Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.DJ Khaled could have marked the chart success of his "Hold You Drown" track with Chris Brown with a humble tweet thanking fans, but instead he went to the Bahamas and shot a 12-minute documentary for World Star Hip Hop celebrating himself and wrestling with an absurdly-oversized bottle of champagne.
There is so much to love about this video, the gaudy opulence, the repetition, but here's a few highlights to look out for:
- DJ Khaled trying to pour champagne underwater
- The bottle kind of sinking him at one point
- Flipping the bird from a jet ski
- Taking a selfie on a jet ski
- Belly flopping from a yacht
- The fact that he doesn't actually have the "number one record in the country" but the number one urban record
- Washing his gold chains in the shower
- Just having sex with someone at one point
- His "number one breakfast" of egg whites
- The line "They don't want you to be on a jet ski doing 360s"
- A zoom close-up of some chicken wings
- Pouring champagne again
- The champagne actually being a sparkling rosé
