DJ Khaled’s son Asahd turned one in style. The youngster was the star of the show at his epic jungle-themed dance party on Oct. 22. His music producer dad is known for his extravagant parties, but this one takes the (birthday) cake!

The father of one, 41, and his fiancé Nicole Tuckreportedly dropped six figures to rent out Miami nightclub LIV at Fontainebleau, a club known for hosting celeb-filled bashes (think Kim Kardashian’s Halloween extravaganza in 2012.) The decorations were inspired by a classic childhood Disney favourite, The Lion King, making Asahd’s new life motto “Hakuna Matata”

@asahdkhaled happy b day !!!!!! I love you so much !!!!! Bless up @mtv for the amazing video

And what’s a first birthday without a legendary industry guest? The celebratory event was co-hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.

A birthday isn’t a birthday without some delicious cake, and Asahd was treated to the crème de la crème of the bakery world – a tiered cake decorated with pictures of himself. The guest of honour reveled in the limelight as he showed off some sweet dance moves while playing Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2018.

Happy b day @asahdkhaled !!!! Thank you @diddy for hosting @asahdkhaled party ! @asahdkhaled receiving his plaques for #GRATEFUL FROM @riaa_awards

While it takes most industry professionals years to become producers, Asahd did it before his first birthday. He was named executive producer on daddy Khaled’s 10^th studio album, Grateful—and he was even the cover model, too!

From the @riaa_awards As of today, #DJKHALED #Grateful album has surpassed 10 million RIAA Awards! 10 million. “I’m The One” is now 5X Platinum AND it’s the number one certified hip hop track this year.

At the BET Awards in June, Khaled gushed to ET about his adorable child, “I love him so much, Mommy loves him so much, our whole family loves him and the world loves him. God gave me my biggest blessing,” he said. “I’m gonna give him so much joy, so much happiness forever. I work for him.”
