 Feet Closer to God! #Blessed.'
As Wilson prepares for a new chapter with the New York Giants—facing a challenging early season against powerhouse teams—his personal circle remains rock-solid. With Ciara by his side and friends like Kenny Dichter in his corner, Wilson continues to align himself with individuals who reflect his integrity and vision.
As REAL JET lifts off, so too does a renewed reminder: Russell Wilson isn't just a quarterback—he's a builder of legacies, both on and off the field.

RJ Mahvash shuts down troll questioning her cricket knowledge after revealing Yuzvendra Chahal played IPL 2025 with three fractures
RJ Mahvash isn't one to stay silent when targeted by online trolls, especially when it concerns cricket or Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal . The content creator and popular presenter recently posted an emotional tribute to Punjab Kings after their defeat in the IPL 2025 final and revealed a shocking detail: Chahal, the most expensive spinner in IPL history, played the tournament with three fractures. But while fans were moved by her post, one Instagram user took a dig at her, questioning her credibility as a cricket fan. Mahvash claps back at troll doubting her cricket background 'She's just grabbing followers in the name of Yuzi. I bet she even started watching cricket recently,' commented a user under her post. The remark didn't go unnoticed. Mahvash swiftly fired back, saying, 'I have been hosting cricket since 2019, your knowledge is nil chotu! Research!' — signing off with a facepalm emoji. Her confident response earned widespread praise, with fans hailing it as a 'savage' and much-needed clapback. In her original post, Mahvash had revealed the extent of Chahal's injuries during the season. 'His ribs got fractured in the second match only and his bowling finger got fractured later,' she wrote. 'This guy played the entire season with 3 fractures!' She hailed Chahal as a 'warrior' and praised his endurance, writing: 'He gave his everything despite the pain. No one can question his spirit.' Praise for Punjab Kings despite final loss Mahvash also took a moment to appreciate Punjab Kings for their journey through the tournament, calling it an 'honour' to support them this year. 'Well played boys,' she added, while also extending congratulations to RCB on their win. While Mahvash is frequently seen with Chahal in social media snippets, she has remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship. In an earlier interview with Yuvaa, she had said: 'I'm very single and happy… I don't go out on casual dates. Just like Ali in Dhoom, I start imagining kids and the future.' Meanwhile, Chahal's personal life has made headlines after his divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma was finalised on March 20 at the Bandra family court. The two had tied the knot in December 2020, and news of their separation surfaced earlier this year.

The greatest players to ever play the game have come through here, and the next generation of the greatest players are coming through here. It just feels a little surreal. It's something that is not really quantifiable about playing in this building. It's fun to be a part of."

Commenting on the same, Brown shared, "We know what that team over there is capable of. We were on the other side of devastation last year. If anybody has the best idea of what they can do, it's us. They took the rings off our fingers last year." Also Read: Connor Brown free agency: How the Edmonton Oilers could lose a valuable asset?

Who was Khadiyah ‘KD' Lewis? Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star dies at 44
Khadiyah 'KD' Lewis has died at the age of 44, her brother, Jamaal Lewis, confirmed the news in an emotional Facebook post. The late reality star rose to fame after being featured on season 3 of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta. Khadiyah died on May 30, and the cause of her death remains unknown. Her funeral service will be held in her hometown of Oklahoma City on June 11, according to an obituary. She first appeared on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 3 as rapper Yung Joc's real estate agent and personal assistant. In Season 4, she returned as Yung Joc's girlfriend and was a part of the show's supporting cast, per The US Sun. The reality star was a business owner of a real estate investment firm, consulting agency and financial services company. Khadiyah described herself as an 'entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, accountant, and branding ambassador' on her Instagram page, where she had 147K followers. In his heartfelt post, Jamaal mourned her sister, writing, 'Been at a lost for words for some days now.' 'And to think that I'll ever have the words to describe the person you've been and the legacy that you left behind would be erroneous,' Jamaal went on, adding, 'Long Live my sister Khadiyah Lewis. You left behind a legacy most individuals can only dream of.' 'Thank you for loving me the way you did and always having my back no matter what. God blessed me when he made me your baby brother and for that I am eternally thankful,' Jamaal continued before concluding his post with, 'You are forever on my mind and in my heart. I love you!' Fans were equally devastated by the news, as one wrote, 'What?! No way and so unexpected.' Another fan added, 'She was super professional in describing and detailing the house for Karlie [Redd] and Joc when she wore the hat of a real estate agent.' A third noted, 'She wore many professional hats. That woman got to the bag,' while one more said that Khadiyah 'had a very eloquent way of talking, I hate seeing people pass away so young.'
