Kid Capri has responded to a video of Wiz Khalifa ranting at a pair of DJs during a recent performance at Poppy Night Club in Los Angeles.
In the viral clip, Khalifa is seen screaming at DJ Mike Danger and MC Tron in front of the audience, reportedly incensed the pair weren’t playing any selections from his latest album Multiverse, which was released on Friday (July 29).
“Bitch ass n-gga, if you wanna fight, n-gga we can do it,” Khalifa can be heard saying. “Y’all n-ggs suck, don’t hug me bitch. Y’all n-ggas suck. Play my new shit n-gga, play it n-gga, play ‘Bad Ass Bitches.’ Y’all are horrible DJs. I came here tonight to promote for y’all and have a good ass time and have a great time, but you know what I’m not gonna do?”
He added: “I’m not gonna sit here and let these hoe ass n-ggas act like this shit is acceptable. I’m a real ass n-ggas dawg. My album just came out today. My album just came out today, play my new shit dawg.”
The video has prompted responses from a number of members of the DJ community, including Kid Capri, who in a new video said he was surprised by the Taylor Gang leader’s actions as he thought Wiz was a nice guy when they met.
“When I met you, you was a cool dude, man. That’s why I’m a little surprised why you would disrespect those DJs like that,” Capri said. “Those kids is young dudes, probably, you know, scared and nervous that they playing for you, happy that they’re playing for you. [They’re] probably not as professional and on-point as you are, but for you to stand up there and disrespect them like that, man, that was just crazy.”
Kid Capri then referenced his recent Breakfast Club interview, where he talked about the lack of respect some DJs have faced over the years and how they’ve often been viewed as just someone who plays records behind an artist.
“It be stuff like this [Wiz incident] that minimizes what the DJ is,” continued Capri. “I don’t know if you was lit or drunk, or whatever the case may be, but if that was me and you spoke to me like that, I’d have swung on you right away. Immediately. And we would have dealt with it however we’d have to deal with afterwards. But I wouldn’t have went for that.
“They’re young kids, and I get it, but these are the same dudes that play your music, man. DJs play your music, you know what I’m saying? But you get in front of that crowd and disrespect them like that, I just didn’t agree with that. That was wack.”

In other Wiz news, the rapper has stated that he believes Hip Hop is trapped “in a box” because of the current divide between old and new generations.
Having just dropped off his latest funk-infused album Multiverse, the Taylor Gang head sat down for an interview with XXL where he spoke about the lush live instrumentals he relied on for the backdrop of the project.

He said he made the decision to do this because he wanted to show the younger generation a different “musical experience” than they’re used to.
“It just reminds people of different musical experiences,” he told the outlet. “Right now, we’re kind of in a box just because the younger generation, they haven’t really experienced the things that we went through, you know what I mean? So, it’s like, to give them that option so they can feel it and know what it feels like.”
He continued: “That’s not to say that anything is right or wrong or better or worse, but it’s just to give you that experience and involve you into it, and to give you a chance to get that on a heightened level.”
Unfortunately power gets to some peoples head. That was a clown move.
That was some punk shit from Wiz to do that, these kids shouldn’t have gotten ounked like that either, they probably was thinking they never gon DJ again or some shit but at some point you have to stand up for yourself and man tha fuck up
naw fr fr, wiz a goofball for that. i didnt no he released an album. this dude the defintion of corney
I guess money and fame can make a mf forget about reality. So Wiz thought calling these DJS ‘ out would help his promotion. Man get da f*** outta here ?
Wiz been wack ever since Juicy J stopped holding his hand. Weak as s bars
Yeah, that was some hoe shit. I could see if his shit was poppin’…but it still wouldn’t be cool to do that…shit I ain’t know he dropped anything. Dude ain’t been relevant since I don’t know when. I hope the OG DJ’s give some support to those cats and not play his shit and speak out on it like Capri did.
This dude is a whole clown car. Get the fuck outta here, disrespecting the people who put you on like that. Never listening to a single track of his again if I can avoid it.
What if the DJs didn’t make any mistakes at all, maybe the music was just ass… dam wiz…
KID CAPRI you fit my feel
He started training in MMA and now he thinks he’s a tough guy. That DJ should’ve tapped his jaw!
Wiz is a cool, humble guy. I’m shocked to see this happen. His new album, like the last couple, really isn’t good. He’s taking out his frustrations on these guys. Maybe be less high and work with producers you have access to that make great beats. Harry Fraud comes to mind, amongst many others. I’ve worked with Wiz in the past. This is extremely out of character. His side buster ass entourage are a bunch of clowns, like every rapper.
It’s really not out of character if you actually know who Wiz is. He isn’t a chill, relaxed stoner type. Thats the appearance he sold to the public. You bought it!
Kid Capri need to STFU – he wasn’t there he don’t know the situation and he shouldn’t be talking about he would have swung on people. What is wrong with hip hop that it’s just clowns threatening people? You are there to play records create a fun vibe not get in feelings and start fights. Wiz wanted a record played DJs didn’t play it not the first time this happened won’t be the last
YOU STFU CLOWN, you probably just like wiz threatening mfs that ain’t from the streets and won’t hesitate to break ya fucking eye socket
On here talking loud to who? Why? Kid Capri has a long distinguished career as a DJ – he’s also over 60. He’s not swinging on anybody anywhere anytime so he sounds like a chump. Someone screwed up and wiz got mad at the dj. It happens and these djs sound very entitled and hostile which was my original point, save the jail talk for somebody who gives a fk
Lmao, the crowd wouldn’t even wanna hear the new junk. They like the old stuff, aka the only good stuff from Wiz. If I was DJing for Wiz, I’d play his not bad music too!
Wiz was an ass for that… but kid capri better not swing on wiz lol
