Asahd Khaled’s First Birthday Hosted by DJ Khaled and Sean “Diddy” Combs at LIV: DJ Khaled and his fiancé Nicole Tuck threw a lavish birthday bash for their 1-year-old son Asahd and transformed Miami’s hottest nightclub, LIV, into an over the top jungle. LIV was transformed into the ultimate day club playground equipped with wild greenery, real tigers and party host, Sean “Diddy” Combs. During the fete, which was presented by Tot Living by Haute Living, Asahd sat upon his throne as King of the Jungle. There were live dancers, who were dressed as jungle animals, a jungle-themed photo booth and a “baby valet” station, where the kids could take a test drive around in toy luxury automobiles. Of course, the event wasn’t just about celebrating; it was also about giving back. Khaled asked that donations be made to UNICEF. Notable attendees included Diddy, Karolina Kurkova, Jonathan Cheban, Lisa and Lenny Hochstein, Fat Joe’s wife Lorena Cartegna, David Grutman and wife Isabela.
