Cameron Jibril Thomaz (born September 8, 1987),[2] known artistically as Wiz Khalifa, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and actor. Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he signed with the local independent label Rostrum Records to release his debut studio album, Show and Prove (2006). His contract entered a short-lived joint venture with Warner Bros. Records the following year. His Eurodance-influenced 2008 single, "Say Yeah" received urban radio airplay and entered both the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Songs charts, becoming his first minor hit.[3]

Key Information

Thomaz then parted ways with Warner Bros. and independently released his second album, Deal or No Deal (2009). He released two further mixtapes until signing with Atlantic Records in July 2010.[4] He adopted an urban hip-hop-influenced approach for his debut single for the label, "Black and Yellow." A tribute to his hometown of Pittsburgh, the song peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and received two Grammy Award nominations. Two of his follow-up singles, "Roll Up" and "No Sleep", peaked within the top 40 of the chart; all three preceded the release of his third album and major label debut, Rolling Papers (2011). Despite mixed critical reception, the album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.[5]

His fourth album, O.N.I.F.C. (2012) was met with similar critical and commercial response, and supported by the singles "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "Remember You" (featuring the Weeknd). His fifth album, Blacc Hollywood (2014) became his first to debut atop the Billboard 200, and was supported by the lead single "We Dem Boyz." His 2015 single, "See You Again" (featuring Charlie Puth) was released for the soundtrack to the film Furious 7, in tribute to late actor Paul Walker. The song peaked the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks, received diamond (14× platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), earned three Grammy Award nominations, and yielded Thomaz's furthest commercial success. His sixth album, Rolling Papers 2 (2018) matched its titular predecessor in chart position, and was supported by the sleeper hit single "Something New" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign).[6]

Outside of music, Thomaz has acted on television in Dickinson and The Eric Andre Show, the lead role alongside Snoop Dogg in the 2012 stoner comedy film Mac & Devin Go to High School, and voice roles in the animated series American Dad!, Duncanville, and Big City Greens. Thomaz founded the record label Taylor Gang Entertainment in 2008, through which he has signed artists including Juicy J, Ty Dolla Sign, and Berner. Known for his abundant usage of cannabis, Thomaz launched his own cannabis brand, Khalifa Kush, in 2016, which expanded for release in nationwide dispensaries in 2022.[7]

Early life

[edit]

Cameron Jibril Thomaz was born on September 8, 1987, in Minot, North Dakota, to parents serving in the Air Force.[3][2][8][9] His parents divorced when Khalifa was about three years old. He was a military brat, frequently moving around with his parents' military service. Khalifa lived in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan before settling in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with his mother around 1996, where he attended Taylor Allderdice High School.[3][10] Soon after moving to Pittsburgh, Khalifa began to write and perform his own lyrics before he was a teenager.[11]

His stage name is derived from Khalifa, an Arabic word meaning "successor", and wisdom, which was shortened to Wiz when Khalifa was a young boy.[12] Khalifa stated to Spinner.com that the name also came from being called "young Wiz 'cause I was good at everything I did, and my granddad is Muslim, so he gave me that name; he felt like that's what I was doing with my music." He got a tattoo of his stage name on his 17th birthday.[13][14]

By the age of 15, he was regularly recording his music at a local studio called I.D. Labs.[15] Impressed by the young teen's talent, E. Dan, the owner of the studio offered Khalifa an intern job at the studio in exchange for free recording time. Dan, being a veteran of the Pittsburgh hip-hop scene, would help develop and mentor the young artist early on in his career.[16][15]

Career

[edit]

2005–2008: Early mixtapes and Show and Prove

[edit]

Rostrum Records president Benjy Grinberg first heard about Wiz Khalifa in 2004 when the rapper's contribution to a mixtape of various new Pittsburgh artists attracted his interest.[17] When Grinberg finally met the 16-year-old artist, he immediately decided he wanted to work with him, later telling HitQuarters: "Even though he wasn't all the way developed you could just tell that he was a diamond in the rough, and that with some polishing, guidance and backing he could become something special." Khalifa signed to the label shortly after and began a seven-year period of artist development.[17] Khalifa released his first mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, in early 2006. The mixtape paved the way for his first full-length album entitled Show and Prove later that year. Khalifa was declared an "artist to watch" that year in Rolling Stone magazine.[18][19]

In 2007, Khalifa signed to Warner Bros. Records and released two mixtapes through Rostrum Records: Grow Season, hosted by DJ Green Lantern and released on July 4, 2007, and Prince of the City 2, released on November 20, 2007. His debut Warner Bros. single "Say Yeah" reached number 25 on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 music chart and number 20 on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks. The song samples "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay. Khalifa's vocals from "Say Yeah" appear near the end of Pittsburgh mashup producer Girl Talk's 2008 album, Feed the Animals, over music from Underworld's "Born Slippy", Usher's "Love in This Club", and the Cure's "In Between Days".[20] Khalifa appeared with The Game, David Banner, and Play-n-Skillz at U92's Summer Jam at the USANA Amphitheatre in West Valley City, Utah on August 2, 2008.[21] Khalifa released the mixtapes Star Power in September 2008, and Flight School in April 2009 on Rostrum Records.

Khalifa parted ways with Warner Bros. Records in July 2009 after numerous delays in releasing his planned debut album for the label, First Flight. Khalifa stated to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that, "I learned a lot during my time there and matured as an artist during the process. I'm happy to be moving on with all of my material and having the chance to be in control of my next moves".[22] Khalifa appeared with Girl Talk, Modey Lemon, Donora, Grand Buffet, and Don Caballero at the Amphitheatre at Station Square in Pittsburgh on July 31, 2009, where he announced that his relationship with Warner Bros. was over.[23]

Lifestyle, habits, and public persona

Wiz Khalifa has publicly described his as a core element of his daily routine, stating in June 2025 that he smokes approximately 30 joints per day, framing it as a form of mental training that enhances focus, creativity, and even breath control during physical activities. He maintains that this habit integrates seamlessly with his workflow, distinguishing it from mere recreational use by emphasizing its role in sustaining productivity amid a demanding career. Khalifa incorporates regular fitness regimens into his lifestyle, often sharing updates on gym sessions aimed at building muscle mass, such as after travel-induced weight loss in 2017, and follows a high-protein diet including eggs, sausage, oatmeal, chicken, rice, and post-workout shakes to support energy needs. While he has explored plant-based elements like grow-your-own mushroom kits under his personal brand, his overall approach prioritizes caloric surplus for physical gains over strict dietary restrictions. Originally rooted in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Khalifa relocated his primary residence to Los Angeles, purchasing a $4.6 million mansion in Sherman Oaks in the mid-2010s before listing properties in Encino and selling his Pittsburgh-area home for $945,500 in March 2025.

Controversies

In May 2014, Wiz Khalifa was arrested at in after authorities discovered a small canister of marijuana during a security checkpoint screening. He faced misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, posted $300 , and was released the same day. An was issued in 2014 after he failed to appear in court, but the case resolved in June 2015 when he pleaded guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia, paying a $500 fine and avoiding further jail time. On July 13, 2024, during a at the Beach Please! Festival in Costinești, , Khalifa smoked a onstage, leading to charges of illegal possession of dangerous drugs filed the following day by Romanian authorities. He was not detained and departed the country shortly after, but prosecutors completed their investigation and indicted him on October 15, 2024, for possession of approximately 18 grams of , an offense punishable by fines or up to two years' imprisonment under Romanian law where recreational use remains prohibited. The Court ruled in April 2025, imposing a €700 fine for possession and consumption without incarceration. These incidents, centered on cannabis-related misdemeanors, reflect Khalifa's public embrace of marijuana—tied to his Khalifa Kush brand—but underscore legal vulnerabilities for touring artists in jurisdictions with strict prohibitions, contrasting with varying decriminalization trends. No convictions or extended detentions have resulted from his arrests, which have consistently ended in fines or dismissals.

Public statements, lyrics, and cultural backlash

Wiz Khalifa's lyrics have drawn criticism for glorifying marijuana use and incorporating the N-word, themes perceived by some conservative commentators and institutional stakeholders as promoting irresponsible behavior. In 2012, his scheduled performance at the prompted backlash from alumni, who contended that songs emphasizing drug consumption conflicted with the university's stated values of integrity and respect. Similar objections have arisen in academic settings, where his work is cited as exemplifying hip-hop's frequent association with and explicit vernacular, though such critiques often overlook the genre's broader artistic context of . In July 2018, the line "smoke got my eyes looking Korean" from the track "Hot Now" on his album Rolling Papers 2 sparked accusations of racial insensitivity toward Asians, with detractors labeling it stereotypical and demeaning. Khalifa rejected calls for an apology, asserting he was not racist, maintained Korean friendships, and urged critics to "chill out," framing the lyric as a casual reference to marijuana-induced eye redness rather than malice. Defenders of the expression invoke artistic license in hip-hop, where hyperbolic imagery serves stylistic purposes, though opponents argue it perpetuates ethnic tropes without sufficient cultural nuance. Khalifa's public statements have also provoked backlash across ideological lines. During a July 2018 Breakfast Club interview, he advised straight men to break bananas in half before eating rather than biting them whole, deeming the latter "sus" in public settings, a remark interpreted by some as implying homophobic associations with phallic imagery and fragile masculinity norms. Critics from progressive circles accused him of reinforcing outdated about male sexuality, while he did not issue a formal retraction. In April 2025, on The Joe Budden Podcast, Khalifa expressed belief in a flat , citing extensive personal travel as evidence against a spherical model and questioning narratives, a claim widely mocked online for contradicting empirical geography and ironic given his recent album art depicting a . Associations with controversial figures have compounded scrutiny. In July 2024, Khalifa faced criticism for socializing with boxer days after Garcia's Spaces rant featuring racial slurs against and inflammatory comments about , prompting accusations that Khalifa overlooked the remarks' severity. Later, in a December 2024 interview, Khalifa downplayed the issue, noting Garcia had not directed the N-word at him personally and emphasizing selective confrontation. Broader critiques of his oeuvre highlight repetitive motifs of and as limiting artistic depth, contrasting with defenses prioritizing unfiltered expression over thematic innovation.

Reception and legacy

Commercial success and achievements

Wiz Khalifa's music has sold an estimated 78 million units worldwide, incorporating physical sales, downloads, and streaming equivalents as of 2025. His breakthrough single "Black and Yellow" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2011, while the album Blacc Hollywood debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2014, selling 90,000 copies in its first week. The single "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth, released in 2015 as part of the Furious 7 soundtrack, achieved the highest commercial impact, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 non-consecutive weeks and certified 14 times Platinum by the RIAA for 14 million units sold in the United States. Globally, it generated combined sales and track-equivalent streams exceeding 20.9 million units in 2015 alone. Khalifa's catalog has accumulated over 23 billion streams on as of October 2025, driven primarily by "" with more than 2.2 billion plays. Concert tours have contributed significantly to revenue, with co-headlining engagements such as the leg with Fall Out Boy generating multimillion-dollar grosses from sold-out arenas. He has received 26 awards from 104 nominations, including three for Top Rap Artist (2012), Top Streaming Song (2015, for "See You Again"), and Top Rap Song (2015, for "See You Again"). Additional accolades encompass for Best New Artist (2011) and for Best Hip-Hop Video (2011, for "Black and Yellow"). Diversified income streams, including music catalog sales and endorsements, have elevated his to approximately $70–80 million as of 2025.

Critical assessments and cultural impact

Wiz Khalifa's has elicited mixed critical responses, with centered on his melodic delivery and for crafting laid-back party tracks that resonate through their simplicity and feel-good ethos. Reviewers have highlighted how his work prioritizes accessibility, often evoking a carefree vibe suited to casual listening and social settings, as seen in assessments of projects like Fly Times, Vol. 1 where the emphasis on easy-burning appeal outweighs deeper scrutiny. This approach has sustained fan engagement, evidenced by consistent streaming numbers and tour draw, but critics argue it comes at the expense of innovation post his 2010-2011 breakout with "." Conversely, detractors frequently cite superficial lyrics as a core weakness, describing them as repetitive and centered on materialism, casual relationships, and cannabis without substantive exploration or narrative complexity. Albums such as O.N.I.F.C. (2012) drew backlash for shifting toward pop-oriented production that diluted the raw energy of his earlier mixtapes, alienating purists who viewed it as commercial pandering. Similar sentiments persist in evaluations of later releases, where the prioritization of vibe over lyrical rigor is seen as emblematic of broader trends in mainstream rap favoring consistency and marketability. Khalifa's cultural footprint extends to normalizing stoner aesthetics in hip-hop, aligning with U.S. cannabis legalization milestones like Colorado's 2012 recreational rollout and subsequent state expansions. Through initiatives such as branding rolling papers, releasing themed mixtapes, and launching Khalifa Kush in 2016—now expanded to markets like Germany in 2024—he has embedded weed-centric imagery into mainstream discourse, spending reportedly up to $10,000 monthly on consumption to model unapologetic use. His Pittsburgh roots further catalyzed local rap visibility, signing with Rostrum Records in 2007 and elevating the city's scene via national hits that paved paths for artists like Mac Miller, though debates linger on whether his adaptable, vibe-driven formula embodies enduring influence or transient popularity.
