Rothman's Roadmap reports that: "Last week Khaled M. Khaled, known popularly as DJ Khaled, and the company ATK Entertainment filed a lawsuit objecting to the alleged uses of his son’s name by a clothing company. The complaint (as resubmitted yesterday) alleges violations of trademark law, right of publicity and privacy laws (under N.Y. Civil Rights Law §§50-51), and state and federal unfair competition laws.

DJ Khaled’s son, Asahd Tuck Khaled, is approximately 18 months old. He was born in October of 2016. At approximately three months of age, Asahd was given his own Twitter handle and has more than 47,000 followers.  Apparently this helped catapult him to "best baby"-of-2017 status, as chosen by Cosmopolitan magazine. Khaled accuses the defendants of being “trademark pirates” trying to profit off Khaled’s and his son’s fame.
