DJ Khaled recently discussed how he manages conflicts.
On a podcast with Fat Joe and Jadakiss, he spoke about tensions that arose between Drake, Rick Ross, and Future in 2024. The feud reportedly stemmed from personal disagreements and competition within the music industry, sparking public speculation and media attention.
“I’m the one out of the crew that always says ‘Yo, we don’t need that.’ We need to come together, we need love… At the same time, we don’t wanna slow up the money,” Khaled said. “I love Drake, I love Ross, I love Future… Those are my brothers, you can’t question my friendships.”
Khaled has collaborated extensively with all three artists. With Drake, he produced hits such as For Free, No New Friends, and I’m On One. His work with Rick Ross includes Fed Up, All I Do Is Win, and Hustlers, while collaborations with Future feature tracks like Shining, Dope Dealer, and No Complaints.
Earlier this year, Khaled announced that Drake would appear on two songs from his upcoming album Aalam of God.
In response, Drake said, “Must be @drakebell.” The remark led fans to speculate about the current status of Khaled’s relationship with Drake, with some questioning whether there had been tension or a delay in their collaboration. Shortly afterward, Khaled deleted the album announcement and has not shared an updated release date.
Throughout the 2024 feud, Khaled remained neutral, emphasizing that he prioritizes relationships and avoids taking sides publicly. His approach demonstrates that it is possible to maintain loyalty and professionalism simultaneously, keeping friendships intact while continuing to produce music with top artists.
