DJ Khaled’s emergence in the music industry dates back to his early days as a radio host for 99 Jamz in the 1990s. Since then, he has become a successful record executive and record producer.
Fat Joe started the ceremony and recalled how he and Khaled’s friendship began 25 years ago.
“When I met him, he made me move out of New York to Miami. When I think of Khaled, I think of love. That’s the only reason why you see the heavyweights here like you see them.”
The pair have collaborated on many tracks together, including “All I Do Is Win,” “Holla At Me,” and “Pride N Joy.”
Diddy also took a moment to say a few words about Khaled and his hard work.
“You’re a pioneer; you’re an icon and a brilliant businessman. But most importantly, you’re a great friend to all of us here…Your energy and your work ethic is unmatched; we celebrate you for everything,” the Bad Boy founder said.
DJ Khaled joins a star-studded roster of 2022 Hollywood Walk Of Fame recipients, including R&B artist Ashanti, who received her star on Apr. 7.
