On July 25, 2013, DJ Khaled publicly proposed to fellow Cash Money Records labelmate Nicki Minaj through a video uploaded onto the website for television network MTV; he additionally offered her a ten-carat Rafaello & Co. engagement ring, valued at approximately $500,000.[1] He later reaffirmed his proposal during an interview with DJ Felli Fel of Power 106,[2] although Minaj later stated that his offer was not intended to be taken seriously.[3] The same day, Flex premiered Khaled's new single, titled "I Wanna Be with You" which featured Minaj, as well as frequent collaborators Future and Rick Ross. This led some to believe that his proposal was a publicity stunt to promote his new single.[4][5] Shortly after the song's release, Khaled confirmed it was all a joke and a way to introduce the record.[6]
