It's worth noting that December was when DJ Khaled got lost at sea on his jet ski and documented the whole situation on Snapchat. That whole incident clearly help the already popular DJ Khaled become a major topic of conversation on Twitter.

It's a strange thing to see how DJ Khaled has become something of a living, breathing meme. His mannerisms, speeches and style have all become fodder for jokes and turned him into a viral sensation. This is a long way from the guy who made people ask, "What exactly does he do?" in regards to his actual relevance in the music industry.
