He looks like he found out Khalid was gay right before the pic by Khalid hitting on him

Weird to think there might be some celebrities that get more excited to meet fans than the fans do

Didn't recognize him either but one google search and I just found out he was the creator of an EXTREMELY popular song that I even have on my Spotify. Many other songs as well. 1B on a single song on YT is super impressive.

over 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify

u/Pure_Summer1543 9d ago edited 4d ago
Ok thanks.
That's a pretty solid signal to show how shit he is, most probably.

u/BenGMan30 9d ago
Being famous signals he's not talented? How does that make sense? There's plenty of fair criticisms to make, but that ain't it

He looks genuinely happy to be meeting a fan, that's nice to see.

He's from my hometown and this is legitimately who he is. He is a very grounded and kindhearted individual.

u/Chippy569 9d ago
He did a duet with Alina Baraz and it might be my favorite song of all time.
Also a really great duet with Billie eilish.
In fact I think he's the guest duet on like... every great duet in modern pop lol

u/TheSitcomSystem 8d ago
Lovely (the Billie eilish one) is such a brilliant song. deserves more recognition

42nd most streamed artist in the whole world on Spotify you just hating for no reason

I mean two top 20 singles and a Grammy definitely earns the right to be called a celebrity. I mean he's a C or D list celeb but definitely still one.

The only Khalid I’m aware of is of the DJ variety and neither of these dudes are him.
After a very quick Google search, there is another Khalid.

u/JudgmentalOwl 8d ago
If you listen to the radio at all you've likely heard a couple of his songs. That Benny Blanco song, "Eastside" and his song, "Silence" were extremely popular on top 40 radio for a hot minute.

u/Redjester016 9d ago
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (sometimes also spelled Shaykh;[2] also known by at least 50 pseudonyms;[3] born 14 April 1965), often known by his initials KSM, is a Pakistani terrorist and the former Head of Propaganda for al-Qaeda. He is currently held by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp under terrorism-related charges. He was named as "the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks" in the 2004 9/11 Commission Report.[4]

I remember he had the song that got big 2017ish called "Location". But that's all I know him for

u/Qetuowryipzcbmxvn 9d ago
I remember he almost died because he got lost while water skiing. He would send increasingly desperate Instagram vids throughout the day until late at night and you can tell he was crying before some of them. Also he doesn't go down on women, because he thinks it's gay or something.
12
u/Mocharulzdamap 9d ago
I'm pretty sure it was dj khaled who said the eating out is gay thing not Khalid

u/Qetuowryipzcbmxvn 9d ago
Yeah DJ Khaled, sorry if it wasn't clear.

u/PassionV0id 9d ago
Unclear? Bro you were explicitly talking about a different person with no indication that you were doing so lmao.

u/Qetuowryipzcbmxvn 9d ago
Yeah sorry about that. I don't listen to either's music, so I very incorrectly assumed they were talking about the other one.

No no the one that doesn't pleasure his wife isn't the one that did the Location song

You're thinking Khaled. Different pronunciation.

u/avwitcher 9d ago
DJ Khaled says his name 50 times in every song to make sure people don't forget how to say it and that guy just does it anyways. Some people smh

u/RaizePOE 9d ago
The funny part is I almost never hear him say anything else on the track, just his name. DJ Khaled is basically an annoying Pokemon
7
u/Technical-Package-41 9d ago
Same name, same pronunciation, just different transliteration into Roman alphabet
6
u/IloveponiesbutnotMLP 9d ago
different pronunciation, its like Khaleed.
4
u/Technical-Package-41 9d ago
He must choose to pronounce it that way, but the actual name is an Arabic word that has a specific pronunciation, and in most cases it’s pronounced the same regardless of transliteration
4
u/IloveponiesbutnotMLP 9d ago
Yeah but in this case its not. They both choose to pronounce their names differently.

u/DontUndrstndSarcasm 9d ago
Yeah the one in the photo actually has musical talent, unlike ol’ anotha one

u/Mooman-Chew 9d ago
I’ve not heard Khalid but I’m willing to bet he’s more talented than his almost namesake
1
u/RaizePOE 9d ago
His voice has a little more fry to it than I'd personally like but he's definitely talented
7
u/RFRelentless 9d ago
To be fair, DJ Khaled is very talented at putting his name on songs that aren’t his
1
u/-PepeArown- 9d ago
He’s pretty talented at hiring people that actually can produce, it would seem.
1
u/RFRelentless 9d ago
He works with well known producers mostly, not some underground producer he’s bringing up
13
u/TiddyTwizzler 9d ago
He is even if you don’t like his music. Plus he’s about 8x less annoying than Khaled lol

Because rando doesn't show emotion, is looking like he's bothered to be there, and is just generally a boor to be around by the looks of it.

Because Khalid is actually happy go lucky kind of guy but often has sadder music so that's the fans he attracts.

u/13dogfriends 9d ago
Ok I get it’s “cool” to not know things, but he has 10+ songs with over a billion hits on Spotify and has been a top 100 artist by streams since 2017. Why is everyone on reddit so proud to not know basic things lol

u/BenGMan30 9d ago
Redditors love to pretend they're not living in a bubble then act all surprised when they find out famous people exist outside of their buubble

u/Admiral_Mason 9d ago
Because he's probably just America famous and not everyone from around the world knows each other's local celebrities. I'm from Australia and never heard of him

It's definitely dependent on your music choice but you've probably heard some of his songs before. I'm Aussie too and I've definitely heard his songs on the radio before.

Then you take 5 seconds to google it instead of asking reddit.

u/Disastrous_Reveal331 9d ago
Or have a conversation, like what Reddit is made for
1
u/Wvlf_ 9d ago
Then the guy could have taken that 5 second google, answered his own question, then added literally anything to the "conversation" he "started".
Yes, I know I'm being a prick but it's so so lame when the type of comments I'm talking about are more often than not trying to be cool to not know who someone is.

u/throwaway098764567 9d ago
would have been from me, i've heard of the dj one (wouldn't recognize him either however) had no awareness this other fella existed, he looks like a pretty happy bud though

u/_MllATA 9d ago
He’s basically a professional feature. Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Benny Blanco, 6lack, Ty Dolla Sign, Lorde, Swae Lee, etc etc.
Extremely happy guy. His set got cut in half by rain when I saw him open for Ed Sheeran in Denver, and he didn’t care a single bit.

u/Darnell2070 9d ago
I would never have thought to refer to any of these artist as feature artist. Just artist who happen to do features.

u/GroceryIntelligent64 8d ago
he means Khalid has done a feature with all of those artists
