We The Best CEO DJ Khaled‘s memorable 2016 continues with his unexpected signing to Epic Records, the label home to Rick Ross and Future, this week.

Khaled broke the headline-generating news on Instagram Monday (April 11).

A few weeks ago, Khaled dished on hiring Jay Z to manage him.

“Me and Jay have been friends for a long time and [have] built a relationship throughout the years,” Khaled explained. “We always said we [were] gonna do something together besides making amazing music. So, I called Jigga like, ‘Let’s make history together, let’s make big business, let’s secure the bag together.’ … I consider this a partnership. Two moguls? It’s powerful.” (Complex)

Last month, Khaled talked about possibly delivering new music with Top Dawg Entertainment’s Kendrick Lamar.

“I am talking to Kendrick Lamar about an anthem that I want him on. He’s waiting on me actually. I told him I was tweaking something, ’cause I want to present it where the mic just automatically comes on – me and Kendrick been talking about it. I’ve seen him a few times since I’ve been out here. I’ve been staying in touch with Top Dawg.” (“The Cruz Show”)

Khaled posted up pictures alongside Kendrick a few days prior on Instagram and thanked Jay for landing courtside NBA seats.
