DJ Khaled, the American disc jockey and record producer is under fire for his reaction to his son, Asahd, winning Student of the Month at his school. The proud father got up from his seat and walked to the front where he gave his son a congratulatory hug in the middle of the ceremony.
The teacher presenting the award seemed to be taken aback by the sudden display of affection. She spoke into the mic, saying:
"Oh... Okay! Okay... It starts at home dads, so I'm glad you are there."
Fans, however, are not pleased with the DJ's interruption during his child's school event, as some believed he took his son's spotlight:
