In an exclusive interview, rapper Wiz Khalifa sat down with Bobbi Althoff for a candid conversation that covered a range of topics, from Khalifa's childhood to his experiences with marijuana and his outlook on life. What made this interview particularly unique was the presence of weed throughout, with both Khalifa and Althoff indulging as they delved into deep discussions.
Khalifa didn't shy away from discussing his relationship with weed, despite admitting that it doesn't always sit well with him. "No, I've had it in high school," Khalifa revealed when asked about his history with marijuana. However, his experiences were far from pleasant. "I've probably smoked like three times, and three times I felt like I needed to go to the hospital and get, like, help. Yeah, I thought I was going to die all three times," Khalifa confessed.
Despite these harrowing encounters, Khalifa emphasized that weed isn't necessarily a one-size-fits-all experience. "It's definitely not for everybody," he noted, but added that it no longer induces feelings of impending doom for him.
Throughout the interview, Khalifa shared insights into his aspirations, including his desire to build wealth and own a house in Los Angeles. He also spoke fondly of his recent travels, mentioning a trip to Costa Rica. But it wasn't all about the future; Khalifa also reminisced about his past, revealing that his father used to grow weed illegally, with Khalifa and his sister lending a hand. However, Khalifa made it clear that neither he nor his father indulge in the illegal activity anymore.
As the interview progressed, it became evident that the dynamic between Khalifa and Althoff was more than just professional. Althoff actively participated in smoking weed with Khalifa and even received a range of gifts from the rapper, including weed-related paraphernalia and mints. However, the most unexpected moment came when Khalifa, perhaps caught up in the moment, asked Althoff to be his Valentine—a proposal that Althoff respectfully declined.
Despite the lighthearted moments, the conversation touched on deeper topics, with Khalifa reflecting on the impact of weed on his creativity and parenting. "It makes being a parent even better," Khalifa shared. "You're like way more focused and just not stressed out."
Ultimately, the interview provided a fascinating glimpse into the life and mind of Wiz Khalifa, showcasing his openness about weed, his ambitions, and his unique perspective on the world. As the conversation drew to a close, it was clear that Khalifa's journey is as multifaceted as his music, with weed playing a prominent but nuanced role in his life story.
