DJ Khaled has announced his upcoming album in style with an over four-minute-long trailer. The motivational trailer has been making waves on social media. However, what has caught the eye of many fans is the sporting references in the trailer. Specifically, a bicycle kick struck by Khaled has fans in splits.
“Success ain’t easy, you gotta want it. You gotta want it so bad that you’re willing to put everything on the line, even if you gotta risk your own life. That’s how bad you gotta want it. Forget just wanting it — you gotta work,” DJ Khaled insists in his trailer for the album called ‘Till Next Time’.
“You gotta be willing to out-work everybody, especially the ones that’s standing in your way. Man, it’s hard. This shit hard. You think this shit is easy? I just make it look easy. I’m that great. In the meantime, Til Next Time.”

The trailer involved a moment where Khaled was playing with a soccer ball showing off his skills. The sequence ended with him hitting a perfect bicycle kick. However, it is increasingly likely that it was not Khaled who actually hit the ball mid-air. An Instagram account posted it as a Reel with the caption, “Ain’t no way…”
On the other hand, his motivational trailer did not only consist of soccer. Right after the bicycle kick, the scene turned to Khaled on a golf course. He scored an ace, i.e. a hole-in-one. The trailer also consists of moments of Khaled playing basketball.
The trailer does not announce an official date of release. However, a visualizer of the song SUPPOSED TO BE LOVED ft. Lil Baby, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, was released on Friday, August 11, 2023.
DJ Khaled met Lionel Messi when Inter Miami CF played Atlanta United CF
Lionel Messi made his debut for Inter Miami amidst much fanfare on July 21, 2023, against Cruz Azul. He scored an injury-time free-kick winner to announce his arrival. In his next match just a few days later, Inter Miami played Atlanta United. Messi dazzled again in that match as he scored a brace within 22 minutes and even assisted a goal in Inter’s 4-0 win on the night.

DJ Khaled was in attendance during that match as his son Asahd was the mascot. Asahd walked out with Messi and Khaled’s son was so overwhelmed with the experience that he was reduced to tears. A video of the incident went viral as Messi was seen comforting the child.
