DJ Khaled

DJ Khaled is a probably the biggest sneaker head in the music game aside from Fat Joe, but the man took his love of footwear to another level this past weekend when he showed just how much he loves his exclusive black versions of the J Balvin Air Jordan 3 “Medellin Sunset”‘s.

In an Instagram post that he threw up on Sunday (February 25), DJ Khaled showed how much his sneakers mean to him when he had his security team carry him from his limo to the back of a pickup truck so he could avoid getting sand on his rare Air’s. Simply saying “I don’t want to get my Jordans dirty. Can I get everybody to help me?” his team air lifted the Hip-Hop heavyweight to “safety” to ensure his Jordans remained clean. Luckily for the two men carrying him from point A to point B, the truck was only a few feet away but you could see it was still a lowkey struggle for them to help Khaled keep his feet fresh if even for only a few seconds.

As sneakerheads, we understand. As human beings, we have to question if these men are getting paid enough to cover medical expenses for possible back injuries or something (no shots).
Though DJ Khaled is one of the few celebrities to own a pair of the black J. Balvin Air Jordan 3’s, the sneakers are supposed to release sometime in 2024, so get ready to hold that “L” cause these will fly off shelves when they drop.

While many entertainers, athletes and executives tend to have accountants and financial advisors handle the money in their riches, DJ Khaled actually likes to take the helm of his own bank accounts and we can understand why he feels that’s the best option for himself.

In a recent interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay, DJ Khaled opened up about his distrust of accountants and money managers as he feels that he’s better off keeping an eye and what’s going in and out his pockets as opposed to relying on someone else to do that for him.

“I have a rule. If you pay for everything yourself, you notice you’re paying too much for stuff, right?,” Khaled told Sharpe. “The balance got to always go like that, so if I touch that, that means it got to be replaced that hour, no more than two weeks, right? Okay, that’s just a rule in my life. Now, if I notice I’m paying so much, if I let somebody else say, oh to pay the bills, you’re not going to notice it in real time because it gives you a harder time to fix it. While I’m paying all these bills traveling, vacation, my mom’s bills, my house bills, you know, shopping, the chef, the kids.”
Obviously DJ Khaled has a lot on his plate and a lot of mouths to feed, so we gotta give it to him for taking on that mammoth responsibility of making sure every penny is accounted for. That cannot be easy for one man. Still, he’s not trying to throw accountants and money managers under the bus, but he prefers to make sure that only his hands are the ones counting his duckets. Being that he saw how his homie, Fat Joe had his own issues with accountants allegedly stealing stacks from right under his nose, Khaled is doing what he can to avoid the same “mo’ money mo’ problems’ hassle that Joey Crack had to go through.
Said Khaled, “We could talk all this big business manager, and no disrespect to all you beautiful business managers out there, I don’t want to mess up your hustle, but I’ve heard a lot of crazy stories, right, and there’s no way in the world I’m letting somebody have the power to touch the hard work, no way.”
We’re not even mad at that.

Living in Miami, Florida, we know that DJ Khaled is living his best life. And while we know he loves himself some swimming pool action, we didn’t know the man was into surfing—even if he’s not the best at it.

Taking to Instagram to share a video of himself attempting to ride those unforgiving waves (there was no waves), the God Did producer shared a not-so-gnarly way to enjoy the sport as he basically face planted into the ocean while trying to get his Kelly Slater on. It. Was. Hilarious (sorry, Khaled).

Unfortunately, surfing while not knowing how to surf does have its consequences. Khaled shared a video of himself being treated for the bumps and bruises he suffered out in the water. You’d think a man who can twerk underwater like a mermaid (or merman) would be able to hang ten with the best of them, but the man basically hung himself and paid the consequences.
Luckily for him, he’s paid enough to treat his “injuries” and shared a post showing exactly how he recovers from the unforgiving sport. Showing himself getting a massage following his crash-and-burn out in the waters, Khaled said his golf game was off due to his surfing injury. In the caption he wrote, “I tried playing today but I had cut the game short I injured my self surfing 🏄‍♂️ yesterday. So I thought I could play through the pain . So I’m get a massage and call dr make sure I’m great . But nothing going stop me from playing golf ⛳️ I’ll be back on the course Tomorrow hopefully the pain will go away . If not I’m okay through the pain till I defeat the pain ! love is the only way ! LETS GO GOLFING.”

We can’t say we’ve seen too many surfers/golfers out there who dabble in both sports who can co-sign Khaled’s assessment of how playing in one sport might impact how you play in the other, but DJ Khaled could very well be the Bo Jackson of these arenas. So we’ll have to take his word for it.
After sharing a video of himself getting X-rays, Khaled shared another one (get it?) and explained that the doctors told him he had a big bruise and actually might’ve fractured a bone but will have to run more tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Well, at least he’s good enough to hit those golf courses.
Check out the videos below and let us know if Khaled should leave surfing to the pros or continue on trying to be Aquaman out this b*tch.

With the American outrage following the shocking and controversial merger between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s LIV Golf Tour, DJ Khaled saw an open lane and has announced that he will be hosting a golf tournament later this month with the help of Jordan Brand.

Complex is reporting that the producer/motivational speaker announced that the We The Best Foundation Golf Classic will be going down next month in Miami, where DJ Khaled and his celebrity friends will be competing for charity. Arguably the most boring game in existence, golf has become the sport of choice for millionaires and high rollers. So y’all know some big names will be involved in DJ Khaled’s charity golf game later this month.
Complex reports:

“Just to be out on the golf course with close friends and family of mine is a blessing,” Khaled said in a press release. “Giving back makes it even better. I can’t wait to see you all at the first-ever We The Best Foundation Golf Classic. We’re starting something very special here while introducing the sport of golf to a wider community.”
If this were to be televised, it would be the one golf game that heads on the block would probably tune into depending on who was competing. Jay-Z? Kevin Hart? 21 Savage? DJ Khaled’s celebrity guest list is hella long, so you can only imagine who’ll be participating.
The We The Best Foundation Golf Classic will begin at 9:30 a.m. on July 20 and conclude around 2:30 p.m. depending on who gets busy and who struggles. We just hope Khaled doesn’t twerk should he end up in the winners circle when it’s all said and done. Just sayin’.
Check out Khaled announce the festivities below, and let us know if you’d tune into this joint if it was streamed or televised in the comments section below.
