DJ Khaled Talks Climbing Bryson Tiller's Security Gate To Finish Song

by Daryl Nelson

On Drink Champs, DJ Khaled suggested that his relationship with T-Pain is still intact, despite not working with him for a while.

But what's his relationship with Bryson Tiller after he nearly trespassed on his property? It was a desperate move that Khaled made while trying to complete the song “Wild Thoughts,” featuring Rihanna, off his 2017 Grateful album.

“So I called Bryson Tiller like, ‘Yo, good news. The RiRi vocals are in. Great news,'” he remembered. “I go to Bryson Tiller’s house in L.A., I play him the record, we all excited calling Bryson Tiller, my album’s coming out in like two weeks. ‘Yo bro, I need you to cut the vocals over, you know Rihanna’s vocals are in? You hear that right?’ Everybody’s excited ... He’s not picking up his phone. You know, Bryson’s my brother. He had a surprise album coming out at the same time so he’s not picking up my phone. I need this done."
 
“I got f*cking Rihanna vocals, one of the biggest records of my career," Khaled went on. "He’s not picking up the phone. I jump in my car, I drive to his house. He has a gate. I’m flashing my lights, honking my horn, sending texts, nobody’s replying ...  You think I’m playing with this sh*t? ... Eventually, shout out to Rich the Barber, he comes outside. Bryson comes out, they open the gate. I was already climbing the gate. You think I’m playing? ... They come outside, I say, ‘Yo bro, I need the record. I need you to cut your vocals. I gotta drop this record next week.’ He did it, he was excited to do it. I was just confused, meaning as in, can you pick up your phone."
