Leonardo DiCaprio is being criticized after a video showed him ignoring a traditional Fijian farewell song at a hotel in Nadi. The video quickly went viral on TikTok, and many people were upset, calling the actor rude and disrespectful.

The incident happened on November 20 when DiCaprio was leaving the hotel. A group of hotel staff had gathered to perform a traditional farewell song for him. DiCaprio, wearing a dark cap, tracksuit, and sunglasses, seemed to be talking on his phone and walked right past the performers. He didn’t stop to acknowledge them or their performance, which upset many people. Some thought that he should have at least waved or said thank you to show respect for the culture and the effort the performers put in.

One person commented, "He didn’t even recognize the welcome," while another said, "At least a quick wave or thank you would have been nice." Many people felt that by not acknowledging the performance, DiCaprio was being disrespectful to the Fijian tradition.

The criticism grew on social media. Some Fijians were very upset and said, "Don’t waste your energy, my Fiji whānau, he’s so disrespectful omg." Others made fun of him for what they thought was a fake phone call to avoid talking to anyone. One person wrote, "Haha, the old 'fake call' act. Gets in the car, drops the phone."

This all happened right after DiCaprio visited Fiji. A few days before, on November 9, he had a big birthday party in Los Angeles. The party was very fancy, with a guest list that included many famous people like Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, and Paris Hilton. However, the party upset some of the neighbors. They complained about the loud noise and the traffic caused by the event. There were even videos of neighbors expressing their frustration about how the party disturbed their peace.

As more people criticize DiCaprio, many are questioning how much he respects the different cultures and communities he visits during his travels. They feel that he should be more mindful and show more appreciation for the people and traditions around him.
