Netizens troll DJ Khaled for being carried by his security personnel

On Sunday, February 25, DJ Khaled was slated to perform at a concert near South Beach, Miami, and he promptly arrived at the beach in his Maybach. He had to walk from his vehicle to the ATV that would ride across the beach and drop him at the stage. However, he did not want to get his brand-new Air Jordans dirty and requested:

"I don't want to get my Jordans dirty. Can I get everybody to help me?"

Two of his security personnel then promptly carried the record producer as he held onto their shoulders. Khaled thanked the guards as they placed him in the ATV awaiting him. Khaled then said from the back of the ATV:

"We 'bout to light the whole stage up!"

Once Khaled arrived at the venue, the two security guards promptly showed up once again and carried him, this time dropping Khaled off at the steps backstage.

Khaled shook their hands, thanked them for their help, and grabbed the microphone. He then stepped onto the stage and was greeted by loud cheers.

DJ Khaled posted the sequence of events on his Instagram account and received criticism from netizens, who took pity on the security guards and claimed that they didn't get paid enough for this. People called Khaled "lazy" and mentioned that he should have taken off his shoes and walked instead as they took to the comments section of his Instagram post.
