DJ Khaled is all about enjoying life, and his latest adventure has seen him attempt to surf — although, it didn’t go quite according to plan.
In a post to his Instagram on Sunday (June 11), the Miami producer was spotted enjoying some fun in the sun while on a vacation getaway. In the video, he tries to hang 10, but unfortunately he fails and crashes miserably.
The “Wild Thoughts” hitmaker has a reputation for being open about his personal life — both positive and negative. So it’s no surprise that he decided to let fans tune in during a recent surfing blunder.
On the other hand, judging by the rest of the clip — which also showed him getting a massage and playing a round of golf — he seems to be doing just fine.
Speaking of golfing, in other related news, DJ Khaled recently announced the launch of his inaugural We the Best Foundation Golf Classic.
In a press recent release, the music mogul revealed the Jordan-sponsored charity event will go down at the Miami Beach Golf Club on July 20. Proceeds will benefit the We the Best Foundation’s endeavors in education, the arts, and more.
“Just to be out on the golf course with close friends and family of mine is a blessing,” Khaled said in a statement. “Giving back makes it even better. I can’t wait to see you all at the first-ever We the Best Foundation Golf Classic.
The festivities begin with a VIP reception with sponsors and special guests on July 19, followed by the tournament the next morning and an awards reception at 2:30 p.m. that afternoon.
DJ Khaled only recently caught the golfing bug, but he can’t get enough of the sport. Last month, he graced the cover of Golf Digest, calling the honor a “dream come true.”
“When I’m done playing golf, and I walk into the studio, I have a clear mind,” he told the publication. “On this new album, a lot of my great ideas came from me sitting on the golf course or me walking the fairway and just thinking
Reneé Rapp is seen as a “huge inspiration” by SZA.
The 25-year-old artist performed SZA’s Good Days in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, accompanied by two acoustic guitarists and a harp player. SZA, 35, was deeply moved by the rendition.
She posted a short video of the moment on Instagram Stories and wrote: “Renee is a HUGE inspiration, energy, voice spirit.”
During her chat with the BBC, Renee shared her thoughts about the track. She said: “I mean, I love SZA. I mean, she was one of my favorite artists in high school. And she's remained one of my favorite artists to this day. I think she's amazing. She's also, I mean, she's an incredible songwriter, but I think because she has so much swag. People don't realize how good of a singer she is. She's a fantastic vocalist and is really, really, really articulate. And I don't cover a lot of songs anymore. So I wanted to cover something that was, like, slightly challenging and also really vocally impressive, and frankly, hard for me to do.”
Renee is currently in the middle of promoting her second album, Bite Me, and opened up about how much more enjoyable it was to create compared to her first project.
She explained: “I mean, I feel like everything was incredibly different. I stopped listening to people that don't make music, because if you don't make music, then why the hell am I listening to you. And I also think the biggest difference, I think I just got a lot better. I think I have just become a better songwriter. I think I understand how to make pop music now in a way that I didn't really before. And I was very sure about what this album was and thematically, what it needed.
“So I felt like I was quite like, headstrong in like, what was gonna work and what wasn't. Because, nobody knows something better than yourself. I think a lot of things were different. I also just, like, had a lot of fun making it, like, I made it with like, three people, mostly, like, it was always like, four of us in the studio all the time, and we got so close, and some of us were already so close. So it was also just like a mess. It was such a mess, like we were just tweaking every day. It was so fun. And I don't think I enjoyed making the first one as much.”
