But upon hitting his tee, Khaled was satisfied with the improvement. However, what did the fans make of his new swing? Among a plethora of comments, some lauded the rapper for his improvement. “Not too shabby, Mr Khaled!” one user said, while another commented, “That swings looking a lot better.”

However, others were less praiseworthy with their words. “Can Khaled even make a full swing with that gut?” one said, while another one replied, “I swear dj khaled has been golfing for some time now. He still doesn’t got it.” A netizen went as far as commenting, “Dj kahled shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as John.”
However, a netizen summed up the pointless criticism of Khaled’s swing perfectly. “People criticizing a non-golfer, like most of you, for picking up the game and shadowing a golf legend, as if he’s unworthy. Bunch of lames,” the user said.
