DJ Khaled tried to have an innocent IG Live session when glamour model Sophia James tried spicing things up with a bit of twerking. He quickly shut her down.

Usually, when models share split-screens on Instagram Live with famous artists, not many entertainers are shutting them down when they try to show off their bodies. Yet, when DJ Khaled was on Live with model Sophia James, he didn't want any part of her twerking. In a clip that has gone viral, Sophia is shown pouring water on herself and positioning her camera to show off her backside and breasts. Immediately, DJ Khaled told her to stop because he's a family man. "Just talk to me normal!" he yelled at her while avoiding his eyes.

Now, Sophia James has reportedly spoken with The Shade Room about her uncomfortable encounter with the mega-producer. “I respect DJ Khaled and his beautiful wife and family,” she told the outlet. The model added that she was under the impression that Khaled was hosting a Live that would be parallel to the booty-shaking shenanigans over on Tory Lanez's Quarantine Radio. Since her clip with Khaled has circulated, Sophia claims that she's been harassed online.

“I’m more than sure to bank his marriage is stronger than an IG live video gone viral," she added. Sophia also stated that there have been plenty of people who have slid in her DMs, including a few rappers that she said have been "featured on some of DJ Khaled’s recent albums."
