DJ KHALED CATCHES HEAT FOR HAVING BODYGUARDS CARRY HIM TO NOT 'MESS UP' HIS AIR JORDANS

DJ Khaled is catching some flack for a video the music producer shared to his Instagram on Monday.

In the video, the Grammy winner has two of his security guards carry him from his car to a nearby truck and then to the stage in order to keep his Nike sneakers clean for a performance at the 2024 South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami.

"I don't want to get my Jordans dirty. Can I get everybody to help me?" Khaled, 48, asked from his personal car as two security guards approached to assist him. "Thank you, brothers. I appreciate it."

"Can't mess up the Js," the Miami-based DJ said as he was loaded into the back of a truck, which transported him to a spot near the stage.

Once at the stage, the same guards lifted Khaled up once again and carried him to the stairs for his entrance. He thanked the men before walking out and greeting his fans in the crowd.

Some commentators joked that, as fellow sneakerheads, they wished they could keep their shoes that clean, while others noted that the security guards "are strong!"

But overwhelmingly, the comments lashed out at Khaled for the display.

"Bob Marley would of just walked out to the stage barefoot lol," one user quipped, while another questioned why Khaled didn't wear sandals and "put on the Jordans before walking onstage?"

"Guards don't get paid enough for dat," a commentator noted, receiving over 7,500 likes.

A fan wrote, "Honestly Khaled i think you deserve all your success and achievements in life…you are a real inspiration…but this time you took too far…and I don’t care if this was some kind of a joke or if you thanked them…or if this was just about the Jordans…it’s wrong in so many ways to share this…it’s disrespectful to the guards…they are not slaves…"
