I wanna thank MTV and the VMAs for choosing me to be a part of the show because, on this show, if you not an icon or upcomin’ icon, you’re not on the show, you know?
Author: DJ KhaledI’m just changing the game because I know what the fans want and the people want ’cause I’m a fan of hip-hop.
Author: DJ KhaledI want more of my favorite artists or more of the guy that makes the anthems. I want more.
Author: DJ KhaledWe want justice, but at the same time, we gotta love and come together and bring unity, and I feel it’s gonna happen.
Author: DJ KhaledWhen it all got taken away, I was becoming a young man. So I had to sacrifice to leave my family… Sleeping in my car, getting an apartment for a month and getting evicted the next month. Staying in the $25, $50 hotels.
Author: DJ KhaledI always wanted to have a headphone line but I feel like I’m going to do more than just headphones eventually, but we want to wake the world up right now with this.
Author: DJ KhaledEven before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they’re going to tell you I’ve been DJ Khaled my whole life.
Author: DJ KhaledFan Luv is a powerful positive movement. All over the world they come. It’s a force of luv.
Author: DJ KhaledIt feels good being a restaurant owner because it’s part of my dreams of being the biggest mogul.
Author: DJ KhaledI would love to work with Eminem, Dr. Dre. I wish I could have been in the studio with Bob Marley.
Author: DJ KhaledI would love to get Rihanna on a Khaled song. That’s my friend, but every time I’m around her, I get shy.
Author: DJ KhaledFor me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it’s love, and I believe that love is the answer.
Author: DJ KhaledWhen my record comes on, you know that’s a DJ Khaled record. That’s my formula, and the people love it.
Author: DJ KhaledMy son is two weeks old today. The minute he came into my arms and looked at me it changed my life. Literally changed my life. When I say changed my life, I mean he showed me love. I thought, I know, the word love, there is no way to describe this love. It’s so powerful.
Author: DJ KhaledWhen you stop making excuses and you work hard and go hard, you will be very successful.
Author: DJ KhaledBefore I went into the studio with Jay Z, Jigga, Hov, I wanted to go to the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn and touch the people and touch the culture.
Author: DJ KhaledYou do know it costs money to put a t-shirt on your back? You do know it costs money to have a house? You do know it costs money to eat? Get money, don’t let these people fool you.
Author: DJ KhaledBasically, I’m one of the greatest producers ever. And I’m also one of the greatest DJs ever. And I’m also one of the best executives ever.
Author: DJ KhaledBasically what I’m trying to tell you is that it’s almost impossible to drive a jet ski at night time unless you’re in a city with lights lit up so you can navigate. Besides being pitch black, that water turns black at night. Listen, I don’t recommend it.
Author: DJ KhaledSome of the guys when they play, they try to keep it a reality. Nah, I need the best everything.
Author: DJ KhaledWhen I turn in my list, obviously every record was important to me. I didn’t just put records on there to put records on there. I was excited that All I Do Is Win could go on there because you hear it at the end of the game and that represents victory. That’s undeniable. You can’t hate on that, it’s impossible.
Author: DJ KhaledSometimes, you might meet somebody that you love that’s turning into a ‘they.’ My key is to invite them to Miami and take them to the ocean and let them jump off the boat in the ocean, on the sand bar, and cleanse off and pray and then go take a shower, and hopefully the ‘they’ is out of you.
Author: DJ KhaledWatch your back, but more importantly when you get out the shower, dry your back. It’s a cold world out there.
Author: DJ KhaledI know that I’ve been put on this Earth to make people happy, to inspire people, and to uplift people. That’s a beautiful thing.
Author: DJ KhaledThe other day the grass was brown, now its green cuz I ain’t give up. Never surrender.
Author: DJ KhaledI didn’t want to be an artist in the same place I worked. You could always have people that might feel like you would do something more for yourself.
Author: DJ KhaledThat’s what we provide you know what I’m saying. When you get DJ Khaled you sound bites. You get documentaries. My interviews will play ten years from now. I ain’t regular like these other people. This is DJ Khaled, this is a special cloth alert.
Author: DJ Khaled“I wanted to see what type of trees is growing in Marcy Projects, what type of water Jay Z was drinking.
Author: DJ KhaledGod has blessed me because I think. No, I know that I’ve been put on this Earth to make people happy, to inspire people and to uplift people. That’s a beautiful thing. But the only downfall about it is that I really don’t have anybody to do that for me. But it makes me super strong because I do know that if I’m having a bad day, I can come up here and make Ebro and y’all laugh and smile.
Author: DJ KhaledThe other day the grass was brown, now it’s green cuz I ain’t give up. Never surrender.
Author: DJ KhaledThem doors that were always closed, I ripped the doors off, took the hinges off. And when I took the hinges off, I put the hinges on the f**kboys’ hands.
Author: DJ KhaledStay focused and secure your bag, because they want you to fail and they don’t want us to win.
Author: DJ KhaledWe go hard. In everything we do we’re going to accomplish our victory and our goal. If it takes a day, a year, or 20 years, we’re going to win. I haven’t taken a loss because everything I’ve done has been a working process to win. From being a kid on them turntables to becoming where I am is not a loss. It’s a blessing.
