DJ Khaled has done it again. After the anticipated collaboration with rapper Drake seemed to fizzle out, Khaled found a new partner in the most unexpected of places – actor and musician Drake Bell.
DJ Khaled is known for his ability to make waves in the music industry. When Drake, the rapper, seemed to step back from Khaled’s upcoming album, many thought the buzz would fizzle. However, Khaled took a surprising twist by connecting with actor and musician Drake Bell, best known from the hit TV show ‘Drake & Josh.’
This unexpected move was sparked after Drake, the rapper, left a cheeky comment suggesting it must be ‘@drakebell’ in Khaled’s social media announcement about his album. The post went viral, leading Khaled to take it down, but not before Bell seized the opportunity by tweeting to Khaled to reach out.
Less than a day later, Drake Bell released a new song titled ‘MIA,’ featuring some classic DJ Khaled ad-libs. Whether this was a strategic publicity stunt or a spontaneous collaboration remains a mystery, but it certainly kept the conversation going.
The history between DJ Khaled and the rapper Drake dates back to 2011 with their hit ‘I’m on One.’ Over the years, they crafted a series of successful tracks together, becoming synonymous with chart-topping collaborations. However, despite the rapper’s initial involvement in Khaled’s new album, it seems Bell has temporarily stepped into the spotlight.
Khaled’s upcoming 14th studio album, ‘Aalam of God,’ already stirred excitement with its cinematic trailer featuring Hollywood stars Anthony Ramos and Mark Wahlberg. Khaled refers to this as his ‘black album,’ echoing JAY-Z’s concept, yet it may not be his last after all.
In the roller coaster world of music collaborations, DJ Khaled proves once again that he knows how to keep fans and critics guessing. By turning a viral comment into a surprise partnership, he demonstrates his knack for making moments matter, ensuring his presence stays firmly in the spotlight.
