DJ Khaled is known for sharing major keys and wins on social media, but you have to give him credit. He’s not afraid to share an epic fail.

The “Wild Thoughts” creator revealed to his followers that he hurt himself in a video featuring himself getting a massage. In the caption for the post, the super producer 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 Tommorow 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.”

In a subsequent post, Khaled showed his fans epically wiping out on the surfboard before hitting the links and the massage table, writing in the caption for the post, “ALL CATEGORIES LETS GO 🏄‍♂️ ITS OK TO BE HAPPY !”

DJ Khaled Is Not Letting His Injury Keep Him Off The Golf Course
Despite revealing to us he is not the best when it comes to surfing, Khaled still made sure to enjoy himself before the arrival of his inaugural We The Best Foundation Golf Classic, sponsored by Jordan Brand. Proceeds from the golfing event went to We the Best Foundation’s efforts in education, the arts, and more.
“Just to be out on the golf course with close friends and family of mine is a blessing,” Khaled said in a statement. “Giving back makes it even better. I can’t wait to see you all at the first-ever We the Best Foundation Golf Classic.”

The inaugural golf tournament starts with a VIP reception on July 19 before the action heads to the green on July 20.

DJ Khaled is securing all the bags. On Thursday (Feb. 9) in Miami Beach, the social media savant, entrepreneur and Grammy-winning artist announced numerous partnerships for his We The Best company that includes ventures with Def Jam, Snipes, Jordan Brand and more.

After a video intro from Sean “Diddy” Combs, DJ Khaled stepped into Mr. Chow for an hour-long press conference going over his agenda for 2023. The assembled Def Jam execs in the building was the first hint that Khaled’s We The Best Record label was partnering with Def Jam. It’s full circle for Khaled whose last five album were released via Epic Records and who used to be a label executive at Def Jam South.

“This new chapter marks a special time for me,” said Khaled from the stage. “The energy at this point in my career is at an all-time high and I’m grateful to Sir Lucian Grainge for allowing me to join his empire at this stage in my journey. Together, we will achieve even greater heights and take it to the next level. I feel blessed and so inspired with renewed energy. I’m excited to not only partner, but to come back home to Def Jam.”
Def Jam execs Tunji Balogun and LaTrice Burnette, who use to be his product manager, spoke excitedly of reuniting with Khaled. “We coming to f*ck shit up basically,” said Khaled after all the Def Jam news was delivered.
There was still plenty more to share as the renowned sneaker collector ran down plans for more shoes with Jordan Brand (his batch of Air Jordan 5’s sold out in minutes late last year) and SNIPES. For the latter, SNIPES CEO  Sven Voth announced that this summer will see the opening of a We The Best SNIPES superstore in Miami Beach. Jordan Brand will also continue to donate funds to the We The Best Foundation to further its support of Black communities.
To cap things off, Khaled and his We The Best Foundation received keys to the city from two mayors (Miami and Miami Beach). God Did, indeed.
