Music Biz: Diddy & DJ Khaled Starting Hip-Hop Competition TV Show called ‘The Four’
It’s safe to say Diddy & DJ Khaled are some of the biggest hip-hop moguls in the game right now. DJ Khaled has exploded into mainstream popularity thanks to his takeover of Snapchat these past two years and Diddy is well… Diddy, and the #1 earner in hip-hop according to Forbes
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, neither of them have signed but negotiations are far along.
TMZ was told that there will be 4 judges — Diddy is the mogul, DJ Khaled is the producer … there will also be a songwriter, and the 4th judge will be a performer. At least one of the remaining 2 spots will be a woman.
The centerpiece of the show will be contemporary pop with an emphasis on hip-hop. It will be an ongoing battle, with new competitors trying to knock out the front-runners. In the end, the winner will get the entire judges panel behind them to launch their career — a mogul, a producer, a songwriter, and someone to perform onstage with.
This news comes just days after finding out that DJ Khaled will once again be hosting this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards. “I am so excited to host the BET Hip Hop Awards for a second year,” Khaled said. “This is such an iconic show that highlights the hustle of hip hop artists in the industry. It is a huge honor to be a part of a night that pays homage to some of the greatest talent of our generation and I’m looking forward to the amazing performances and tributes. You know I’ll be bringing the cloth talk and the keys – Hip Hop Awards 2017 is going to be major!”
