Wiz Khalifa emerged as one of the brightest stars of the so-called Blog Era and now he’s a seasoned veteran with two dozen mixtape projects, seven studio albums, and a handful of EPs. Fans of the Pittsburgh stoner can rejoice after Wiz Khalifa teased a release for his highly anticipated Kush & Orange Juice mixtape.
Released in 2010, Wiz Khalifa made a huge splash with the Kush & Orange Juice mixtape, introducing the masses to his laidback delivery, bombastic hooks, and overall cool image. His last project, Wiz Owens, was framed as a mixtape project and reunited him with “Black & Yellow” producer Sledgren along with features from Sosamann, Young Deji, and 24hrs.
Young Khalifa has already dropped a quartet of tracks from Kush & Orange Juice 2, including the tracks, “Hit It Once,” “Bring Your Lungs” featuring fellow chiefing rapper Smoke DZA, Hide It featuring Don Tolliver, and “Khalifa’s Home.”
Although it’s been rumored online that Wiz Khalifa will drop Kush & Orange Juice 2 ahead on the weekend of 420, we scoured his social media pages for confirmation and came up empty. That said, we’re hoping that it does come soon as it’s been 15 years since that last drop.
The industrious rapper and businessman also just released his branded line of rolling papers via his Khalifa Kush brand. Learn more about the rolling papers here.

For a minute there it seemed like Wiz Khalifa was dropping off new visuals every week for a year straight and while the man has been MIA for a while now, he returns with some new work dedicated to his favorite lady, Mary Jane.
Dropping off some new visuals to his “Roll It Up Freestyle,” Wiz uses a collage of videos that show him traveling from one country to another to turn up at clubs, shows and hotel suites. That man really seems to know how to enjoy himself wherever he goes. We just wonder what he does when he touches down in countries where weed may not be legal.
Back in the states, Jacquees and Dej Loaf know a thing or two about having a good time too and in their clip to “Favorite One,” the duo hit the club to enjoy eachother’s company after chopping it up on a talk show hosted by… Bow Wow?! He might be angling for his own show or something here.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Nino Man, Key Glock, and more.
WIZ KHALIFA – “ROLL IT UP FREESTYLE”
JACQUEES & DEJ LOAF – “FAVORITE ONE”
NINO MAN – “FEEL BETTER”
KEY GLOCK – “3AM IN TOKEYO”
YUNG4EVR – “BRING IT BACK”

At this point in his career, Wiz Khalifa will light up anywhere and everywhere. He was recently arrested for weed in Romania and has since apologized.
As spotted on HipHopDX, the Pittsburgh, Pa., native has been touring throughout Europe this month. On Saturday, July 13, he performed a set at the Beach Please! Festival. During the performance, he smoked and apparently smoked some more afterward and was promptly arrested on drug possession charges.
“During a recital held during a music festival held in the Costinești resort, Constanța county, [Khalifa] possessed over 18 grams of cannabis (risk drug) and consumed (onstage) another amount of cannabis under the shape of a craft cigarette,” a translated Romanian press release read.
Video captured from the scene shows the “See You Again” performer being walked out of the festival by local authorities. It has been confirmed he was released soon after. Wiz Khalifa took to social media to apologize for the situation. |
“Last night’s show was amazing,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”
Individuals convicted of drug possession in Romania can face up to 10 years in prison.

Safaree is trending on X this week and as it happens, it’s never for a reason one would readily expect. The reality television star posted a NSFW gym video mocking Wiz Khalifa and fans online believe they’re having a bulge war.
Earlier this year, Wiz Khalifa, a known gym rat who trains in mixed martial arts, posted a bench curl video in his typical workout shorts with fans noticing that “Little Wiz” was able to be seen in full color through the gear. While it didn’t seem to be an intentional choice, fans made a bit of a commotion but moved on from the moment quickly.
However, Safaree, who operates an OnlyFans page, posted and deleted a video of him doing a similar workout with his goodness and mercy showing through his pants, and fans were taken aback. On OnlyFans, Safaree called his video the “Wiz Khalifa Workout Challenge” although we doubt the Pittsburgh rapper signed up for this particular footrace.
On X, formerly Twitter, the comments are a little lusty with some wondering how Safaree’s ex-girlfriend, Nicki Minaj, managed the, ahem, equipment for the years they dated. Others are calling the former Scaff Beezy corny for doing so while some ladies are saying that his corniness is part of the appeal.
Check out the reactions below. Naturally, we can’t share the video but it’s out there if you’re looking hard enough.

Everyone knows that Wiz Khalifa’s love affair with Mary Jane has been well documented ever since he came into the rap game, but it seems like he may be indulging in another kind of high as the man admitted to being under the influence… while throwing a pitch at a professional baseball game!
On Monday (July 17), Wiz Khalifa threw the first pitch out at the Pirates game in his hometown of Pittsburgh and afterwards took to Twitter to reveal that he was actually on shrooms when he took the mound. Well, at least it wasn’t a performance enhancing drug? Interestingly enough, he announced his intentions beforehand tweeting, “Finna get stoned af and throw this first pitch at the pirates game.”
Get “stoned af” he did but while most of us assumed he’d burn some Khalifa Kush before the ceremonial first pitch, he later tweeted he was actually on some magic mushrooms tweeting, “shroomed out throwin’ a baseball is crazy.”
Luckily, no one was in the batter’s box because that man would’ve gotten plunked. Just look at how Wiz Khalifa missed the plate and actually threw some would be chin music into the batter’s box when it came time to throw some heat.
Benches would’ve cleared had this been an in-game pitch.
Still, it’s pretty cool to see Khalifa take the mound while high out his mind and not even hiding it. Peep a “shroomed out” Wiz Khalifa waving to his adoring fans.
Unfortunately for the team, the Pirates went on to get blown out by the Cleveland Guardians by a healthy score of 11-0. In hindsight, his pitch was probably a preview of what was to come for the rest of the game. They should’ve just let him close it out, f- it.
At least Wiz was able to kick it with the team before taking that horrible loss.

When it comes to Wiz Khalifa videos you can bet it’ll feature lots of footage of him in various places doing what he do and showing you how he’s living and his latest offering is no different.
Continuing to follow the formula for his latest clip to “What Would I Do,” Wiz uses a collage of footage that follows him from his private jet to his concert performances where he blazes some KK on stage while rocking the mic for his adoring fans. Remember when Kanye West was mad at Wiz for saying “KK” back in the day thinking he was talking about Kim Kardashian? What a time.
On the R&B side, Toosii and Khalid are two men going through the motions and in their clip for “Favorite Song” head to the desert to process their feelings as the water runs dry. Those deserts have seen so many R&B tears, b.

It’s been almost a year since Wiz Khalifa dropped his last album, Multiverse and though he hasn’t said when his next project would be landing, the release of his latest visual might hint that he has something on the way.
Dropping off some new visuals to “Why Not Not Why,” Wiz demonstrates what a mixed martial arts training session looks like when he’s got the gloves on before taking to the friendly skies in a private jet on the way to an MMA PPV event. Will Wiz ever step in the ring though? Inquiring minds want to know.
Akon meanwhile isn’t quite done with the music game and for his latest clip to “PROLLY CUT,” the Senegalese-American crooner takes to the club in some interesting attire before throwing on a “Carlton Banks” sweater and turning up sans the “Carlton dance.” He shoulda done the dance. Just sayin.’
