The power of positive thinking is real and anyone who doesn’t believe it should look at DJ Khaled. Most would have looked at DJ Khaled and his success level in 2014-2015, they would say he made it. But, DJ Khaled knew he had more work to do.

Consistently delivering hit records for ten years, DJ Khaled felt like the respect level wasn’t there. His music opened the door for Drake, helped the likes of Trick Daddy have extended success, and made stars out of Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. For that, Khaled had high expectations.

When everything closed in on him, DJ Khaled began spreading positive messages on Snapchat. Soon, Jay Z added him to the Roc Nation roster, landed a deal with Epic Records, and scored chart-topping hit singles. Now, his “I Got The Keys” single with Future and Jay Z has landed him in hot water, as a producer is suing Khaled, claiming he stole the beat from him.
