Starting with possibly one of the most controversial moments of his career, back in 2014, DJ Khaled made incredibly misogynistic comments on “Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM.”
While joking about his leaked sex tape, the conversation took a left turn when the DJ made a surprising admission about refusing to reciprocate oral sex. Making matters worse, he added that he believed he was allowed to do so as a man, but if his wife, Nicole Tuck, were to do the same, he’d be unhappy about it. In fact, in one pointed comment directed at c-host Angela Yee, he quipped, “It’s different rules for men. We the king. So, there’s some things that y’all might not want to do or want to do. It gotta get done.”
Understandably, the DJ was swiftly taken to task by the show’s hosts. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that his sentiments went viral, and he had many more detractors to contend with. Critics included Dwayne Johnson, who took to X, then known as Twitter, to joke that he felt differently. “As a man, I take great pride in mastering ALL performances,” he wrote. Another major detractor was Nicki Minaj, who rapped about cutting him off and canceling him in her 2018 song, “Barbie Dreams.” True to shady form, though, DJ Khaled never responded.
