Several film projects are currently in development, though specific details remain undisclosed. The deal's valuation reportedly reaches nine figures, according to industry sources.

"I'm proud that my legacy will continue to resonate and connect with audiences around the world with this partnership through Influence Media," says DJ Khaled. "These iconic recordings I've created will continue to be curated in the optimum manner to impact culture with nearly two decades of music."

This partnership follows Influence Media's recent $360 million debt financing acquisition and adds to their portfolio, which includes involvement in Will Smith's career comeback. The company, backed by BlackRock and Warner Music, continues to expand its presence in entertainment rights management.

DJ Khaled is set to release his new album "Aalam of God" in 2025, marking a new chapter in his career that will encompass both music and broader entertainment ventures.
