DJ Khaled has proposed to Nicki Minaj in a new video. The producer took a moment to explain his love for Minaj before showing off a ring he says he bought for her, a ring said to cost $500,000.  

“I want to be honest with you,” DJ Khaled says in the MTV News video. “I love you. I like you. I want you to be mine. The only reason I’m not telling you this face to face is because I know that you’re busy.” 

Khaled continues by saying that he wants her to know how serious he is.

“You need a man like me in your life that’s gonna take care of you and respect you. You gotta take your time and think about it, I understand,” he says. “But I know I have to be here today to let you know how serious I am and about how serious this is to me. I want to let your fans know, my fans know, my family, your family, that I wanna marry you.” 

Khaled then shows the ring he purchased. According to MTV News, this was a 10 karat diamond ring valued at approximately $500,000. Reports claim he purchased the ring from Rafaello & Co. in Manhattan, New York. The video can be seen below.
