KUALA LUMPUR – After making a buzz with a music festival appearance here, renowned American DJ and producer Steve Aoki was spotted casually dining in a local shopping mall in the city.
Accompanied by several individuals believed to be his crew and friends, Aoki was spotted at a Madam Kwan’s outlet in Pavilion KL by TikTok user @azrhazhr recently.
In the 12-second video which has gained at least 700,000 views, the 46-year-old Aoki was seen enjoying a local delicacy while being video recorded by crew members.
In the video’s caption, @azrhazhr said that they took a second ride up an escalator to record Aoki in the restaurant.
Some commenters on the video believed Aoki was having a serving of nasi lemak, while others were envious of @azrhazhr’s once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a famous celebrity.
Aoki, whose real name is Steven Hiroyuki Aoki, was in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend to headline the Out of the World (OOTW) music and water festival, a three-day event from January 19 to 21, 2024, at the iconic KL Base in Sg Besi – an unforgettable locale for water enthusiasts and music connoisseurs alike.
Aoki made a return to Malaysian shores after nearly a decade, igniting fervent anticipation among fans eagerly awaiting the resurgence of his dynamic stage presence.
The festival also marked the Malaysian debut of James Hype – a musician whose technologically innovative DJ skills have propelled him to viral fame – as well as the DJ duo Nervo. – January 22, 2024
