DJ Khaled was among the stars to appear on celebrity row at game three of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs on Monday night (June 8). The We the Best mogul ran into Timothée Chalamet in the exclusive lounge area pre-game, and the Marty Supreme actor gave Khaled his flowers while crowning 2007’s “We Takin’ Over” as the “No. 1 video of all-time.”

“My brother here said, ‘We Takin’ Over’ his favorite video,” Khaled said in a clip posted to social media.


Chalamet, an avid rap fan, responded: “No. 1 video of all-time! I was watching … T.I. in the trap!”

It was music to Khaled’s ears as the We the Best mogul had a laugh while co-signing the actor’s take. “That’s right,” he repeated.

“We Takin’ Over” arrived in March 2007 and served as Khaled’s lead single for his We the Best album. The anthem is a loaded posse cut featuring Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Birdman, Lil Wayne and Fat Joe.

Shot in Miami, the visual finds Khaled on the run and kidnapped by an “evil assailant.” The star-studded clip features cameos from T-Pain, Bun B, Pitbull, Curren$y and more. Capped off by a standout verse from Lil Wayne, “We Takin’ Over” peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Khaled we joined by his wife and son Asahd at Madison Square Garden, as he was seated next to New York Knicks diehard fan and his close friend, Fat Joe. Khaled came under fire on social media as some viewers called him out for being on his phone too much throughout the game.

The Knicks ended up dropping game three 115-111 to the Spurs, who earned their first win of the series. Game four is slated for Wednesday night (June 10) at MSG.

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
