The Miami-native producer, social media star, platinum selling artist, proud dad and now Godfather of MTV’s TRL; it’s no wonder DJ Khaled is forever Grateful.
Khaled proudly and energetically inaugurated the new TRL show alongside Ed Sheeran, Migos and TRL host DC Young Fly and Tamara Dhia, which launched October 2nd at 3:30 pm in New York’s Time Square. This week’s lineup includes Noah Cyrus, Playboi Carti, PRETTYMUCH, Demi Lovato, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Why don’t We, Travis Scott and Romeo Santos. Dc Young Fly, Tamara Dhia, Amy Pham, Erik Zachary and Lawrence Jackson are said to rotate their hosting duties.
DJ Khaled will make a few more special appearances on TRL throughout the year. For those of you who missed the premiere, there was one memorable moment that had fans in awe. Now as we all know, the ball in Times Square only drops on New Year’s Eve but for Godfather Khaled and the TRL re-launch they made an exception. DJ Khaled and his son Asahd were brought out to drop the ball which definitely created a monumental moment in pop culture and TV. TRL is said to become the main connection for youth culture and millions of fans. Almost ten years later after Total Request Live was put to bed we’re definitely glad and excited to have it back. The people look forward to what TRL has in store.
