Khaled kid loves Rihanna

-

DJ Khaled spoke about his favorite topic, his 11-monthold son Asahd, at the VH1 Save the Music 20th Anniversar­y Gala on Monday. And Khaled already has a future prom date picked out for the infant — Rihanna. “He is around me when I am working, so he is going to get that energy,” the DJ/producer said of his pride and joy, who drives a customized mini Rolls-Royce. “The same way my family raised me when I was growing up. They brought me around their work . . . Look at me, I came out great!” As for his son’s celebrity status and busy schedule, “You seeing him smiling — he loves being onstage. As a prom date, my son is a Don so she got to be bad. Him and Rihanna would be dope. My son loves Rihanna — when Rihanna kissed him [at a recent video shoot] . . . it was a special moment. Every time I play ‘Wild Thoughts’ [his track featuring RiRi], he dances.” Queen Latifah was honored at the event and told us that even though she changed direction from hip-hop to jazz standards, she believes she still stacks up in today’s rap world. “If anything, I would stand out from the rest — just like I did then — absolutely.” She says that today, “I would not have to do anything differentl­y — all I would have to do is make hot records. The only thing that would be different is that the music would be more ‘trap’ than back in the day.” New mom Naturi Naughton of Starz’s “Power,” says she is adamant about getting back in shape. “My baby will be 3 months . . . I am breast feeding, my uterus is snapping back, my body is doing what it is supposed to do,” she told Page Six. “It has been an amazing journey, and I am having so much fun . . . I work out with my trainer and my friend Teyana Taylor, [who] is killing it. She is my inspiratio­n . . . I saw her when I was pregnant, and she said, ‘Don’t worry, you are going to come right back,’ so I feel good about it.”
