Wiz Khalifa Talks Police Brutality And Relationship With Kanye West
“There’s competition in rap, and Kanye obviously sees me as that.”
Wiz Khalifa is preparing to drop Rolling Papers 2, and he recently sat down with Playboy to answer 20 questions. The Pittsburgh rapper discussed his experiences with police brutality in his hometown, his relationship with his ex-wife Amber Rose, his rise to superstardom, and his Twitter beef with Kanye West over a perceived Max B/Kim Kardashian slight.
"I've never been pulled over without them having a gun to my head. Even with traffic stops, they'll put a gun to your head," Wiz told Playboy regarding police brutality in Pittsburgh. "They're cool about weed, though. I got jammed up a lot in Pittsburgh, but I never did real time."
Wiz also looked back on his Twitter incident with Kanye West:
"That was a weird situation, because it was something I would do in real life. All I did was speak my mind. I'm a Max B fan, and if me and Kanye were in a room and he said, "Yo, I'mma name my album Waves," I'd be like, "Don't do that. You're not allowed to do that." Nobody really does that these days. Nobody checks niggas like, "Nah, nigga." No one is above being spoken to, and if you've got real friends, they'll tell you how they feel. That's how I handle all my situations in real life. Even if I have a problem with somebody, I'm not gonna advertise it. We can go around the corner and we can really do it. But all in front of people? That's not me. Niggas talk shit every day, and niggas say shit about my ex, niggas say shit about my kid. It's all good. There's competition in rap, and Kanye obviously sees me as that."
