DJ Khaled's been active as hell. While fans eagerly await the arrival of Father Of Asahd, he's been working on other ventures. He's been holding down judging duties on The Four with Diddy, he was recently cast for Bad Boys 3, and now, he's taken on hosting duties for the Kids Choice Awards.

DJ Khaled announced earlier today that he'll be taking on hosting duties for the 2019 Kids Choice Awards while letting fans know that he secured the bag with his new deal. 

"Secure the bag alert. The biggest party of the year is about to go up," he said. "That's right. March 23rd, I'm your host. Father of Asahd, DJ Khaled, Nickolodean, Kids Choice Awards -- I'll see you soon."

Khaled is no stranger to the Kids Choice Awards. Last year, he earned himself nominations for Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Song for "I'm The One" featuring Lil Wayne, Quavo, Chance The Rapper and Justin Bieber. This year, he's up for three nominations including Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Collaboration for "No Brainer" ft. Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Justin Bieber. 

In a statement to Hollywood Reporter, the DJ expressed his excitement for the show, saying, "Father of Asahd is here to let you know the biggest party of the year is about to go up! That's right, March 23, I'm your host, DJ Khaled for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. I'll see you soon!"
