Mogul talk indeed.

Nobody can dispute that DJ Khaled basically holds a master's degree in uniting artists. The endearing mogul slash Grateful producer has already been making huge waves with his number one single "I'm The One," which brought together a star-studded lineup. And while Grateful will almost certainly do huge numbers, Khaled has never been the myopic type.

Dude wants those major bags, and Page Six reports that Khaled has been eyeing LA Reid's former position as head of Epic Records. After Reid stepped down, reportedly due to sexual harassment claims,  the vacancy triggered Khaled's ambitious nature. According to Page Six's report, an "insider" source stated "“He was petitioning to get that job. He’s like, ‘I make more happen than anyone in the game, why would I not be considered to run the label?’"

While Khaled has never managed a label before, the Grateful hit-maker is not wrong on that front. What do ya'll think? Is this a good fit, or is Khaled biting off more than he can chew?
