After Khaled’s deal, it was time to celebrate, and Derick G was on hand to capture flicks aboard the yacht for Young Money/Cash Money’s party in Miami last week. Khaled spoke with VIBE about how their partnership came about.

“Birdman always loved my work and passion. We’ve known each other for years, and he’s always told me when you fulfill your contract with E1 you always got a home over here. I was going to sign myself, but I called Birdman and he said ‘Let’s get the deal done in an hour.’ He just wanted to make it happen.”
