DJ Khaled caused a stir when he insisted on being carried from his car to the stage at his Miami Beach gig to avoid dirtying his Nike Jordans. The 48-year-old rapper, known for his lavish style, made the request as he arrived for the performance after meeting fans at a sneaker and streetwear store. In a video shared on Instagram, DJ Khaled can be heard asking for assistance to preserve his sneakers, exclaiming, “I don’t want to get my Jordans dirty, can I get someone to help me?” His bodyguards promptly lifted him from his car to a truck and then onto the stage.

In the same post, DJ Khaled teased his upcoming collaborations with Drake for his next album, hinting at two new tracks. Despite his excitement, the stunt received criticism online, with some calling it a display of “rich ignorance” and others questioning the timing during Black History Month. Children’s author Ty Allan Jackson joined the critics, stating that celebrities should act more responsibly.

This incident follows another recent encounter where DJ Khaled was pulled over by a police officer while driving a golf cart near his Miami residence. Known for his love of golf, DJ Khaled shared his passion for the sport in an interview last year, emphasizing its spiritual connection and how it enriches his life.
