DJ Khaled turned 'major key' into a signature phrase during his hugely popular Snapchat videos in the mid-2010s, where he shared motivational advice, daily routines, and keys to success in short, quotable clips. The phrase spread through memes, remixes, and reaction videos, and it was reinforced by his 2016 album titled Major Key. Creators still reuse the line because it instantly signals confidence and insider knowledge, turning an ordinary tip, achievement, or reveal into something that feels like a proven formula for winning.
