DJ Khaled has yet to comment on the mass casualties in Gaza as the region\u2019s ongoing crisis enters its fifth month, and one of the producer\u2019s close associates has now expressed disapp<\/a>ointment in his visible absence.<\/p>\n

During an interview with Shaheryar\u2019s Stories<\/em> that was published on Sunday (February 18), entrepreneur and philanthropist Fadie Musallet<\/a> shared his thoughts on the influential beatmaker not speaking up about the rising death toll in the strip<\/a> despite his Palestinian ancestry.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, y\u2019know, everyone has their reasons,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there\u2019s no reason, there\u2019s no excuse when you\u2019re actually a Palestinian. For me, my mother lives there, y\u2019know what I mean? We\u2019re from the same village, same families, so there\u2019s no excuse.<\/p>\n

About his own involvement in the matter, he said: \u201cRight now, my heart and dedications are with Falasteen \u2014 I go there a lot. Like I said, my mother lives there. I do a lot of charity work with a lot of refugee camps there; I do a lot of fundraisers to raise money for Gaza and all the refugees outside of Gaza, in the West Bank.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Lovin Dubai<\/em><\/a>, he also recently said: \u201c[Khaled and I are] not speaking right now because it\u2019s all about Palestine, and if you\u2019re not talking about Palestine, get out of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Musallet has referred to Khaled as his cousin<\/a> several times before, though the latter has never publicly done so himself. HipHopDX<\/em> has reached out to the artist\u2019s team for clarification but has not yet received a response.<\/p>\n

According to the latest reports by the Associated Press<\/em><\/a>, more than 29,000 Palestinians have been killed since Hamas launched an attack on Israel back in October that claimed the lives of over a thousand civilians.<\/p>\n

Soon after, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) unleashed a series<\/a> of onslaughts on the occupied territory \u2014 the indiscriminate bombardment as part of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s pursuit of \u201ctotal victory\u201d and the \u201ceternal disarmament of Gaza\u201d<\/a> has now become one of the most fatal and catastrophic military campaigns in recent history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A large number of public figures have remained quiet or neutral on the issue. Soon after the attacks broke out last year, DJ Vlad singled out Drake and DJ Khaled (who are of Jewish and Palestinian descent, respectively) for their \u201cradio silence\u201d amid all the bloodshed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou sort of see what\u2019s been happening, when you look at the Gaza\u2013Israel situation. It\u2019s horrific,\u201d he said during an interview on The Breakfast Club<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAnd I put out a statement about that myself. I said, you know, that I feel sorry for all the citizens from Israel and Palestine that are caught up in what their leaders are choosing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt\u2019s a serious topic. And when I sat back and looked at it, I was like, Drake is the most famous Jewish person on Earth \u2026 and Khaled is the most famous Palestinian in the world. But neither one of them has said anything about this at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDrake is doing this whole thing where he\u2019s literally writing paragraphs about Joe Budden because his feelings were hurt about an album review,\u201d he concluded. \u201cSo it\u2019s not like they don\u2019t have time. This shit runs deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not long after, Drake signed a letter calling for an immedia<\/a>te ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
