AceShowbiz - Following the massive success of his star-studded single, "I'm the One", DJ Khaled couldn't hide his excitement as he took to his social media accounts to share his happiness with fans by posting a lengthy message to thank all people who have contributed to the song, including his six-month-old son Asahd who executive produced the song.
"I'm the One" is Khaled's latest single which boasts appearances from Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper and Lil Wayne. The song debuted at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart, taking the throne from Bruno Mars' "That's What I Like". "Fan luv we did it!! I have been blessed to have many #1s BUT THIS IS MY FIRST #1 and MY SON @asahdkhaled FIRST #1 on the @billboard #HOT100," Khaled wrote in his Instagram caption.
He added, "We did it!! Thank you to all the artist that contributed to making this happen!! I'm very GRATEFUL!! This is just the beginning!! Thank you all my music colleagues out there u know u r...NOW CHECK THIS OUT. This is VERY rare and a special moment...only 5 other songs debuted #1 over the past two years. This is a VERY BIG DEAL!!!"
Khaled seemed to be in awe as "I'm the One" was his first song to debut atop Billboard Hot 100. "I'm inspired on a whole other level," he said of the achievement on Facebook Live for Billboard.
"I'm the One" is a track off Khaled's upcoming album "Grateful". The set is the follow-up to last year's "Major Key". "Grateful" will reportedly be another star-studded effort with Rihanna, Travis Scott (II), Mariah Carey, Future and Nicki Minaj as the featured artists.
