DJ Khaled’s New Manager Is Jay Z.
DJ Khaled is suffering from a near-fatal case of success these days and there’s no road to remission in sight. Not long after scoring his own slot on Beats 1 Radio, the We The Best boss is now being managed by none other than Jay Z. Khaled made the major announcement in a typically theatrical video, in which Hov crowns him with the last original Roc-A-Fella chain in his collection. To further whet our appetites, the clip also features roughly eight seconds of new Jay Z raps.
It’s unclear whether Jay is individually managing Khaled or he’s just signed to Roc Nation management (he has a habit of overstating things). Also interesting is the tech company rivalry sub-plot to this new partnership (Khaled recently aligned with Apple Music while Hov is the part owner of TIDAL). In any case, chalk this up as Another One™ in Khaled’s win column.
