The picture made its way to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, where a Filipino user commented that Khaled appeared to resemble a choco butternut munchkin.

Dunkin’, a donut company, sells this snack, known as a munchkin.

“Bakit ‘yung damit ni DJ Khaled parang choco butternut,” user @flowerkidyjh wrote with a loudly crying emoji.

Khaled was wearing a matching orange-and-black outfit of a long-sleeved shirt and shorts.

He also completed his look with orange-tinted eyewear.
