While on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in Brooklyn, Khaled talked about what kind of party he is throwing for his birthday as well as hurricane relief efforts and jet skiing with Amy Schumer. Khaled said, “His birthday is Oct. 23, and speaking of him being the executive producer, the album that he’s executive producer on went platinum in two months. It went gold in two weeks. My biggest album, and my son is my biggest blessing. It’s changed my life, man, I’m happy. I love that boy.”
He also talked about how Diddy will assist with the birthday celebration and said, “It’s gone be big. You know, if it’s a big party, Puff Daddy gotta be involved. So me and Puff were talking, and we’re gone do something big for Asahd.” We can’t wait to see what happens at this celebration.
