DJ
Khaled
Promises
To ‘Get
Back
To
The
Hits’
On
New
Album
With
Drake’s
Help

February
19,
2024

Despite
the
prestigious
accolade,

the
“God
Did”
hitmaker
was
recently
criticized
for
his
silence
on
the
ongoing
war
in
Gaza
that
has
seen
over
30,000
Palestinians
killed
and
another
nearly
two
million
displaced
during
the
conflict
with
Israel.

Khaled,
whose
parents
were
born
in
Palestine,
was
slammed
by
businessman
and
alleged
cousin
Fadie
Musallet
for
not
using
his
large
platform
to
speak
about
the
humanitarian
crisis
in
the
country.

“Unfortunately,
y’know,
everyone
has
their
reasons,”
Musallet
said.
“But
there’s
no
reason,
there’s
no
excuse
when
you’re
actually
a
Palestinian.
For
me,
my
mother
lives
there,
y’know
what
I
mean?
We’re
from
the
same
village,
same
families,
so
there’s
no
excuse.”

He
also
suggested
that
the
two
had
fallen
out
over
the
issue:
“[Khaled
and
I
are]
not
speaking
right
now
because
it’s
all
about
Palestine,
and
if
you’re
not
talking
about
Palestine,
get
out
of
my
life.”
