DJ Khaled lands two GRAMMY® nominations, one in the Best Rap/Sung Performance Category with his song “Higher” featuring the late Nipsey Hussle and John Legend, as well as Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media with “The Lion King: The Songs” by (Various Artists), where his produced track “Mood Forever” was featured. This makes DJ Khaled a four time GRAMMY® nominated artist, with “Higher” coming from his highly successful 12^th studio album, Father of Asahd.

On his second nomination where Khaled produced “Mood Forever” which was featured in the “The Lion King: The Songs by (Various Artists)”, Khaled joyously proclaims “I also had the honor and privilege of working with the Queen, Beyoncé on her masterpiece, “The Lion King: The Songs” with “Mood Forever”. God is the greatest! Very Grateful! Asahd my son has his first Grammy Nomination! Asahd we did it! Tears of Joy! We the Best!”
