Watch: DJ Khaled Plays Guitar Horribly, Gets Destroyed on Twitter
On one hand, I’m trying to imagine what I would do if I were gifted an instrument I didn’t know how to play by Bob Marley’s family. I’d likely not even attempt to play it out of reverence and embarrassment.
On the other hand, I’m only an amateur musician, but I’m sure I could easily plink out something semi-intelligible on just about any instrument you put in front of me.
DJ Khaled — who is a professional musician, DJ, hype man and record producer — did no such thing when given a brand new Guild guitar by the family of the most legendary reggae artist of all time, strumming the thing violently with his full hand like a toddler in what’s got to be one of the most horrendous guitar performances ever recorded on video.
Worth considering: is this stunt a marketing ploy by Guild? The exposure this video generated for their A-20 Bob Marley Dreadnought model has been cosmic! And at only $399 each, they stand to move a ton of these low-end acoustics to fellow beginners like Khaled.
Shortly after the video went live, the roast parade on Twitter swung into full effect, and the internet let him have it. We’ll share some of the highlights below along with the original offending video.
