Jay Z signed DJ Khaled to Roc Nation management. The news was made public when DJ Khaled posted a video of the Rap mogul presenting him with a Roc-A-Fella chain at a J. Cole concert in Madison Square Garden.
“I don’t have an original one,” Jay Z says of the chain. “I don’t own an original one like at all. Zero. This is my last one.”
“God is great,” DJ Khaled responds.
Jay Z also gave a Roc-A-Fella chain to J. Cole when the North Carolina rapper’s Dreamville label signed with Interscope.
DJ Khaled took to Instagram today (February 29) to share his thoughts on joining Jay Z’s Roc Nation.
“Allow me to reintroduce myself!!!!” DJ Khaled writes, referencing Jay Z’s “Public Service Announcement.” “Meet my manager. His name is Jay Z. Jigga. Hov!!! Special cloth alert! The blessings coming in have been overwhelming. So much blessings I needed the right team to help me embrace it right. And when I say embrace I mean brand partnership. When two special cloth brands come together history gets made. I’d like to thank fan luv for walking with me thru the journey of more success. They don’t want us to win!!!! So what we gonna do is win more. When I say we, I’m talking fan luv! I’m talking my brother Lenny S! Always seen my vision !!I’m talking Chaka!! I’m talking JIGGA NATION!!!!! I’m up to something. I will never stop!!! I will not lose JIGGA VOICE!!! Ride with me thru the journey of more success. God is the greatest! Bless up. #WeTheBest #JAYZ #Rocnation @wethebestmusic JUS KNOW IM WORKING ON NEW MUSIC !!”
Roc Nation also took to social media by sharing the video on Twitter.
“Welcome @DJKhaled to the @RocNation family!” the post says. “#RocNation#WeTheBest.”
DJ Khaled hosts the We The Best Radio show on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio. The streaming service is a direct competitor to Jay Z’s TIDAL.
The two artists have worked together on “They Don’t Love You Know More,” a cut from DJ Khaled’s I Changed a Lot.

For additional Jay Z coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
what does dj khaled even do though? hes more worried about making himself more famous rather than helping the cats he signed like Vado and Ace Hood.
You one dumb motherfucker, you’d be the type worry bout one mans pocket instead of your own……FEMALE!!!!!
Better yet, why do we even need an announcement?
“Meet my manager. His name is Jay Z. ” … sorry but no one is believe for one second that Jay-Z is spending any time out his year to manage the career of DJ Khaled. His real manager is probably some j3wish lady.
all he does is yell on people’ records..lets be honest, who’s your real boss??..lol.. must be a slow news day..
Who cares!!!! This guy sucks. Jay z should be ashamed
Worst decision Jay-Z has made in years, worse than Tidal!
Not really only competition to tidal is apple streaming music soooooooooooooo, shoot yourself for living in a fuckin box asss
you know it’s tough times for jay when this is celebrated as a success story…….
does anyone else find it slightly depressing that the “last” roc-a-fella chain went to that clown?
Khaled and Nas collaborate numerous times. Khaled and Hov only do one song with each other. Yet Khaled chooses Roc Nation over Ass Appeal. Hov wins again!
Winning? Nas better off without that fat fake fuck.
Only thing khaled s ever done was put rappers on a song produced by another producer. He’s smart but he aint shit
You sound sad and broke, get a life shorty
Hey, just because no one has popped off yet from ROC nation and Khaled is popular because he is a culture vulture, doesn’t mean that this management deal won’t be big money for HOV! You Nas stans hate the fact HOV is doing big things while Nas stay losing by investing his money in silicon valley startups. Like who’s ever made money at that?
He should like HOV and invests someone else money in a streaming service!
Buncha haters in the comments
i dont like that dude but guess he will anyways get ripped off by J. has there ever been an artist J. worked with that didnt complain afterwards. i cant remember anyone but maybe someone else does.
J cole cuz he actually works and not rely on another mans name to help him out….. you a female my dude
Is he still signed to Cash Money? Lol this dude is a great producer (not beat maker but actual producer) but man is he lucky lol a record deal with a pretty big name hip-hop label and management under one of the greatest rappers ever. Can’t hate his luck
does this fatso have any loyalty…he went from terror squad to cash money now roc nation what a dick rider
Tell that to remy ma that stayed and got fucked over by terror squad due to whoooo????? Fat joe , not dj khaled , you niggas are stupid, rather have a glass ceiling on yo heads than to strive for better
Hov milking the cash cow aka Khaled
Jay z signs khaled is because jay z signs Vado.
fuck all you talking shit about jay, males shouldn’t be jealous that’s a female trait, so take that females! don’t ever talk shit about him he’s not a business man, he’s a business man! let him handle his business damn! i will spend all night on this sitr and defend him, even though i never have nor ever will know him. although he did walk by me once and had his security guard whoop my ass when i tried to meet him, i will still ride for him. oh yeah one more thing, he will not lose! act like you never heard fresh original shit like that before!
I like how you take my name and make yourself look more like a female, so jelly you changed your name to mine hahahahahahaha…. males shouldnt be jealous thats a female trait/this homos mad cuz i made comments that put his panties in place
nah i’m just a petty ass dude, i thought you would’ve known that by now. although it is kind of funny how serious you take this and how you feel like you “won” something. lmao one more thing, that was a fast response, get a life bro it’s not that serious hahahahaha
