DJ Khaled says he’s got “love” for “VERZUZ,” but he won’t be participating in a battle: “I’ve been battling my whole life.”
DJ Khaled has created some of the biggest hits we know today, including “Wild Thoughts,” “All I Do Is Win,” “No New Friends,” and more. And he’s worked with some of the biggest stars in the music industry like Beyoncé, Jay Z, Drake, and Lil Baby. His large jam-packed music catalog and longevity in the music industry seem to be one of the reasons why he wouldn’t join a VERZUZ battle with anyone.
During an appearance on Drink Champs, Khaled explained his impact on the music industry is a standalone act that he’s blessed to have.
“Anybody that’s ever asked me that, I always said that. I’m never backing down on that talk. I’m sayin’; I’m not doing a VERZUZ, I got love for VERZUZ. I’ve SoundClashed my whole life. I’ve been battling my whole life, trust me. You know, I’m at a point right now, you know, I’m blessed. You blessed, you blessed, we all blessed…but when it come down to battling and VERZUZ and all that, I’m more of a fan of it because I used to SoundClash my whole life,” said Khaled.
He continued: “You gotta respect my catalog! I respect the question, I respect how you came at it and I get it and I respect it because I come from that. Like, EFN will tell you, I’m a Sound boy, I’m a Sound killer. No, I kill sounds…I don’t think you understand. That’s how I came in the game, killin’.” DJ Khaled reminds everyone that it took a lot of hardwork for him to get to where he is now, “Nobody ever gave this shit to me, like, ‘Khal, here’s a door open, we want you to win.’ Stop. This hard work.”
