DJ Khaled is facing backlash for his recent stage entrance, where he had two security guards carry him to avoid dirtying his beloved Air Jordans. The talented Grammy award-winning producer took the stage at the 2024 South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami this past weekend. In a video shared on his Instagram account on Monday, February 26, Khaled can be seen requesting the assistance of two security guards to carry him from one vehicle to another and then onto the stage, all in an effort to keep his sneakers spotless for his performance.
"I really don't want to ruin my Jordans, can I get some help?" Khaled can be heard asking the guards in the video. "Thank you, brothers. I really appreciate it," he adds with gratitude. As he is carried into the back of a four-wheeler, Khaled turns to the camera and reminds everyone, "You know you can't mess up the Js." The vehicle then takes him closer to the stage, where the guards continue to carry him to the staircase, ensuring his kicks don't touch the sandy ground.
While some of his followers found the whole ordeal amusing, many were quick to scold Khaled for going to such extreme measures to accommodate his lavish request. "I have lost all respect for you! This is ridiculous and childish behavior from a grown man," one user expressed their disappointment. "He talks so much about God and then acts like this over a pair of shoes. It's ridiculous!" Another user, news analyst Roland Martin, suggested a simple solution, "Why not just wear some sandals and put on the Jordans before walking onstage?"
Others accused Khaled of being too lazy to walk to the vehicle himself, telling the Miami native to come down from his high horse. However, Khaled seems unfazed by the criticism. In fact, his video highlights his stellar performance, which included a special appearance from Rick Ross. He also teased two new songs with Drake, which will be featured on his upcoming album, in the caption of his Instagram post.
Despite the backlash, Khaled is staying true to himself and his lavish lifestyle. As he previously shared in an interview, he takes pride in being hands-on with his own money and decisions. So, while some may criticize his actions, Khaled is simply living life on his own terms. And at the end of the day, he's still making hits and entertaining his fans, which is what really matters.
