Chapter 4: How does Wiz Khalifa balance fatherhood and his career?
Chapter 5: What advice does Wiz Khalifa have for aspiring artists?
Smoke weed.
Every day?
Yeah, yeah. First thing? Well, I take my dog outside. I have a Doberman. He's a puppy. But he's a big puppy. He's like, he's 10 months now. And he wakes up pretty early. So I take him out.
Chapter 6: How does Wiz Khalifa approach money management?
And then I smoked weed. Do you ever remember a day before that was the case?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember the days before that was the case.
What were those days like?
I was in school. So I would just get up and iron my clothes and, you know, go off to school.
Yeah. Was there ever a time in your life where you tried to stop smoking? Or has that ever been a goal?
Nah. I never really fell back off of it. I never had a reason to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What does it do for you that you feel it needs to be your first habit of the day?

Chapter 7: What is Wiz Khalifa's perspective on masculinity?
Walk us through what that feels like mentally. Like you just described two polar opposites and the majority of people on the planet will never really experience those extremes. They might experience the loneliness in a room, but they won't experience the 30,000 people screaming your name, wearing your merch, whatever it may be, singing along to your music.
What are you feeling in the in-betweens, in the transition of that to that?
You have to have this thing where you kind of wind down and you know what is for where. Like you can't bring the stage home because eventually you have to, you know, wind down and go to sleep and wake up and do it again. And you can't be, you know, too turned off when you're on the stage because you have to bring enough energy to where somebody is way in the back and they can feel you.
So it's really just like a projection of like, you know, your energy and how you feel. And the majority of the times I'm in a great mood. I have great interactions with my fans and the people around stage and things like that. So it goes good. I'm in a great mood, but it's just a lot of this goes from really, really intense. And then it could just all just be shut off at one second.
And I think that that's like the craziest part to me.
Yeah, I can relate. You know, I'd heard that before and I can relate in a small, very small way comparatively, but I remember doing my first ever live show in 2019. It was at the Ace Theater or maybe 2018, something like that in the Ace Hotel. And it was like, I don't know, 1500 people, 2000 people, maybe. It was my first ever show.
And I remember walking off stage, jumping into the car to get driven back home. And it was just the strangest feeling. Like it's so hard to explain it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I wasn't, you know, it wasn't like I don't do music. So I haven't got even that experience, but I'm feeling connected with my audience. Then you get into the back of a black, you know, a black car. You barely know it.
I didn't know anyone in the car with me. I was alone and I'm driving home. And I just felt, I was like, wow, I don't even know how to describe it. The juxtaposition. And then I went on my world tour last year. We did roughly 40 cities around the world. And that was like, you're in a new place every day. And now you're feeling that same thing every day.
And so I know it's much smaller compared to what you've done. But to me, just getting that experience. And I remember that night I was lucky. I came home and my wife had planned a surprise party. So all my closest friends were back in my house. Yeah. And that kind of like, it was a relief. But it is a really weird feeling. Yeah.

Chapter 8: How does Wiz Khalifa view his relationship with God?
Yeah, it's a great experience. That's such a beautiful place to be. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That gratitude to your community for being there for you, for being present with you. Yeah, definitely. What's been your craziest fan experience or fan interaction, a memory that you have with one of the audience members that stays with you?
I think the craziest stuff is when people come up and get me to sign my name on them so they can get it tatted, or they show me tattoos of my face on them. I think those are the craziest interactions. Cause I have tattoos, I'm covered in them. So I know how important that is.
And to be, you know, just me as an artist and doing what I'm doing and to want to have people to want to like tattoo me on them. It's pretty, it's pretty tight.
Yeah. Have people ever done a lyric as well? Yeah. Yeah.
They do lyrics. They do song titles. They do pictures. They do autographs. They do all types of stuff.
Wow. What's your most meaningful tattoo or one that really speaks to you?
Probably, I got a couple. I got, you know, my mom's name. I got my brother's name. My sibling who passed away. I got my little sister. Yeah, probably like my family tattoos mean the most to me. The rest of them are just like stuff about life that I've learned throughout the way or things that I've called myself throughout life. Yeah, yeah.
When was your sibling who passed away?
She passed away, I think maybe seven years ago. I don't remember exactly how many years ago. It could be like, could be more or less.
