The Production Credits for DJ Khaled’s New Album ‘God Did’
On Friday (August 26), DJ Khaled dropped his 13th studio album, God Did.
The 15-track project features guest appearances by Eminem, Jay-Z, Drake, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Kanye West, SZA, Future and several others while production was handled by DJ Khaled himself, STREETRUNNER, TM88, Tay Keith for a majority of the project, but also features Mike Dean, Timbaland, and Preme, to name a few.
Read a quick snippet on how he was able to get Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kanye West on “Use This Gospel (Remix).”
“Came by my house about a year and a half ago, I never told this story, you know that, Zane, I haven’t told this story yet. He came by my house like a year and a half ago, I played him music, first he came to my house to get some eggs, 8:00 in the morning and he just showed up to my house. I never knew he was coming, tells the chef, “Give me some eggs with ketchup,” and he had a drink. We go to my studio, I play him music, he plays me music, we both inspiring each other. He plays me an incredible album that he did with one of my idols, Dr. Dre, he played it from top to bottom for me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. We had a great get-together at the crib, he leaves, that’s a year and a half ago. I told you he was making records for this album, me and Ye, he couldn’t finish them because he was so busy, so I said, “I got an idea. I remember you playing me this Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kanye record and y’all was talking about God, y’all was speaking that gospel.” I said, “Man, that would be beautiful if we could put that on God Did,” and Ye hits back and says, “I love the idea.” You know Ye don’t love no idea, he said he loves the idea. I talked to Ye, he said, “I’m down,” but obviously I said, “I got to call Dre to get his blessings, and of course, Em’s blessings.” After I hung out with Ye, I called Dr. Dre and I said, “Dre, bless up, brother, yo, boom boom.” I was like, “Yo, I would love to put your song on my album that you produced with Em and Ye.” Make a long story short, he was like, “Yo, I’m down, we just got to make sure we get Em’s blessings,” and I’m like, “Of course, everybody got to bless this.” He hits me back, and Dre said, “We got you, and we love you.” Zane, this is my idol, Zane, Dr. Dre produced on my album, produced by Dr. Dre, Kanye West and Eminem. We get the blessings, before I came up with calling Ye about this, a few months ago, I texted Dre to see if this was still his number because I ain’t talked to him in a while.I said, “Bless up, brother, is this still your number?” I think he hits me back like a week or two weeks later. I ended up catching the COVID, so I look at my phone, I’m like, ” he hit me back,” but I was sick with the COVID, God bless, God is great, so I didn’t want to hit him back right away because I didn’t have my energy, my spirit wasn’t . If I’m going to talk to Dre, my idol, I got tofeel DJ Khaled, he got to hear DJ Khaled. I was working on another record that I wanted to present to him that I produced, that I wanted to present to him to get on, and I never played it for him. That’s what I’m saying, this is God Did, instead I was blessed to get a gift from Dr. Dre, Kanye West, and Eminem, produced by Dr. Dre, man.”

Is BIA Feuding with Cardi B?
Earlier this month, tensions between BIA and Cardi B appeared to be building.
The alleged feud came when Cardi B released her “Like What (freestyle),” sampling Missy Elliott‘s 1999 single, “She’s A Bi**h.” This prompted BIA to address the matter on X (formerly known as Twitter), highlighting similarities to her own track, “I’m That B***h,” featuring Timbaland, which also sampled the same record.

The feud progressed when Cardi B previewed her new record, “Enough (Miami),” which fans think draws parallel to BIA’s 2023 ‘REALLY HER‘ EP single, “Fallback.” The visual to Cardi’s new record also similarly looks like BIA’s “Millions.”
It’s getting weird

Ahead of the record’s release, Cardi responded on X, teasing, “B**ches make a fool of themselves every single time [crying face emoji] .. ima show ya something when I release this song tho [winking face emoji].”

Their relationship wasn’t always strained. In 2021, Cardi’s breakout hit “Bodak Yellow” achieved diamond certification, which prompted BIA to express admiration on social media. “If you’re not inspired you’re not paying attention,” she acknowledged. “You can at least be a fan of someone’s work ethic, growth, and contributions. & I’ve been writing for 10 years, what she’s accomplished is NOT EASY.”
Addressing rumors of a rift, BIA clarified, “Sweetie, I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. I’ve never met Cardi, we’ve never had a conversation. Like, I don’t have no issues with her, it’s all love, but I don’t know her. Y’all do too much on this app, I don’t know her in real life.”
She ended with, “Ask me about somebody I know. Ask me about somebody I’ve met in real life, not online.”

Kanye West Celebrates ‘Carnival’ Hitting No. 1, Calls Out Drake, Adidas & More
Kanye West took a moment to celebrate the success of his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, the single ‘Carnival’ from their joint project Vultures: Vol 1, as it made its mark on the Billboard Hot 100. Teaming up with Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid, Ye also dropped the official music video on YouTube. Expressing his gratitude, he shared a statement on Instagram, extending thanks to Ty Dolla Sign, Playboi Carti, and Rich the Kid, for attributing the song’s success to their collective effort and the support of their fans who stood by them through thick and thin, championing resilience against systemic manipulation.
Within his reflection, Kanye, of course took the opportunity to address certain grievances, calling out Drake for what he perceived as an untimely move by including Lil Durk at the beginning of the Vultures rollout. Drake recently brought along Lil Durk into the closing dates of his tour, It’s All a Blur – Big as the What?, alongside J. Cole.
“And it’s f**k Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”
Durk is featured on the title track of Vultures with Ye and Ty Dolla Sign.
Ye also took the opportunity to once again, Adidas, as well as the U.K. outlet, Daily Mail, and Hailey Bieber.
“F**k Adidas and everybody who works there,” he wrote. “F**k everybody at the fashion houses that sided with Gabby and Hailey Bieber.”
