DJ Khaled Explains Why He Didn’t Get Involved in Drake’s Feuds With Future & Rick Ross: ‘Those Are My Brothers’
Beef isn’t on the menu for DJ Khaled. The We The Best mogul joined Joe & Jada for an episode on Thursday (Sept. 11), where he explained why he didn’t step in when Drake was feuding with Future and Rick Ross last year.
“I love Drake, I love [Rick] Ross, I love Future,” Khaled responded to Fat Joe’s questioning. “What it feel like I didn’t get in that energy. There’s two energies I’m not gonna get in: hate.”
Joe followed up: “How do you deal with hate, brother?” Khaled fired back as if it was a rhetorical question: “I don’t.”
Khaled continued: “And then when you speak about all those great legends you just talked about… Those are my brothers. You can’t question my friendship. How? Ain’t nobody like DJ motherf—ing Khaled. Joe, you know that.”
DJ Khaled chalked much of the feuding up to a “misunderstanding” and a lack of communication, but he ultimately would “love” to be the common thread between the parties and squash the beef.
“A lot of this sh– is a misunderstanding and a lot of not [communicating]. And that’s what it be about. When it comes down to DJ Khaled, I’m gonna be the one that tries to fix it,” he added. “I love my brothers and my brothers know that. I would love to squash it.”
Khaled has an extensive collaborative history with Drake, Future and Rick Ross, and it remains to be seen if any of the trio will make an appearance on his Aalam of God album.
Back in February, Drake seemed to play dumb when Khaled revealed he had a pair of Drizzy tracks slated to land on his album. “Must be Drake Bell,” the 6 God wrote on social media.
Khaled has kicked off his Aalam of God rollout with a pair of singles. The first being “Brother” featuring a clash from Post Malone and NBA Young Boy, and a dance hall-tinged track titled “You Remind Me,” which features a line-up of Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, Kaylan Arnold, Mavado, Rorystonelove and Vybz Kartel.
