“Started from the bottom now we are here,” Khaled said most of the artist he worked with are those that have worked with him just as he was starting out as a producer, and he too worked with them as they were starting out, so they all have mutual respect for each other, they respect the journey they went through to get to where they are now, they work from bottom to be the leader of their respective career, so to Khaled this are not just friend but family, as we all know, family is not just by blood.

People like Jay-z, Drake, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Future are not just his friends, but they are his family. Khaled said he and this artist don’t just collaborate on music together, but they call each other regular to ask for their wellbeing, they do dinners with each other’s family, they even sometimes vacation together, even though don’t need to validate their friendship by posting everything on social media, they are as close as any family can be.

Apart from friends that are like family, Khaled have his own family, his wife Nicole, his two sons, Ashad and Alam who are 5 and 2 respectively, he put them above everything else, they are main reason for how hard he works. In life, it’s the simple and insignificant things that matters, to Khaled, having a family is not something he take for granted, to be able to sit with his family and just BE, does moment when he looks at his children and see the future are blessings that cannot be taken for granted. Despite the busy life of the producer, his family are always part of whatever he does, they are always by his side. Khaled had made a promise to himself to create a life where his family can always be with him.
