DJ Khaled Drops Video for “Thankful” f/ Jeremih and Lil Wayne
Written by SOURCE on May 3, 2021
DJ Khaled has given fans the visuals for the Lil Wayne and Jeremih-assisted “THANKFUL,” the lead track off his 12th studio album Khaled Khaled, which dropped on Friday.
The video starts with Khaled walking towards the camera with choir members flanked on either side of him. While on bended knee, he’s joined by Jeremih, a welcome sight following his near-fatal bout with COVID-19. The singer was hospitalized and taken to the ICU late last year where he was placed on a ventilator.
“I had the tube down my throat for about a week and a half,” Jeremih recalled during an appearance on Sway in the Morning. “I was really, like, in a dream and I ain’t gonna lie, I woke up about two times and all I remember is just seeing a white light … What I ended up having—and I don’t mind sharing it because now, you know, I’m here—it was called a [multisystem] inflammatory syndrome. MIS. Which is a rare case of, you know, cause and effect of [COVID-19]. My whole insides, all my organs, became inflamed. It was going down.”
