‘Disrespectful’ DJ Khaled slammed for making bodyguards carry him so that he didn’t ‘mess up’ his sneakers

DJ Khaled is facing backlash for making two security guards carry him so that he didn’t “mess up” his Nike Air Jordan sneakers while walking over sand.

The music producer, 48, was slammed by fans after posting a video of the incident to his Instagram Monday while promoting his upcoming album.

In the clip, Khaled opened up his car door, looked down at ground and then waved over his security personnel.

“I don’t want to get my Jordans dirty,” he said while standing up. “Can I get everybody to help me?”

Two men then came over to stand on either side of the “All I Do Is Win” rapper as they hoisted him up, placing their arms underneath his legs.

The pair guided Khaled from his luxury vehicle and into the back of a pick-up truck, which took him to the beach-side stage.

“Thank you brothers, I appreciate it,” he said as they set him down. “Can’t mess up the Js.” 

Once he arrived at the concert space, the same guards lifted him out of the bed of the truck and — once again — carried him to the stage’s steps.

Khaled thanked the men before making his way out to greet the hundreds of waiting fans with his hit “All I Do is Win.”

Despite showing love to the bodyguards, Khaled’s comment section was flooded with disappointed followers who called him out for being “disrespectful.”

“That’s the stupidest thing I have seen!” one user wrote. “Get off your f—king high horse.”

“Lifting 400 [pounds] wasn’t in the resume,” another joked of the security guards, as a third agreed that the “guards don’t get paid enough for that.”

“I have no respect for you! This is ridiculous that a grown oversized man would do this,” a fourth chimed in. “He talks so much about god and behaves like this over a pair of shoes. Ridiculous!”

However, they had to carry him once again after getting to the stage. Instagram/@djkhaled “Can’t mess up the Js,” he explained. Instagram/@djkhaled

“How about wear some damn sandals and put on the Jordans before walking on stage?” someone else suggested.

This isn’t the first time that Khaled has been in the hot seat for seemingly putting himself first.

Back in 2018, the rapper was slammed online after admitting that he would never perform oral sex on a woman because he believed it was beneath him.

“A woman should praise the man — the king,” he said in a resurfaced “Breakfast Club” interview. “If you holding it down for your woman I feel like the woman should praise. And a man should praise the queen.”

Fans slammed the rapper for being “disrespectful” by making the men carry him. Instagram/@djkhaled “Get off your f—king high horse,” one follower wrote. Instagram/@djkhaled

He continued, “But you know, my way of praising is called, ha-ha, ‘How was dinner?’, ‘You like the house you living in? You like all them clothes you getting? I’m taking care of your family, I’m taking care of my family…’ You know, I’m putting in the work.”

When asked if that means he doesn’t take care of women in the bedroom, the rapper replied, “I don’t do that.”

However, he also said that it would be unacceptable if a woman ever decided that she didn’t want to preform oral sex on a man, saying that there are “different rules for men.”

His comments didn’t sit right with many fans — and celebrities — who spoke out against Khaled.

“As a man, I take great pride in mastering ALL performances,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wrote on X at the time. “This is probably a little TMI.. I will now quietly excuse myself from this fun thread.”

“Westworld” star Evan Rachel Wood also replied an article about Khaled’s controversial comments, saying he was “missing out.”

“Take it from someone who has pride and thoroughly enjoys pleasuring women,” she wrote. “You should grow up.”
