DJ Khaled Enters ‘Album Mode’ With Help From Ashton Hall — Teases Aalam of God
By Hiphopla News | May 26, 2025
The We The Best mogul is back at it. DJ Khaled has officially entered album mode, and this time he’s pairing studio vibes with beach sprints.
In a recent social media post, Khaled shared a topless clip of himself running alongside fitness influencer Ashton Hall, simply captioning it: “album mode.” Fans quickly took it as a sign that the long-anticipated album, Aalam of God, is finally on the way.
Originally announced earlier this year with a high-energy teaser video featuring Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Ramos, the album was initially expected to drop in early 2025. At the time, Khaled hyped it as a monumental project, even referring to it as his version of JAY-Z’s The Black Album, saying:
“This not my last album — this my black album.”
He also teased a possible feature from Rihanna, playfully calling on her with:
“I JUST WANNA BREATHE – THE AIR THAT RIHANNA BREATHES.”
Khaled even hinted that the album would include two tracks with Drake, writing:
“FYI… DRAKE’S BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH [2] DRAKES!”
But the rollout quickly hit a snag. After the announcement, Drake appeared to distance himself from the project, dropping a cryptic comment:
“Must be @drakebell,” referring to the former child star—not Drizzy himself.
The situation escalated when Khaled quietly deleted the album announcement altogether. Not long after, a bizarre incident occurred at Khaled’s Florida home, where a coffin labeled “RIP Drake” and “RIP OVO” was reportedly delivered—complete with an upside-down cross. The pranksters behind it remain unknown.
Despite the awkward moment with Drizzy, Khaled followed through on the Drake Bell joke—linking up with the former Nickelodeon star on a new track titled “MIA.” The single features Khaled’s signature ad-libs layered over a mellow, melodic beat.
While Aalam of God still has no confirmed release date or tracklist, fans are on high alert now that Khaled has declared himself back in album mode.
