Leonardo DiCaprio had been called out for ignoring a traditional Fiji reception as he checked out of a hotel in Nadi this week.
In a video posted to TikTok, the 50-year-old Hollywood actor was spotted leaving the hotel when staff lined up to perform a cheerful farewell serenade.
Leonardo, dressed in black clothes and sunglasses, appeared to take a phone call after arriving to the foyer as hotel staff waited to farewell him.
The Titanic star then quickly dipped his head down and rushed past the crowd to an awaiting car.
Many fans criticised Leonardo for not acknowledging the people singing to him, with some calling his behaviour ‘disrespectful’.
‘Leonardo – Should’ve acknowledged the Fiji welcoming party,’ one person said.

‘Don’t waste your energy my Fiji [family], he’s so disrespectful,’ another commented.
‘At least he should have acknowledged the welcome by our country. No place like Fiji,’ a third agreed.
‘He totally ignored the welcoming effort,’ one fan said while another wrote: ‘Not even a thank you or a wave.’
Some even accused Leonardo of ‘pretending to take the phone call’.
However, others defended Leonardo’s low-key departure, with one writing: ‘Maybe it’s his first time in Fiji… Just let him be.’
‘The staff need to use their common sense and realise A list celebrities hate attention like this in public,’ someone else said.
‘Well at least they know not to do it again and respect his privacy,’ another person added.
The trip comes after Leonardo celebrated his birthday with quite the A-list guest list, including Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg.

The bash was held at a private estate in the Hollywood Hills, but the actor utilised the help of an exclusive members-only club to ensure the festivities remained private, according to Page Six.
Leonardo had guests cover the cameras on their phones with stickers from the San Vicente Bungalows.
The 500 guests at the bash used stickers to cover up their phones, but organisers had 700 stickers on hand just in case.
Numerous guests came straight from the evening’s early Baby2Baby gala. ‘Basically, the Baby2Baby group all went to Leo’s after,’ the insider said.
Leonardo also recently celebrated his first anniversary with 26-year-old model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.
She is the first long-term girlfriend to break ‘Leo’s Law’ and survive his 25-year-old ‘cut off’.
His romances with the likes of Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Blake Lively, Erin Heatherton and Nina Agdal all ended before their 25th birthdays.
Before Vittoria, he spent five years with TV actress Camila Morrone who starred in Amazon’s hit musical drama series Daisy Jones & The Six, but ditched her just weeks before she turned 25.

Then came a brief fling with model Gigi Hadid (an ‘ancient’ 27) who was rapidly followed by 23-year-old starlet Victoria Lamas, prompting her father, actor Lorenzo Lamas, to quip: ‘I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday. Enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts.’
The relationship imploded after a couple of months.
Leo met current girlfriend Vittoria at the Cannes Film Festival in May last year but the pair reportedly did not become serious until around 12 months ago.
The producer said: ‘He and Vittoria seem happy but she’s ‘old’ by his standards. Perhaps she’s the one who will finally get him to settle down? I doubt it.’
