DJ Khaled flamed by fans for wasting prime Knicks-Spurs NBA Game 3 seat on phone

The NBA finals are currently on, and the Knicks vs. Spurs are the talk of the town. On Monday, Jun. 8, 2026, the Spurs secured the victory over the Knicks by winning the game 111-115. In a match considered by many on the internet as extremely thrilling, both the USA President Donald Trump and DJ Khaled possibly held different opinions.

While Trump was allegedly dozing off at the game, DJ Khaled was caught spending time on his phone while sitting in a prime seat. Sandwiched between rapper Fat Joe and former NFL head coach Jimmy Johnson for Game 3, he preferred going through his phone rather than watching the game. However, this moment was caught on camera and instantly went viral on the internet.

As soon as the picture started spreading like wildfire, fans also started grilling DJ Khaled for his actions. “Man paid probably $10k+ for courtside at a Knicks Finals game after 27 years and still couldn’t put the phone down,” wrote one fan. While another one commented, “He wants to see if people are talking about him.” Another fan on the internet decided to give a reality check, “Sad state of the world with everyone plugged in non-stop crazy be in the moment ya’ll.” “DJ Khaled won’t get off of his phone sitting court side and it’s really making me angry,” Dana Beers of Barstool Sports also added.

The tickets for the Spurs vs. Knicks Game 3 were some of the most expensive NBA finals tickets ever, with some seats starting at four figures. Apart from DJ Khaled, several other celebrities were also in attendance, including Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Timothée Chalamet, Derek Jeter, Spike Lee, and many others.
