BRITISH DJ and producer Jax Jones is suffering a social media backlash after he posted a massive €22,000 bar bill on Instagram.
The You Don’t Know Me and Where You At, star has been accused of flaunting his wealth after he posted a receipt from a hotel in Santa Eulaia, Ibiza which included five bottles of Dom Pérignon Vintage champagne (at €850 a pop), nearly 50 bottles of Moët Chandon (each priced at €250), as well as numerous other wines and cocktails.
Jones was reportedly partying with fellow musicians Jason Derulo and Joel Corry, with whom he is collaborating on a new song.
The photo quickly went viral, with many fans hitting out at Jones for his ostentatious display of wealth.
Some pointed out that the amount he spent on a single night’s booking is more than many people earn in a year.
“One Instagram user commented: I love your music, but I don’t think it’s a good look to brag about how much you spent on a night out when people in this country are struggling to make ends meet.”
Another said: “This is just tone-deaf. There are people who can’t afford to put food on the table, and you’re spending this much money on champagne?”
Jones has not yet responded to the backlash.
