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., ABC News reported.

It was meant to fly to London Luton Airport in Luton, England, but the incident has prompted an emergency landing, ABC News reported.

That landing was supposed to happen at Teterboro airport in New Jersey, CBS News reported, but the FAA confirms it has now diverted to Westfield Barnes Regional Airport in Massachusetts 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.

Holding for 45 more min until landing.

That's what they said awhile ago. Looks like it's dropped about 2,000 feet in the last couple minutes and is no longer in that same loop. Maybe it's go time.

Shep just said it has been circling for 4hr20min. I wonder if he was pranked to say that, but if jet had fuel to fly to London, how long does it have to circle to burn enough to land?

They did a low speed flyby of some airport so the tower could visually confirm which wheels were out.  I think they confirmed both of the left tires are out. Landing in 9 minutes or so.

It's times like this where we need to remember the words of Ron White.

 

Hey man, if one of the engines goes out, how far will the other one take us?"

"All the way to the scene of the crash! Which is pretty lucky, because that's where we're headed! I bet we beat the paramedics by a good half hour! We're haulin' ass!"

Burning fuel for 10 more minutes and then attempting landing.  They've already done a practice run for visual confirmation that 2 left tires are blown.

That thing had to have left TEB at or very near MTOW with 16 people on board plus the fuel to get to London.
