It's being vandalized due to a possible police pursuit he is in. Snowboarder2713 (talk) 08:12, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Until we get confirmation from reliable sources, we should hold off on it being the article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:17, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

KCAL news confirmed it almost 15 minutes ago now.

KCAL news has not confirmed it. They are just reporting that they are receiving phone calls from people saying that they believe it to be him. They have not confirmed this. Snowboarder2713 (talk) 08:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, let's leave that for the top section, not here. Does anyone else here feel like the talk page needs protection? I think most of the nonsense has stopped. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

If it's stopped, then we don't need it. It was just getting really bad for a while. Snowboarder2713 (talk) 08:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

It's typical though. Wait until the news about who it actually is hits. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

It's funny, once I heard it on KCAL I immediately thought, uh oh, the IPs are going to go nuts on Wikipedia and I submitted a report to RPP requesting semi on the articleas quickly as possible, though immediately there was absolute pandemonium on this page. I fear that no mattter what happens this page is still going to be an anon ip target Valley2city^‽ 09:13, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Car Chase

DJ KHALED IS ALIVE. LAPD HAS ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING IT WAS NOT HIM INVOLVED IN THE CHASE. DJS MIAMI PUBLICIST HAS ISSUED A STATEMENT SAYING HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE. STOP THE EDITS!

Has it been officially confirmed that the suspect in the "Bentley Car Chase" (2/10/09) in Los Angeles is in fact DJ Khaled? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.167.253 (talk) 08:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

No, KCAL in Los Angeles has named him as the possible suspect. BaShildy (talk) 08:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

It's not confirmed, but KCAL9 is speculating that it is. Goodralph (talk) 08:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any speculation of identity (either as DJK or any other name mentioned) in either relevant story on the KCAL9 webpage at this time. Best to wait until we actually have a specifically-citable RS about this. DMacks (talk) 08:29, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Your speculation that it is him based on a picture isn't enough. We should be able to get some confirmation in a little while. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:24, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I removed the comment with the link. Even talk pages have to follow the rules at WP:BLP. Killiondude (talk) 08:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

On Feb, 9 2009 he led on a chase. Police are following a white Bentley with Illinois license plates. The driver is allegedly wanted for assault with a deadly weapon.

This pursuit began at about 7:55 p.m. on the 4000 block of Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood, near Universal Studios. The vehicle drove south on the 101 Freeway through downtown and into Commerce, where it exited the freeway, turned around, and then drove North on the 5 Freeway. Eventually it transitioned onto the 405 Freeway and has gone through the LAX area, and has driven across downtown.

The vehicle has maintained very slow speeds approxmately 30 to 40 miles per hour, and often signaling before making a lane change. It has stopped at intersections and red lights, obeying most traffic laws.

The Bentley slowed to a stop on northbound Lankershim Blvd. in Universal City. Then the trunk of the car opened, but there was no further movement. ABC7's camera caught a glimpse of the suspect in the driver's seat. The driver could be seen wearing sunglasses and talking on a mobile phone, and he appeared to be holding a handgun.

We still don't know who that is. Let's get that first and then deal with a description. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

He's dead. Watching it live. mms://a352.l5671334351.c56713.n.lm.akamaistream.net/D/352/56713/v0001/reflector:34351

• He was taken away on the stretcher without the EMTs performing any life-saving measures. This means he's dead, as EMT is required to give oxygen to a living patient. Maybe it's not DJ Khaled, but whoever it is, is dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.156.43.23 (talk) 09:09, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, whoever is in the car appears to be dead...but you don't know if it's him yet. It sounds like it is, but just wait on it.President David Palmer (talk) 08:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

http://media.myfoxla.com/live/2/ MyFoxLA said it was DJ Khaled. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adevandry (talk • contribs) 08:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

EMT's do not have to give oxygen to a living patient. There are times when you can kill a patient with oxygen. If their body is using secondary chemo receptors and are on high flow o2 for a sustained period of time, their breathing rate will eventually decrease and can kill them. 169.232.116.251 (talk) 21:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Self-inflicted. The person on MyfoxLA video feed said (thinking she was off the air) that is was DJK earlier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adevandry (talk • contribs) 09:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)(Adevandry (talk) 09:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)) The 12:35am PST time that is stated on the Wikipedia page is incorrect. It was more like 12:53am, when the SWAT officers approached the passenger side of the car and you could see them flinch at the same time (assuming that was the gunshot). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adevandry (talk • contribs) 09:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Someone on his official Myspace has signed on. Hes online. Im waiting on a confirmation or denial bulletin..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thricey5685 (talk • contribs) 09:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

From his Myspace: This is DJ Khaled and due to recent press and news reports I feel compelled to release a statement. Just to be clear I am in Miami, FL working on Rick Ross' album, Deeper Than Rap. I am not in LA where there are reports that I have been in a police chase. These reports are completely false and unfounded.

DJ Khaled We The Best Music —Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanguy (talk • contribs) 09:45, 10 February 2009 (UTC) That doesn't mean it's him writing that. Maybe someone who maintains his MySpace page.(Adevandry (talk) 09:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)) I mean, really, you think he's up at 4:50am (in Florida now) editing his Myspace? I'm sure he pays someone to upkeep it for him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adevandry (talk • contribs) 09:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Him being a "celebrity", if you are reported to be dead, i am sure he will get up a 4:30 a.m. to clear up those rumors...nowadays, myspace is among artists' biggest media outlet to reach out to people... just sayin'

The burden of proof is to find a reliable source that it is him, not speculate on whether some random individual would hack into his myspace page to issue a false statement that it wasn't him. I wouldn't be surprised if people he knew were calling him asking what's up. So, I'll be glad to archive this whole section in the morning. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:00, 10 February 2009 (UTC) LATimes.com is reporting the man as "A businessman of Pakistani origin" -- so it would not be DJK. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-bentley-pursuit11-2009feb11,0,7473572.story(Adevandry (talk) 10:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC))

Beef with G-Unit?

The article about Young Buck mentions DJ Khaled, and talks about how Khaled more-or-less dissed 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Read the article for more info; I think that information would be good here too.

--Josh1billion 22:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

is this guy actually a dj?

putting DJ in front of your name doesn't make you one —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.7.183 (talk) 17:42, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Khaled is the DJ for Terror Squad (which is why Fat Joe shouts out Khaled's name during the end of "Lean Back") and for a Miami hip hop radio station. Which might mean that he spins the turntables for live performances.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 22:29, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

173.66.11.52 keeps trying to add ... Obviously, this shouldn't be in the article, for the following reasons: 1) Contains no reference/citation as to where or who Khaled has come under fire from for saying this word. 2) Implies that if Khaled were black, he would be excused for using this word (opinion/original research). Please keep an eye out for this guy. Alg8662 (talk) 16:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Criticism

DJ Khaled is often criticized for many reasons, but chief among them is the structuring of his tracks with too many guest performers. In addition, he doesn't really have a role on any of his albums, with the exception of talking ad libitum over many of the tracks (which many have expressed their grievances with). This lack of any real talent has left him to be the butt of a multitude of negative publicity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyczecho (talk • contribs) 02:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I believe that should be Screaming ad libitum over many of the tracks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.192.11 (talk) 00:02, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

"The next singe, "I'm On One", featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, was released on May 20, 2011."

Snapchats

I don't want to edit anything without permission, but DJ Khaled has become very well known recently for his snapchat stories. If you google "DJ Khaled snapchat", there are about 973,000 results (0.50 seconds) (according to google). I'd be happy to add a section, but I don't think that I can. If an administrator could please respond to me, I'd really appreciate it. Schuddeboomw (talk) 16:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Famous quotes

Following on from his snap chat publiciticy, DJ Khaled has become recognised for a number of quotes. These include: 'they' 'another one' 'we the best' 'Lionnn' 'The key is to make it' 'Major Key alert' 'major cloth alert' “You smart! You loyal! You’re a genius!”

His has also started to sell merchandise including shoes, shirts and jackets with his quotes on them under the 'we the best' clothing line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kerkster999 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Khaled#1975.E2.80.932003:_Early_life_and_career_beginnings When pressing this link, you will be sent to DJ Khaled's biography from 1975-2003. The second sentence says, "Khaled has described himself as a devout Jewish.[8]" However, this is false because the reference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Khaled#cite_note-larryking-8) to the Vice article clearly states "Larry asks Khaled about his Muslim faith, to which he responds that he is devout, but could do a better job at it. He prays more than ten times a day, whenever he walks in and out of a room." It is obvious from this that he is not a devout Jewish, but a devout Muslim. I couldn't edit the page because it is protected and I just made an account. I don't know who wrote this and created reference 8, but they obviously had a fundamental misunderstanding of the Vice article and the exchange between Larry King and Khaled. InfiniteJackOatmon

Recurring collaborators split page?

This may sound unneeded, but what if we split the recurring collaborators section into its own article, and instead of listing just those who have appeared on three albums, what if we added those who have appeared on two as well? Maybe we could even add every single collaborator? Foxnpichu (talk) 15:04, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

I would perhaps add it to the discopgrahy, it seems the most relevant there. Personally I would question its notability, as it seems largely original research to me. Karst (talk) 15:07, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

It may be slightly inaccurate as well. Foxnpichu (talk) 21:27, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Add Jay-Z to the frequent collaborators list for 3 if we are including remixes

The songs are : They Don't Love You No More Go Hard (Remix) I Got The Keys

Also remove Ace Hood's X under a major key album feature and lower the count.

This line is the 4th sentence under Biography and under the subsection: 1975–2003: Early life and career beginnings

Khaled starting developing an interest in rap and soul music at a young age and his parents supported his interest.

Please change starting to started, so the line reads as follows: Khaled started developing an interest in rap and soul music at a young age and his parents supported his interest. Singhsa.1976 (talk) 09:29, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done! Thanks for pointing that out. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 09:47, 11 December 2016 (UTC).

Semi-protected edit request on 29 October 2017

In the BET Awards section, the link for DJ Khaled's single "Shining" does not point directly to the song's page; instead, it leads here: Shining. Since I am a new editor, I cannot change this, as the article is semi-protected. Contribute2day (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

I do not mean to be intrusive, but I have changed the title of the section. To get someone's attention, write a title like the one above. Andwhat58490 (talk) 20:36, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

 Done! Thank you for those details! Every875 (talk) 22:19, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Recurring collaborators encyclopedic?

This seems exactly trivia, like a fan collection, and per WP:INDISCRIMINATE should be removed. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

@Karst, Chasewc91, Foxnpichu, Lawsilly, Elhenzo, and Distortiondude:

Removing a large section which has been a part of the article for years should have been discussed first.

Recurring collaborators tables provide a good overview of the work of the artist. There are many examples of articles where they have been used, such as:

• Danny McBride#Frequent_collaborations
• Jonathan_Chik#Frequent_collaborators
• Michael_Bay#Frequent_collaborators
• Martin_Scorsese#Frequent_collaborators

Sometimes they are the subject of entire articles:

• List of frequent David Lynch collaborators - featured list
• List of frequent Tim Burton collaborators
• List of frequent Coen Brothers collaborators

The reason musicians' articles don't have such lists is that it is rare for a musician to have an extensive list of collaborating musicians spanning across most of their albums, which is the case with DJ Khaled.

Claiming WP:INDISCRIMINATE means all the articles above should be deleted as well. As for original research, all the information is easily verifiable (just go to each album's own page). 2Flows (talk) 09:16, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Just because X has a list of recurring collaborators doesn't mean Y should. For example, there are numerous third party sources that discuss recurring Lynch and Burton collaborators and the significance of it on their body of work. Where are such sources for DJ Khaled? Chase (talk | contributions) 15:47, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

There is no need for such sources for a summary section in an article. Notability guidelines do not apply to content within an article. Whether this is notable to be a stand-alone list does not matter, because this is not a stand-alone list; it just provides an overview of the work and collaborations of the artist, which is a good summary to have in the article. 2Flows (talk) 01:17, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Pitch Perfect 3 Appearance

Hi. I recently added mention of DJ Khaled's appearance in the movie Pitch Perfect 3, but then someone else reverted it right away with no explanation. I don't understand what happened, or what I'm supposed to do now. Can I put that back? I thought he was great in that movie, and it was really awesome.

Arab?

His name is martin jr. the third. Is he Arab? VarunRajendran

He is Arabic.His name is Khaled.His old nickname was the "Arab Attack".User:Meccareal

^^Yeah, He changed his stage name from "Arab Attack" after the 9/11 attacks. Schuddeboomw (talk) 16:26, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

He is an marocan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesisis (talk • contribs) 20:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

His name is Khaled Bin Abdul Khaled, not just Khaled Khaled.

He is Palestinian Yarajadallah (talk) 15:03, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Origin

DJ Khaled is still Palestinian even if he lives in America. Therefore I think that it should be changed to “Palestinian American” Yarajadallah (talk) 15:06, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Muslim

Can anyone confirm that he is actually a Muslim? Being Palestinian doesn't automatically qualify. — 07:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC) Hizrael

He is a muslim, check out his newest album cover, he has an Allah chain written in arabic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.16.157 (talk) 07:53, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Anybody could have an Allah chain written in Arabic; it doesn't automatically qualify, either. --Geniac 15:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes but to have a chain like that, in islam it is a significant part and shows his beleif in his religion, therefore does qualify, it would be disrespectful for a non muslim to have an Allah chain, also, DJ Khaled is of Palestinian descent, 80% of Palestine is made up of Muslims, therefore that leaves enough evidence to qualify that Dj Khaled is a Muslim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wakash1 (talk • contribs) 09:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Not true Arab Christians also call GOD, ALLAH. ALLAH Is Just Arabic For GOD —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sayge-01 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

YES, BUT CHRISTIAN ARABS DONT WEAR ALLAH CHAINS

Muslims aren't supposed to wear jewelry by that standard he isn't muslim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.190.102 (talk) 08:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually male Muslims aren't supposed to wear yellow gold jewellery, not jewellery in general. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.192.11 (talk) 00:00, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

^^^^ Arab Christians, especially in the Middle east DO refer to God as Allah, it is simply the Arabic term for God, it does not determine their religion.

He did an interview and it was asked what race he was from, he replied that he was Arabic and Muslim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wakash1 (talk • contribs) 14:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Muslim allegations

Arab Muslims, Christians and Jews alike use the word Allah for God, HOWEVER, only Muslims wear Allah chains, that is specifically a determination of the Islamic religion. --67.80.174.252 (talk) 03:19, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

To get the facts straight, read the articles on Allah and Arab American; note that most Arab Americans are Christians, but only about 20% are Muslims. To determine Khaled's religion we need a source that says "Khaled is [religion]", not your own guesses.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 22:41, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

That's correct, but since we are bringing up the article on Arab Americans and saying that only 20% are Muslims, that is mostly due to the large population of Lebanese (the breakdown by region is in the article and the supporting website). The data for Palestinian Americans in the article and support shows that they are overwhelmingly Muslim. I agree that religion should not be mentioned unless there is a source which explicitly states it. I just want to point out that the Arab American argument is flawed due to the large number of Lebanese Christian immigrants who came to the US in the early 20th century who make up the majority of Arab Americans. 208.255.169.2 (talk) 15:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Recent Palestinian immigrants are mostly Muslim however overall the Palestinian immigrants to this country were historically overwhelmingly Christian. In addition, it is not specifically the Lebanese immigrants who account for the large Christian Arab population in the USA, Syrians, Palestinians and Egyptians also account for much of this population.--66.147.177.155 (talk) 15:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, common... He has muslim name and Allah chain, that's enough to say that he is a born-muslim. Arab Christians don't give muslim names to their kids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.134.34.20 (talk) 23:21, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Christian or Jewish Arabs do not say Allah. They say Illah which means God in Arabic. SharabSalam (talk) 05:28, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

DJ Khaled Bio should include HIP HOP FEST' 98 at Bayside Amphitheater on August 28, 1998
