DJ Khaled has been honored for his contribution to the game with a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

The We The Best CEO had some hip-hop legends on hand to join him in his induction to the exclusive club. Jay-Z, Diddy, and Fat Joe congratulated DJ Khaled during the ceremony on Monday (Apr. 11). 

Jay-Z and Khaled exchanged words and warm smiles during one of the longest-ever handshakes. He was also surrounded by his family – his wife Nicole and their two sons Asahd and Aalam – while collecting the honor.

DJ Khaled explained what the star means to him during an emotional speech as Jay-Z and Diddy watched from the front row. “I’m not a regular type of person, I’m a different type,” he explained. “There’s only one Khaled… I want my star to represent the light, the love that shines on everyone. God put me on earth to be a light.” 

Khaled continued: “The room can be pitch dark and when I walk in it’s bright. When it’s dark I’m the light and when it’s the light I’m a brighter light… So I want everyone to take this star light and know that this is forever and this is for all of us… That’s why I always say we’re the best and scream and keep going because it’s not just me, it’s we.”
