Wiz Khalifa has been in the game for quite some time, so it’s safe to say he’s a rap veteran at this point in his career. The Pittsburgh native has seen a lot in his career, even the ugly side with all the recent murders of his rap peers.
On Sunday (December 19), Wiz Khalifa jumped on Twitter to offer his fellow rappers advice on entering the new year. According to Wiz, entertainers need to move smarter and be there for another.
“As entertainers lets try some shit next year,” Wiz wrote on Twitter. “Minding our own business. Not dis respecting each others family, dead homies, or area they come from. Stop using someone else’s significant other as a one up to the other person. Actually showing the same love you expect to get.”
He added, “Not sayin any of these are a direct cause of violence but changin em could help.”
Wiz’s sentiments come days after Drakeo the Ruler was stabbed and later succumbed to his wound over the weekend at the Once Upon a Time in LA festival in Los Angeles, California. A week before that, YG affiliate Slim 400 was shot and killed in LA and last month, Young Dolph saw his life end when he was gunned down in his hometown Memphis, Tennessee.
And in Wiz may not be speaking directly to other rappers, but there’s one who’s going against what he was preaching in his tweets. Blac Youngsta performed at a club in Dallas on Friday (December 17), but it wasn’t a show that people seemed to enjoy.
Blac Youngsta Condemned For Performing Young Dolph Diss In Wake Of Murder
In the video clip shared online, Blac Youngsta performed his 2016 diss record “Shake Sum” aimed at Young Dolph. Fans in attendance seemed taken aback by Blac Youngsta’s move while people on social media dragged him for the lame performance.
Wiz Khalifa is doing his part to spread the happy vibes with his latest release Wiz Got Wings. The album finds Wiz linking back up with his Kush & Orange Juice collaborators, Cardo Got Wings and Sledgren, for a smooth, breezy stroll through the positive mind of the Taylor Gang stoner.

Never happening… You do realize that the rap game is made up of homeless and uneducated people right? These are people with street mentality and no moral values. The vicious circle will only continue. Sorry Wiz, we should be focusing on more security for rappers. They all are an endangered species because they all pledge allegiance to the so-called code of the streets. This is the new form of slavery y’all…
only a very stupid person would say “the rap game is made up of homeless and uneducated people” – stupid and hateful statement by the same person who posts negative proud boy generated sht on every post. Why are you guys so obsessed with black folks when it was a white man who molested you?
Get out of your feelings… colorism has your brain all fucked up. You can never expect change if you can’t take any criticism or accept any accountability. It has fuck all to do with race, unfortunately anyone in “poverty” is just played like a fiddle, famous folk from the music and movie scene all promote the same exact shit which in the end does have a psychological affect on us in many ways you evidently are un aware of. Racism is one of them… not all white people all the same, no black person is the same we are all different in our own collective ways, the “content” you watch listen to will alter your thought process one way or another and if you’re too weak minded to realize you’ll just be another victim of society.
You should do a little research before opening your stupid mouth. Some of the biggest artists in hip hop are college educated. Its funny how so many people have an opinion about rap music but you never hear those same people complaining about violence in movies, no one ever says stop making movies with violence and drugs.Misappropriating the black struggle for money is as old as America itself
It won’t change. Criminals go into the rap game. They trying to mix the two. That’s why rappers get done for drugs.. Guns.. Fights etc. Then have the nerve to talk about the system and prison reform. They lack any morals and decency. How about stop rapping about killing each other and pushing weight.
these labels would rather work with criminals because they are already compromised on the streets and have less leverage to renegotiate if a record jumps off. they use these criminal rappers to intimidate producers and other emcees. That’s why dudes feel they need to have a clique with them at all times. Who jumped Pac at the recording studio? Polly goons affiliated with some record company or another even if the beef was private
