Khaled Mohammed Khaled, or DJ Khaled is a disc jockey and record producer who has rubbed shoulders with some of the greats in the music industry. He helps to support musical artists and also has contributed to several musical genres himself. He gathers musical guest stars together and creates amazing songs.
However, he didn’t always start as an amazing hype man and a person who could bring fantastic stars together. He built his career through connections and as a radio host for the station 99 Jamz. He was the one who got to meet some of the best people in rap and hip-hop before they broke through and made it big. He’s got a fantastic career, and it is a career that deserves to be studied.
The life of fan, entertainment and poker
DJ Khaled has taken over various social media platforms. He’s got thousands of followers on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X. Nearly every piece of content he puts out is positive in some way to lift up his viewers. For example, one interesting encounter on Snapchat was documented when DJ Khaled got lost at sea.
He got lost on a jet ski in the dead of night. However, instead of being angry, he calmed his fears by putting on a show. He shouted motivational phrases, asked people to call for help, and generally didn’t seem bothered by the problem. Instead, he just saw it as a new adventure.
DJ Khaled also shows off his love for playing poker on his social media. He enjoys playing the game to have fun with his friends. He even joined an online celebrity tournament and went against some of his fans, along with other stars. The event even saw him playing with Paul George and Micheal Phelps.
His Desire To Make People Better
From working with some of the biggest stars before they made it big, to his signature ‘Khaled-isms’ DJ Khaled wants people to become the best versions of themselves. This is something he is extremely passionate about. His yelling out ‘We the Best’ isn’t just for show… it’s something he wants to have everyone achieve.
The majority of his social media content is just motivational work and good vibes for all, and it has become a key aspect of his internet personality. Everything from his music to the foundation he has founded is all about improving people. He wants to make people smile, whether that is with his music or with some kind words (often set to his music). There’s just something special about that.
His Collaboration with The Jordan Brand
In 2022, he released his “We The Best” kicks with the Jordan Brand, and created “the largest launch of any collaborator in its history” according to the VP of Jordan Brand entertainment marketing. This was later confirmed by DJ Khaled during an episode of Complex’s Sneaker Shopping.
But his love of sneakers isn’t just about branding. DJ Khaled has been a self-proclaimed ‘sneakerhead’ from birth. He even has a replica of his sneaker closet that people can stay in through the Airbnb website. He has said, “Sneakers are an essential part of Hip-Hop culture and collecting them is an art – just like creating music.”
His connection to shoes and sneakers also allows his fans to show their support whenever they go and wear his shoes!
“God Did”- One of His Best Songs
The 8-minute song sees some of the best artists in the music industry working together for one amazing collaboration. “God Did” has Jay-Z wrapping a verse for nearly five minutes, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, John Legend, and Fridayy all singing the song, and nine writers. This song is a massive undertaking and you can hear how much taken Khaled has. Because he is the one who brought this team together.
The song is a great one, and it is all about standing up. It’s a song about knowing that God believes in you. Even if the entire world or you yourself, don’t believe in what you can do. There’s something comforting about that whether you are religious or not. Plus, the massive rap solo is a delight to the ears.
DJ Khaled Has Worked His Way Up, and It Shows
This music mogul isn’t done yet. He has two kids, a beautiful wife, and ownership in a lot of companies. DJ Khaled is going to keep on going, no matter what the challenge is, with a serious smile. In a world where a lot of people are being put down, there is something about seeing someone bursting with positive energy.
This is why so many fans love DJ Khaled’s authentic and positive personality because it shows in everything he does. It’s not an act, and many fans both recognize and appreciate that.
