The Wireless Festival in the UK had to cancel DJ Khaled headline performance scheduled for 8:50 in the evening, when fans started voicing their displeasure with the American deejay. What seemed to have caught their ire, were nonchalant Snapchats documenting his family vacation. Khaled was hours away from performing a gig in the UK, so discerning fans were able to pick up on the error before Festival organizers could be held accountable.
Due to travel issues DJ Khaled will not be performing but we are working on something special that won’t disappoint…

The Festival was thus forced to make an announcement via Twitter. The post also included a promise to deliver “something special that won’t disappoint…” in place of Khaled’s bungled appearance. Khaled cited travel issues as a reason to continue his full-time obsession with “infinity pools.” The hip hop mogul and his family have been vacationing in Mexico where “infinity pool” optics are also readily available.
One Twitter fan couldn’t make out DJ Khaled’s exact location, but he sure as hell knew Khaled wasn’t at Finnsbury Park where the gig was being held. “Maybe I’m slow and missed something DJ Khaled is doing “man ah cool…man ahh just ease u know” in a pool that doesn’t look anywhere like Finsbury Park. Ain’t he meant to be at Wireless today?” they tweeted.
Pls DJ Khaled and his friends better be on a jet to wireless rn..
Why was my man in a swimming pool not doing soundcheck? Kfkgkfkfbaga

I’m not sure if I should be concerned that people are paying hard earned money to witness DJ Khaled sets?

Naturally the DJ Khaled cancellation gave rise to rumors Drake would take his place, since the Canadian rapper is currently stationed in London.
Dj Khaled not at Wireless today is the most obvious indication that Drake is gonna step in. What a madness that will be
