Palestinian-American artist DJ Khaled looked dapper in an old school tuxedo at the exclusive White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington on Saturday.

Khaled's fiancee Nicole Tuck, who is three-months pregnant with their first child together, was nowhere to be seen on the red carpet.

Instead, the rapper was seen posing for photographs with media mogul Arianna Huffington, whom he referred to as "my date." Arianna, going with Khaled as your date was a "major key to success."

And just as you'd expect from the King of Snapchat, he recorded a fun video live from the event, where he joked that "Miz Huffington wanted him to leave behind his Maybach so that they could take an Uber," according to Perez Hilton.

"We're talkin' more blessings, more wins, we're talkin' Huffington Post, we're talkin' mogul talk on our way to see Obama," he said in another Snapchat video.

The star-studded dinner was of course hosted by US President Barack Obama - marking his last Correspondents' Dinner as President - and saw an obvious rise in celebrity presence to previous years (reality TV star and model Kendall Jenner was on the guest list!).

During the dinner, Khaled chilled out with A-Listers including Bill Nye the Science Guy, former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Steve Aoki.
