LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: DJ Khaled has received the moniker of “part comedian” from his fans after he posted a hilarious video where he asked his security guards to carry him to the stage so his pair of Air Jordans do not get soiled.

Recently, the Grammy-winning musician shared a video on his Instagram where he asked his two security guards to carry him from his car to another vehicle and then to the stage so that his Nike sneakers remain spotless for his performance at the 2024 South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami.

The clip starts with Khaled - who is cautious of getting his shoes dirty - asking his guards to assist him, per People.

The ‘Lean Back’ singer was heard saying, "I don't want to get my Jordans dirty. Can I get everybody to help me?" As his two security guards approached to help him, he showed his appreciation and said, "Thank you, brothers. I appreciate it."

The clip continued as the two men carried him to a small vehicle with a truck bed and open hood for him to stand. He was heard saying, "Can't mess up the Js.”

After the vehicle carried the record producer to an area near the stage, the two guards reappeared again to lift him.

They carried Khaled and got him down at the base of the stairs for his entrance. He then thanked the duo and went on to greet his fans in the crowd. 

Once on the stage, he, however, moved without any hindrance and delivered a power-packed performance in front of his eager fans. The ‘Wild Thoughts’ star was even joined by a special guest Rick Ross.

Tagging his We Da Best record label, he wrote, "new album in the works.”
