When asked about conflicts involving Drake, Ross, and Future, Khaled didn’t hesitate:
“I didn’t get in that energy. There’s two energies I’m not gonna get in. Hate,” Khaled said. “Those are my brothers. You can’t question my friendship. How? It’s impossible. Ain’t nobody like motherfucking DJ Khaled. When it come to me … I’m gonna tell my brothers we gotta represent love. A lot of this shit is a misunderstanding and a lot of ‘not communication,’ okay? … When it come down to DJ Khaled, I’m the one that’s gonna try to fix it. I don’t want no trophy. I don’t want no promotion. I do a lot of shit behind the scenes. At the end of the day, I love my brothers and my brothers know that. I guarantee you they know that, that’s what I’m about. Everything’s possible with God, okay? … And I believe in God and I roll with God. They ain’t believe in us, God did. … Joe, take it how you wanna take it. I’m about unity, peace, love, and I’m, and when it come down to music, Jada, I’m a collaborator. That’s what I do.”
