Jessica Simpson usually travels in style with a large entourage including her ever-present BFF/hairstylist Ken Paves. But her people deny reports that the singer traveled to Kuwait in full-on diva style.

Reports claim Simpson, 27, flew to Kuwait – where she’s performing for troops as part of Operation MySpace – via a private jet with hairstylist-to-the-stars Ken Paves and a large entourage, and had no intentions of spending the night in the army barracks.

Not so, says Simpson rep Cindi Berger. “She flew commercially, she is staying in the barracks,” Berger tells PEOPLE. “She’s been with the troops all day. She’s had her meals with them. She’s not with Ken Paves. She has significantly scaled back her entourage. This was done purely to support the troops and entertain them.”
