During a discussion with Adrian Hernandez, WWE performer Kofi Kingston voiced his perspective on interactions with fans outside of official event settings, specifically addressing behaviors he deems overstep personal limits. Kingston outlined scenarios where he feels individuals cross a line from fan support to disrespect.
He elaborated on fan expectations: “Do not talk to me. Do not think that because you bought a ticket that you have the right to shake my hand. Do not come up to me and say, well, I bought a ticket to the show, so I should be able to get a picture, and you are obligated to come over to me. That is not true. I do not have to do that. Do not come over and try to shake my hand and try to take a picture with me early in the morning when I am trying to go to work.”
Kingston also commented on the role of social media in such encounters: “If I am sitting in first class, when you are on your way to last class, do not sit there with your camera and do a thumbs down so you can get a little viral show and go tweet that stuff out. Then do not like people, do not like the pictures and posts, when people post disrespectful pics like that, do not like them because you perpetuate that. You perpetuate the negativity.”

Concluding his points, Kingston referenced his professional standing while asserting his right to privacy: “If I am in my everyday life, going to work, doing what I want to do, if I am hanging out with my family, I do not need you to tell me how much I suck. Because look here. (gestures to championship) Look here. You see this? You see it? You see that? You see that? That means that I do not suck. So do not come across as a liar when you tell me that I do. When I am on the top of the mountain with my boy, Xavier Woods, one half of the WWE World Tag Team Champions. We are your boys, The New Day.”
