Music mogul. Producer. DJ. CEO. The hip-hop Quincy Jones. These are just some of the terms DJ Khaled used to describe himself when interviewed by talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres recently. The social media phenomenon (just named one of Time’s 30 most influential people on the internet) was on Ellen’s show discussing his recent partnership with Apple Music, his positive outlook on life, and who “they” are. Anyone that follows Khaled on Snapchat (djkhaled305) knows his snaps are full of inspirational quotes, celebrities, and his famed “keys to success.” Feeling inspired after watching his Ellen interview, I decided to spend a day following some of Khaled’s best-known keys to determine if they can actually benefit by life.
