Wiz Khalifa swiftly took his son out of a smoke-filled room during a recent concert, showcasing his protective side as a father. The incident happened at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, during his Good Vibes Only Tour: Smoker’s Edition, the latest in a series of lucrative performances for the artist, as previously covered in our report on his recent $3M payday. The event, known for its hazy atmosphere due to fans lighting up, created an environment Wiz deemed unsafe for his son, Sebastian Taylor Thomaz.
Despite initial reports to the contrary, there is no evidence that Amber Rose, his ex-wife and Sebastian’s mother, was present or that she encouraged their son to stay. Wiz’s decision to remove his son was based solely on his own parental judgment. The moment unfolded during a lively interaction with the crowd, where Wiz acknowledged the thick smoke, saying,
“It’s too smoky up here.”
His decision drew praise from fans, with one attendee noting,
“He’s such a good dad, I always see like this.”
This act aligns with Wiz’s public image as a devoted father who co-parents cordially with Amber Rose.
The former couple, married from 2013 to 2014, has maintained a strong co-parenting relationship, often supporting each other at public events for their son’s sake. Wiz Khalifa’s connection to marijuana is no secret. His music, including hits from his 2010 mixtape, Kush & Orange Juice, celebrates weed culture.
He’s also built a brand around it with Khalifa Kush, his own cannabis line. Concerts like the one in Inglewood are often filled with smoke, as fans embrace the stoner vibe Wiz has cultivated over the years. Yet, this incident highlights his ability to balance his public persona with his responsibilities as a parent.
His long-standing friendship with Snoop Dogg, another icon of stoner rap, further ties him to this culture. The two have collaborated on tracks like “Young, Wild & Free,” a 2011 hit that captures their shared love for a carefree, weed-friendly lifestyle. Their bond, rooted in mutual respect, has made them influential figures in hip-hop and cannabis culture.
