Kerry Washington Thinks Khalid Is DJ Khaled

We love Kerry Washington for the incredible things she’s done as Olivia Pope in Scandal but it might be time to admit that she’s not really that knowledgeable about current trends in music.

The award-winning actor is one of the best in her field but, last night, she proved that she’s not up-to-date on who’s who in the music industry.

As the election results flashed on her screen, she took a break to check in on Twitter, noticing that Khalid posted about Texas potentially going blue, which it ultimately did not. An estimated 96 percent of votes have been reported in Texas, who chose Donald Trump for re-election. Still, Khalid was optimistic that his home state would vote for Biden.

“MAKE TEXAS BLUE,” tweeted the 22-year-old El Paso resident.

Kerry Washington saw the tweet and excitedly reacted, seemingly mistaking Khalid for DJ Khaled and, considering their names are one letter apart, we can’t blame her too much.

“Yes!!!!!! We da best!!!!!! (I couldn’t resist),” wrote Washington in response.

She has since deleted the tweet, which means that she is likely aware of her blatant mistake. Khalid is not DJ Khaled and DJ Khaled is not Khalid. However, we likely all know somebody like this. At the end of the day, there is a Lil Tjay, a Teejayx6, a Teejay3K, and probably other Tjay’s that we’re missing. There’s also, like, a million Baby’s in rap. Do you think she can tell them apart?

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
