DJ Khaled has a lot to be grateful for. Between his No. 1 record Grateful going platinum and his performance at last week’s Billboard Hot 100 Fest, the producer says that it’s all about balancing being “great and grateful.”

“That’s the key,” he told Billboard on the red carpet at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. “I’m going to continue to be great and grateful so we’re going to continue getting platinum albums, platinum songs — everything big.”
