NBA fans outraged DJ Khaled spends insanely expensive Knicks-Spurs game ‘on his phone’

Maybe when DJ Khaled said “I’m on One,” he meant his cellphone.

The record producer and famed DJ was sitting on celebrity row sandwiched between rapper Fat Joe and former NFL head coach Jimmy Johnson for Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs at the Garden.

But Khaled, as shown on the ABC broadcast, appeared to be spending plenty of time on his phone while the action was going down.

It didn’t sit well with a number of users on social media.

“DJ Khaled sitting courtside on his phone all night is making me irrationally angry, ” Christopher Powers, a senior writer at Golf Digest, wrote on X.

“DJ Khaled won’t get off of his phone sitting court side and it’s really making me angry,” Dana Beers of Barstool Sports chimed in.

Another user speculated on what Khaled was really doing while sitting in prime real estate at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

“DJ Khaled went to MSG to answer emails,” they wrote.

Tickets to the game were the most expensive ever for an NBA Finals contest, with get-in prices starting at four figures.

Before the game, Khaled shared a video of himself with Yankees great Alex Rodriguez and a picture that included himself, Fat Joe and Rev. Al Sharpton.

Khaled was far from the only celebrity on hand for the Knicks’ first NBA Finals home game since 1999.

Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Timothée Chalamet, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Spike Lee and even President Donald Trump were all in New York to see the historic game.
