DJ Khaled Face: Timed Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for an interview while waterskiing and wearing his “We The Best” face mask because why not?
But the 44-year-old mega producer wouldn’t describe their conversation as an interview, per se. “This is definitely the first interview I did, or I would call this a celebration, on a FaceTime, on a jet ski … Yes, yes, we are definitely celebrating!” He is currently preparing for the release of his 12th album. Khaled Khaled, a body of autobiographical work of the same name as his real name is Khaled Mohamed Khaled.
In typical DJ Khaled style, he not only packed an important key, but two Biggest cues when he dropped a couple of singles assisted by Drake “POPSTAR” and “GREECE” last Friday (July 17). Despite pausing album mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he is resuming his work and ready to start hitting with some “knockout” hits.
“I’m going out Khaled Khaled more through the process, through implementation. You know what I mean? And this was a way to come with two keys. My first and last name are the same. It is true. Two keys there too. I have two children, “he said to Lowe with the waves casually breaking behind him.” And when I was talking to Drake, you know what I mean? I thought, ‘I want to hit him with a knockout.’ That’s what I asked him. I said, ‘I want to hit him with a knockout.’ “
But their evolution of hits together, from “I’m On One” with Rick Ross and Lil Wayne in 2011 to “No New Friends” (also with Ross and Wayne) and “For Free”, both in 2013, was not the only one What brought them together this time (“He had always been the same to me, which means he does what he wants to do, he does what he wants to do and he’s going to be great,” said the Canadian rapper). The Toronto birthplace of Khaled’s second son Alealam reborn that pop star feeling for the DJ.
“When ‘POPSTAR’ was created, I went to Toronto and my son was born,” he recalled earlier this year. “My son was born and I flew straight to Toronto right after my son was born on the same date. Do you know what I mean? It was something special to me, you know what I mean? Being the pop star? Stars We have been pop stars. I mean, we pack all the arenas, we pack all the stadiums and the people. We represent culture at the highest level. “
But he has one more star that he has his eyes on for another success: Megan Thee Stallion. “I mean, yeah, this is the right Zane Lowe show … I’m going to be honest with you … you know, Megan and I, we have one. Yes, we cook something.”
