DJ Khaled embraces family as the true measure of success.
DJ Khaled has undergone a profound transformation in his outlook on life, shifting his focus from status and streams to the importance of family.
Following the birth of his first son, Asahd, who is now 6½ years old, the music producer experienced a significant shift in perspective, recalling the words of JAY-Z, who had once predicted this change.
Speaking to Variety in a recent cover story interview, the 47-year-old artist shared, "It's all for them. Every single thing — the house we're living in, the cars we drive, the watches, the music … JAY-Z told me, 'Wait till you have a kid — that's when life really starts.'"
He went on to explain, "And as soon as my kids were born, my life changed. Not just these blessings, but also my mentality. Money doesn't define success. Money doesn't define being a mogul. To me, true success is being happy."
Khaled, who is in a partnership with Nicole Tuck, is the proud father of two sons, Asahd and Aalam, aged 6½ and 3½ respectively.
