Yesterday, I had no clue who rapper Wiz Khalifa was until he came through my city and performed live at Masquerade on saturday.
That’s when I asked celebrity photographer Prince Williams about him. Prince explained everything: how he’s considered the next Snoop Dogg (because of his affinity for weed); and how he has a large underground cult following (mostly white college kids).
This morning I awakened to the news that Khalifa was arrested in Greenville, North Carolina for what else: drug possession.
According to MTV.com, a Pitt County Detention Center spokesman confirmed that Khalifa (born Cameron Thomaz), 22, was booked into the jail at around 1:30 a.m. He posted $300,000 bail and was released this morning around 8 a.m.
A bail that huge means he was caught with a ton of weed that he was possibly growing — not your average carry around joints for personal use.
The rapper was charged with a felony count of trafficking in marijuana, a felony count of maintaining a dwelling/vehicle/place for sale or storage of marijuana and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Khalifa obviously failed to take heed to Bow Wow’s warning — that the cops are monitoring the Internet.
Khalifa’s last tweet before he was arrested was: “smoke outs in greenville nc tonite. fall thru wit ur finest plant life”
The weed heads weren’t the only ones who fell through last night.

According to MTV News, Khalifa recently boasted about having a $10,000-a-month weed habit and he launched his own brand of rolling papers last month.
Hopefully, Khalifa can still monitor his business ventures from behind bars where he will be for the next couple of years after he’s sentenced.

Dummy… these fools dont believe in hip hop cops
They have a twitter page too! DUMMIES
Black and Yellow…
*in my Day-Day voice*
And who the fluck are you????
Dumb azzes and the internet just don’t mix.
Poor thang, I hope he gets three hot meals in the slammer, he looks emaciated.
That’s just about some small town trying to get they repup. The real hiphop cops only in Ny so u should be safe anywhere else. He should ask snoop how he travels around and don’t get caught. Wiz is a nice dude I met him sat he was high as a kite but cool nonetheless. #taylorgang
I had no idea who he was either Sandra, until my 3 year old came in the room singing “black and yellow”. I was like what’s that about and he told me that my older son listens to that song all the time… SMDH needless to say I have to do an iPod check now and start to delete some stuff.
….lock his tail up and throw away the key!!!!
I thought he was kinda cute until I saw him with his shirt off. Gag.
Stupidity has become an epidemic with rappers. Do they really think they won’t get caught? Or are they hoping that getting arrested will get them more notoriety?
I had no clue who you were before you were arrested, now you’re just another dumba$$ rapper sitting behind bars.

im so confused how bond for drug possession is 300,000 bucks there. wtf? i gotta get u negroidians off my twitter page too. white folks talk about money, all yall niglets talkin about clubs and gettin it in.
Lol yeah #taylorgang is the crew kinda like Justin bieber got his #beliebers I been a fan of his music awhile he got a huge underground following but that black and yellow taking him mainstream. I been bumping his last mixtape kush and oj more than most albums that came out this year.
Whatever happened to kepping you private business PRIVATE team youwontseenothingidoonnobodiesinternet
I wondered who that song was by. Should have known charges would be pending soon…gotta get that exposure!!!!
He was caught with 30lbs that’s why his bail was $300,000. If he get’s a good lawyer ( not Phaedra Parks) and checks into rehab, he’ll get probation.
over it
lol@Nika405 says, right they need to get there life in order. Weed is not freaking legal in all states dumb asses
Never heard of him!!!
Wiz is from Pittsburgh! philly loves him… a bunch of weed heads!
What until its legalized, why not fight for it to be legalized
im not condoning the behaviors but God gives up free will and if they want to smoke without causing harm to others so be it

I actually have to agree with Sandra and West Coast Chick on comment #24.I only support the positive rap artists now: Common, Lupe, Wale, etc. I’m tired of hearing about guns, b*tches, weed, alcohol, money, money, sex, cars, clothes, ecstacy, cocaine, syrup, aliens, martians, money, euros, pesos, etc…
dang wiz! you gots to be more careful baby…
the bd loves this guy. he snuck in one of his concerts here and said is full of the demographic sandra describes- white college kids.
he’s nice though.
i get a headache listening to him sometimes, his scent permeates through his mixtapes i believe lol…
Thanks Kingstonn… I will have to start deleting….
don’t you hate when you hit submit then see all your typos?!

I’ve noticed that Wale falls in line with the “nig-norance” on all of his features with other people. His mixtapes and LPs don’t sound nothing like that though.
but sandra wiz is a self made artist he was booking and getting more money than artist on major labels. the record labels came to him because the movement was so strong. to me good music is good music i take it for what its worth. i dont smoke weed and never have but i still enjoy his music even though thats a major topic of his. and chase curen$$y would fall under the same category as wiz so if you dont want him listening to one then u probably dont want him listening to the other. even though if u take it off the ipod im sure he will find a way to still listen as i did as a youth lol.
I think he only does that to fit in with whoever he’s on a record with.
This is the crazy thing, I love Wiz Khalifa and I’m not a pot smoker. His music is better that what has came out the past couple of years.. I mean think about it, you have these grown men and little boys talking about killing and shooting and selling drugs and your child is listening to it.. You even hear the music with disrespecting women calling them all types of names.. In his music It’s about his lifestyle and what he likes to do.. He has not one time said he sells crack or even sells weed, if anything he’s buying… LIGHTEN UP…

I agree! I been listening to Wale for YEARS!!!! When he was just a local DMV artist. He really is talented and can make a decent album without talking cursing or talking crazy. I still like “Paint a Picture”. #DMV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I meant “without cursing or talking crazy” Please excuse the typos
I like Wiz too! I got a thing for tats so his body doesn’t disgust me although he can use a meal or five
Forget the weed smoking…when you look like you just chewed a stick of Land O Lakes butter there is a problem…Butter Ball Turkey Teeth…YUCK!!!!!
Umm even I’ve heard of him (which is saying a lot) but 30 pounds???? I’ve only seen 30 pounds once in my life and I got the hell outta where I was #nodrugcasesforme
Anyway, I’m one of the few black folks who doesn’t think weed should be legal but I don’t have anything against those who smoke and still handle their business so I could care less about this case… next time maybe he won’t put his smoking location on the internet #lessonlearned
#19 oooooooh 30lbs of weed ok. I thought SR was exaggerating when she said a ton of weed, but she was serious.
HEY SOLD OUT OF ORANGES IM BACK WHERE YALL AT?
@ ALBoy
In the Eddie Shlong post.
i can t do the bel thing im bout to be in lurk mode
His song “Black and Yellow” is actually really good. It reminds me of 90’s rap, which is a good thing. He not only smokes weed like Snoop but he also looks like him and coincidentally Snoop loves to wear Pittsburgh sports gear (which is where Wiz is from) mmmm….. I agree about needing positive role models in rap. At least there is B.O.B, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kwele and others.
@Chase, I had no idea he was the one who did “black & yellow”
In my Smokey voice …puff puff pass fool…
I got the cats mix tape from an ex girlfriend..
i like his flow…seems to be a nice up and comer…and now he has his jail credentials he bout to BLOW UP!!!
ok i kid and i kid some more..
Like the cats music but #nosupportfordumbrappers
i can t do the bel thing im bout to be in lurk mode

My little old hometown finally makes the blogs and this is what it’s for…that’s just great.
Wiz Khalifa is NOT a good rapper. Reminds you of rappers from the 90’s.
“No key, push to start” he’s garbage.
Snoop dogg in his early career was way better. People are so easily convinced these days.
thats actually my favorite line in the song because i have a push button start. but rap in the 90s was the best period of rap period.
My brother just told me about this guy the other day…I had no idea who he was either, but he made himself look a damn FOOL. Does he remember to eat in between tokes tho? #Birdcage
