Apple Debuts New Apple Music Ads Featuring DJ Khaled, Naomi Campbell and Ray Liotta

Apple this weekend debuted new ads for Apple Music, featuring record producer, label executive, and musician DJ Khaled. The ads, which aired following the Apple Music launch of DJ Khaled and Drake's new track "For Free," feature DJ Khaled with Naomi Campbell and Ray Liotta.

The first of the two ads, filmed with Naomi Campbell, was shared by DJ Khaled on Twitter. In the spot, DJ Khaled drives Campbell down the Pacific Coast Highway in a Rolls Royce while listening to his new track.


The second ad, featuring Ray Liotta, was shared on the Beats 1 YouTube channel yesterday. In this spot, Liotta and Khaled are in a nail salon getting pedicures while talking about the perks of Apple Music.


DJ Khaled first began partnering up with Apple in February, when he launched his We the Best Radio Show on Beats 1 Music. DJ Khaled's "For Free" single is from his upcoming album Major Key, which is also expected to debut on Apple Music.

Apple has been heavily promoting Apple Music in recent months, and has featured a series of videos starring Taylor Swift.

Apple appears to be rolling out a new logo for Apple Music in its upcoming set of software updates. The logo has been spotted in both macOS 27.2 beta 3 and iOS 27.2 beta 3, and it's identical to the one that Apple used in its Apple Music Hall announcement last month.

Apple used to connect with its user base.

Now it just alienates people with crass celebrity adverts and poor products.

Change has to come soon.

Dear Apple Inc,

I only say this because I love you.

Your ad campaigns for the last several years are ****. Go back to your roots with the "Think Different", "I'm A Mac", etc campaigns.

These celebrity centered ads make me want to gag and puke.

Long Suffering Apple Fanatic
