In September 2019, Khaled revealed that he and his wife were expecting their second child together. The “No Brainer” rapper shared a video of Nicole getting an ultrasound as their son Asahd got visibly excited. “Asahd you’re about to have a brother,” Khaled told his son at the time. Asahd responded, “Daddy, another one.”
Khaled captioned the video, “God is the greatest.” He added, “All I ever wanted to do was inspire the world to be great and to leave a legacy. Almost 3 years ago when I found out my queen was expecting our son Asahd I knew my life would change forever and that OUR legacy would soon be on the way. After that blessing, I released some of my biggest albums to date (Grateful and Father Of Asahd) inspired by his greatness.”
He continued, “Just when I thought life couldn’t get any better, I received another blessing that my queen is expecting an addition to our legacy. I’m feeling more inspired than ever now. As we go into this journey I’m taking FANLUV along with me to keep the love and blessings flowing to the world! #FAMILY.”
Khaled concluded, “God is the greatest. MAMA ASAHD, ASAHD WE GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALLAH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!! MY QUEEN, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! ASAHD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! And to the little boy in my QUEEN'S BELLY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! #WETHEBEST!”
