DJ Khaled Reportedly Suing 'Billboard' Over No. 1 Spot DJ Khaled is taking legal action against the 'Billboard' Chart after the organization disqualified more than 100,000 of his album sales. The uncounted sales came from the DJ Khaled x Awake Energy Drink “bundle deal,” which consisted of an album download and merchandise. The producer’s latest album, 'Father of Asahd,' was on track to take the top spot, but lost out to
Tyler the Creator’s 'Igor' as a result of the exclusion. Sources report that 'Billboard' previously agreed to include the promotional sales, but did not
follow through. Team Khaled unsuccessfully appealed to 'Billboard,' causing tension between the producer and
his team. Source, to Page Six Sales from Tyler the Creator’s “bundle deal”
allegedly counted towards his total,
raising questions about the rankings.
