DJ Khaled took on the role of principal for a day at a Miami school to celebrate the student body winning an award for attendance.
Carol City Middle school came first-place in a national attendance contest, winning them a visit from the ‘We The Best’ producer, as well as some laptops.
During an assembly, Khaled announced that he would be donating $10,000 in instruments to the school’s music department and providing lunch from his local fast food restaurant Miami Finga Licking.
