DJ Khaled isn’t the only Khaled we’ll be seeing at the BET Awards tonight.

The 41-year-old will be hosting the event, and will be bringing along his son, Asahd, who audiences have gotten to know pretty well over the last year. The mini-Khaled has been accompanying his father to a number of events since his birth, and has even hit the stage a couple times.

Read on to learn more about Asahd, DJ Khaled’s son.


1. He Is 11-Months-Old and Has Production Credits on His Father’s ‘Grateful’ Album

Asahd may be only 11-months-old, but he’s already got an executive producer credit on his dad’s Grateful album, which was nominated for Album of the Year.

That’s right– Khaled made his son an executive producer, saying that he helped choose songs for the album. “To be honest with you, he likes so many tracks, that I ended up putting 23 on the album,” Khaled explains to EW.


2. His Birth Was Documented on Snapchat

DJ Khaled documented Asahd’s birth on Snapchat. Asked whether or not his fiancee wanted this to happen, Time reports Khaled as saying, “The key is that I’m the king and every queen should support the king. I’m going to talk to the doctor and if the doctor says everything is gonna run smooth, meaning that we wanna make sure that the queen is right and my son is right. If it’s running smooth where I can just do my thing, I’mma Snapchat the whole thing.”

At the BET Awards in June, Khaled brought his son up on stage for a performance of ‘I’m the One’. He wore adorable, massive, noise-cancelling headphones to shield his ears.

Asahd has accompanied his father to a number of red carpets and clearly knows how to dress to impress. For the VMAs in August, he wore a custom Gucci suit.

He perfectly matched his dad once again at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in February. The two Khaled’s wore a matching purple jacket and bowtie.

It’s true– the little Khaled has his own Instagram, and a huge following considering he hasn’t celebrated his first birthday yet. As expected, he’s certified.
