DJ Khaled wants to work with Eminem, Adele, Dr. Dre, and more.
DJ Khaled recently had an exclusive conversation with Us Weekly where he was about his dream collaborations and artists that he would love to work with. DJ Khaled responds and revealed that he would like to team up with the legendary Andre 3000, Eminem, Adele, and Dr. Dre.
In his career DJ Khalid has worked with the likes of Drake, Rihanna, Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Ludacris, Migos, Rick Ross, JAY-Z, Busta Rhymes, Nelly, T.I, Kanye West, Scarface, DJ Premier, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and others. Despite his impressive number of collaborators, the New Orleans-born producer has a few more names he’d want to add to his roster.
“I would love to do a record with Andre 3000,” says Khaled. “I’ve worked with almost everybody I ever wanted to work with. I want to work with Dr. Dre. I worked with Dr. Dre on [Rick] Ross’s project, but I’ve never worked with him on one of my projects, which I would like to work with him on. I never recorded with Eminem. I want to make a record with Eminem. Who else? Adele, I would like to make a record with Adele.”
Check out the full interview below where he also talked about the “I Did It” music video, DaBaby, and Megan Thee Stallion’s feud, and more.
Dre and Eminem recently collaborated in the studio on numerous tracks for Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By, both Side A and Side B. They also collaborated with Kanye West on a remix of “Use This Gospel” lately. Kanye West has yet to release the song.
Khalid’s eleventh studio album is titled Father of Asahd. We the Best Music and Epic Records released it on May 17, 2019. The album includes the songs “Top Off” and “No Brainer,” as well as collaborations with Cardi B, 21 Savage, and Meek Mill. In its first week, Father of Asahd opened at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 136,000 album-equivalent units, with 34,000 copies sold as pure album sales. The album remained at number two on the chart for the second week, collecting an additional 58,000 album-equivalent units.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album platinum on May 17, 2020, for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 1,000,000 copies in the United States. “Higher,” which won Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 62nd Grammy Awards, earned DJ Khaled his third career Grammy nomination.
This is not the first time DJ Khaled showed the desire to work the Detroit Rapper, he has talked several times about his wish to work with Marshall. Back in 2018, when Eminem made an appearance on iHeart Music Awards for a performance of “Nowhere Fast” with Kehlani, Khaled finally got to meet him for the first time. Khaled later sat down with Billboard where he talked about his interaction with Slim Shady.
“I finally met him the other day at the iHeart Music Awards, but I didn’t really get a chance to talk to him, talk to him. I talked to him on the camera, but I’m sure he’s getting the kites, and the next step I think is for me to deliver something that he’ll love to get on. I’m friends with his manager and I’m going to reach out to him and I’m going to send him something. Hopefully, he’ll like to get on it. I just want to make sure when I send it, it’s the one. Throughout the years, I’ve been telling you I’ve been trying to get him on records. I had the ones, but now, I’m working on the new album, so I want to create the new one. Hopefully, he’s willing to work, and again, I’m a big fan. He’s somebody that I haven’t worked with yet, and I would love to pull it off.“
