DJ Khaled Now Says He Was “Joking” With Nicki Minaj Proposal

    DJ Khaled says that his marriage proposal to Nicki Minaj was a joke. Khaled also says that it was a “dope plan” to present his new single, “I Wanna Be With You.” 

    “The proposal, I was just having fun with it,” DJ Khaled says in an interview with Virginia radio station Power 92.1. “I just wanted to show love and bring some excitement for my fans to connect with the record…I just wanted to tap into the emotion of the record.”  

    The marriage proposal was a way to present his latest single, according to Khaled. The single is “I Wanna Be With You,” which features Nicki Minaj, Future and Rick Ross.  

    “I was joking,” he says. “It was having fun. We be so busy making these big hits, I wanted to come with a dope plan to present the next mass record.” 

    His acting in the original marriage proposal has led to phone calls about television roles, according to Khaled. 

    “I thought I did pretty good on the proposal,” he says. “You know I want to get into movies and all that. So, I’m getting calls already for TV and stuff like that. They’ve been calling but now I’ma start looking at these roles. I really want to do movies. You know what I’m saying?”  

    DJ Khaled will keep the ring he used in the proposal video, he says. 

    “What’s that saying?” DJ Khaled says of the ring which is reportedly worth $500,000. “‘Women’s best friends is diamonds?’ I’m just gonna add that diamond to one of my pinky rings or one of my necklaces. I love diamonds too.” 

    More from this interview can be heard below. 

    The marriage proposal was initially made last week on MTV News. DJ Khaled then explained his desire to marry Minaj. However, after “I Wanna Be With You” was released this week, Nicki Minaj told New York radio station Hot97 that DJ Khaled was “not serious.” “It was just another way for him to kinda give the world a glimpse on the feeling of this record,” Minaj said

    The marriage proposal can be seen below.

    1. How was it “dope” nigga you weren’t on twitter everyone was going in on you it was lame and made you look desperate. People either gonna like your song or not. If people not gonna like it they not gonna like it, coming up with a fake proposal and all that extra shit is so lame…damn swear this guy is a clown.

    2. Im sorry.. but the only joke we are laughing at is you Khaled… This post is bullshit.. Let’s make the next hit… I know how… I pretend to marry her… That probably did something to boost it.. You love her.. soon enough you will probably stalk her aswell.. Disguisting fuck..

    3. I don’t wanna see anybody get killed, but please can someone shoot this fu#%ing fool in the ass, arm, foot, leg, hand. Chop his tongue off. Somebody please do something.

    4. That proposal was serious as cancer.
      Thats why that untalented bitch was quiet for days on it, her PR and his PR were figuring a way to spin it, which shouldn’t have taken days, Tie it into the new single.
      But Khaled got his heart stomped on, and had keep up an image, so now he was joking.
      These guys are chumps.

      1. its cancerous but wasn’t serious. It was a publicity stunt, which is actually worse than if it was real imo.

        Thats on some wwe shit. not sayin there’s anything wrong w/ wwe….but

        i mean that’s what dese niggaz is doin now? fuckin whores.

    5. LMAO yeah right you fat faggot. That was a serious proposal that got shot down so now you wanna play it off. I hope you feel like a dumb piece of shyt thinking you had a chance with nicki minjas fake ass

    6. LOL you are funny as hell on this wall!!! Let Khaled Makes His Way!! We Like His Music! Do Things By Yourself Make Something Of Your Lives Cause In My Opinion They Are All Empty!!! Hatin’ For No Reasons This Is America…Bullshit

    7. Yah right it was fake seems like alot of effort to promote a record that nobody will care about, My feeling is he got alot of negative attention and flak from it and also his fat ass got shut dooown imediatley he felt dumb, you can insult some ppls intelligence but not mine…

    8. Yo google DJ Khaled high school photo! This nicca never got no pussy that he didnt have to pay for ever!!!

      1. lookin like andy milonakis crossed with peter griffin talking about no new friends??? he probably doesnt have any old friends how can he afford to not make any new friends?

    9. nicki fuckin with french montana she savin that pussy for french when ever he feel like asking hannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

    10. He was serious if she woulda said yes but because she put him in the friend zone, actually she said they brother and sister so thats beyond friend zoned he wants to act like he was joking.

      what kind of joke is that? humiliate yourself in front of the world and look like a chump??? what part of the game is that?

    11. You know that ring probably worth like 5k. Some Israeli sold him some doo doo for real, so the joke on him.

    12. YOU DUMB ASSHOLES IT WAS A A DUMB PLOT FROM THE FUCKIN START SO BOTH KHALED AND MINAJ GET ATTENTION…FUCK THEM BOTH…NOWADAYS EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING PLOT..SOME CELEBRETIES THEYRE SO CALLED MARRIAGES ARE PUBLICITY STUNT TO GET ATTENTION AND SHIT..EVERYONE IS FAKE..DONT GIVE THEM LOOSERS ATTENTION..FUCK THEM!

    13. Should the fuck up you former terrorist. Real djs or rappers let the music speak for them and not some bullshit publicity stunt.

      By the way your whole life, name family, music etc is a a JOKE!

      1. what do you mean former terrorist?

        he still terrorizing the music industry with every song he puts out

    14. all a joke he says? you’re whole existence and life is a joke!

      let the music speak for itself you shouldn’t need to make a fool of yourself to get a little buzz for your single

    15. this man doesnt seem to know the difference between people laughing with you and people laughing AT you

    16. This proposal seemed dead-serious. Khaled even did a follow-up interview to confirm how serious he was after the initial MTV video broke, and then his friend, Rick Ross, also co-signed the seriousness of the situation. I am not sure what “feeling” there is to capture with this song. Nicki, Ross and Future did their thing, and then Khaled chimed in at the very end to say how he is the best.

      Would this proposal really have just been “a joke” if Nicki had said yes? I think not. It is not so easy to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

    17. His acting? Dude was stuttering and looking like he would have a seizure every few words, along with using that fake-ass sounding voice of his. Nobody would want him on TV.

    18. She showed up at the studio the next day and slapped him in the face. Now he tries to crawl back saying, “Oh, a joke”

    19. FAKE RAP ERA IS OVER

      MMG AND YMCMB ALBUMS FLOPPED IN 2013

      1. Most of these rapper are Fake and it for sure the fake period of hip hop is over from lil gay too soulja gone, nigga i am still listing to 2pac, biggie big L and gang star.

      2. “Cosign this. Lets get back to some eminem”

        This comment started off nicely and then took a complete nose dive…

      3. How has Ross lost his buzz? Self Made 3 coming out soon. Mastermind out soon. Scores of recent singles released on Itunes. The Bugatti song with Ace Hood is fire.

    20. As an account for YMCMB, I can confirm that DJ Khaled was actually rejected by Nicki Minaj because she didn’t want her hubby having a fatter ass than him. In other news, Wayne let me lick his booty hole the other night and that shit tasted like Frosted Flakes. It was GRRRRRRREAT!

        BAWSE!

      2. should i post of a list of all the wack ass niggas that diddy has co-signed over the years? would be pretty good for a laugh.

        he will co-sign anyone if he can make a buck off them. look at french montana….

      3. Ross co-signed this shit and said Khaled was serious. That nigga lied again, When did Biggie ever lie to his fans?

    23. His pal Officer Ricky Ross taught him everything he knows about acting so he might make it! That man been in character for years now!

    24. @Ja Rule Army [Top Troll]
      Must Be the Rule Stan,cause my catalog Is loaded with the pioneers of Raps ’80s & early ’90s “Son” Not Any Bullshit raps

    25. He’s lying through his teeth… You’re not getting calls about roles and you were rejected by Nicki because you’re a fat, disgusting fuck, you exploiter.

    26. lol stfu khaled, everyone know you got rejected, now you just look like a fool making an excuse to save your dignity smh

      1. what dignity?? he threw that shit out the window the minute he decided to make a fool out of himself for some cheap publicity and a week in the rap headlines

    27. BULLSHIT. lmfao at least admit you got rejected instead of lying about it like a bitch. Hes tryna act like his failed proposal is gonna make him a movie star now lol

    28. $500,000 Joke? Either she said no and now he looks stupid or he actually bought a $500,000 ring for a joke and he still looks stupid for that.

    29. To promote his new record? True or not, that’s so fucking cheap. Make good music, that tends to promote your future productions.

    30. If you didn’t know this was a joke/publicity stunt your… not a good judge of character… Plus its was kinda funny…

    31. naw it’s you nerds who trying to save face. you know about million dollar business, who’s illuminated, what’s in the next man’s bank account

      but you’re easily suckered over an article headline, lol

    32. What Bullshit is this?? $500 000 as a joke? To promote a record? LMAO this is some weak ass shit c’mon people

      1. yeah LOL who in their right mind would spend half a milli on a ring for a publicity stunt. even if that song goes platinum he wouldnt even break even after paying nicki ross and future…. ring was likely fake though

    33. Hey I know what would be good promotion for a new record…
      How about actually making some good music? Then it would actually speak for itself and you wouldn’t have to pull this bullshit

    34. Khaled give it up first album was “KISS THE RING” this one should be called “PAWN THE RING” hahaha YOU TOO UGLY stay behind the boards not in front of the CAMERA.

      1. Uh, yes he does produce. When he produces, he’s credited under the alias “Novacane”…Lol at these so called hip hop heads acting as if they know the truth!!! Do your research fuck boys!

      2. Why would any hip-hop head give a fuck about this fuck nigga or any of the artists he works with. sorry if i aint know his alias but the majority of “his” hits were produced by someone else

    35. LMAO nigga PLEASE you know she reject your bitch ass and now you found yourself giving all these bullshit excuses

    36. it’s not even the fact this cornball is tryna dismiss the whole thing as a joke, but now he thinks he can ACT
