DJ Khaled performs onstage during the AHF World AIDS DAY Concert and 30th Anniversary Celebration featuring Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled at the Shrine Auditorium on November 30, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.
With the release of "Father Of Asahd," Khaled is bringing the gang with him to the SNL studios.

DJ Khaled is fresh off of the release of his latest album, Father Of Asahd, his latest project with a star-studded roster. Khaled kept the roll out relatively low key in comparison to other projects. He released a few singles last year but in the days leading up the project, he was relatively quiet which, to be honest, seems quite out of character for his larger-than-life persona. With  Saturday Night Live's season finale tomorrow, NBC brought the DJ to close out another highly successful season and Khaled will definitely be bringing some friends along with him.

The star-studded tracklist of Khaled's latest project is set to be reflected during his performance on Saturday Night Live tomorrow. The rapper revealed that he'll be bringing along Lil Wayne, J Balvin, Meek Mill, SZA, John Legend, Big Sean, Jeremih, and Lil Baby for his set. This will mark both J Balvin and Lil Baby's first times on Saturday Night Live. J Balvin will also be making history as the first Reggaeton artist to perform on the late-night variety show.

With DJ Khaled, and a slew of stars from hip-hop, set to perform, Paul Rudd will be serving as the host for the evening. The two served up a hilarious teaser with Khaled dishing out his iconic "Anotha one" adlib while Paul Rudd attempts to match DJ Khaled's energy.
