DJ Khaled Pens Inspiring Open Thank You Letter To Beyoncé

By Rachaell Davis · Updated October 27, 2020

Multi-talented hip hop DJ and producer DJ Khaled has been openly appreciative of Beyoncé for inviting him to be a part of her Formation World Tour and now he’s showing his gratitude in another way with a heartfelt public thank you letter to the superstar songstress.

Khaled confirmed earlier this year that he would be opening the show for each of Beyoncé’s North American tour stops and if you’ve had a chance to check out the concert, then you know that he’s done quite the job of getting the crowd energized and on their feet before Mrs. Carter hits the stage.  

You Were Wrong to Think Beyoncé’s ‘Love Drought’ was About Hubby Jay Z

Paying homage to Hip Hop night after night with a laundry list of special guest appearances from rap veterans and hit-making new comers like Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Young Jeezy, French Montana, Swizz Beatz, Yo Gotti, The Lox, Rick Ross, Future, Wiz Khalifa, and Dej Loaf to name a few, Khaled has served as the perfect precursor for Bey before she blazes the stage night after night.  

As the first leg of the tour officially came to an end on Tuesday night in Detroit, Khaled celebrated with an inspiring open letter of thanks to Beyoncé, the BeyHive and his own fans on his personal Instagram page.
