“They never wanted me on The Ellen Show, and look at me, I’m on! And this the number one show. Mama, I made it!”
Some only know DJ Khaled as hyping the tracks with “DJ KHALED!” or “WE TAKING OVER!” without even spitting a verse. But of course when Ellen Degeneres asked Khaled what was it exactly that he did (career wise), Khaled made sure to silence those that have been asking the same question for quite some time now.
“Well, you know, I’m a music mogul, I’m a producer, I’m a DJ, I’m an executive, I’m a CEO and I’m an artist. I put anthems out every year for the last ten years. I put some of the biggest anthems out, No. 1 records like “I’m on One,” “All I Do Is Win.” You know what I’m saying? The list goes on. “Hold You Down.” I’ve done records with Jay Z. By the way, Jay Z is my manager now. I am like the hip-hop Quincy Jones, but I’m a CEO, too. I’m an entrepreneur, I’m a young mogul. I’m blessed.”
The interview continued with Ellen asking who “they” is, Khaled took it upon himself to explain it in further detail.
“Please Ellen, stay away from them. Stay away from ‘they,'” the young mogul advised her. “‘They’ is the person that told you you would never have The Ellen Show. They is that one person in the room when you get a raise, and that one person in the corner is like, “Man, I hate that person.” ‘They’ are the people that don’t believe in you, that say that you won’t succeed. So we stay away from ‘they.'”
If you follow Khaled on his Snapchat (@djkhaled305) you’re most likely familiar with his “they don’t want you to” series.
The interview concluded with Ellen handing out some gifts, and Khaled adding another video to his Snap.
Don’t play yourself, stay away from “they.”
