Wiz Khalifa has responded to the chatter surrounding a viral video of him blowing marijuana smoke into anoter man’s face at close range.
The Taylor Gang honcho has been the talk of the internet for the last couple of days thanks to the clip, and Wiz addressed the critics in a video posted to social media on Thursday (January 18).

“I love how y’all keep posting shit about me,” he began. “That just boosts my confidence actually. I’m not doing nothing on purpose but y’all keep talking about me, y’all keep watching my page, y’all keep me on y’all’s sites to get clicks and get engagement.
“Shit don’t exist unless y’all talking about me. I don’t even got no shape-up, I got a little thing on my head and I still look better. I still feel better.”

Wiz continued to brush off the haters, saying: “I can still do whatever the hell I want and I don’t need any of that extra stuff everybody needs to be themselves. I’m clearly just being myself. Clearly just enjoying myself and having a good time and y’all’s day revolves around that.”
Watch the viral video and Wiz’s response below.
The clip in question was posted to Wiz Khalifa’s Instagram Stories earlier this week and showed him blowing smoke into a friend’s mouth and nose while he was slumped in a chair asleep during a studio session.
After being ambushed by the cloud of smoke, the man woke up in a third dimension and required a few moments to seemingly figure out where he was as onlookers laughed hysterically in the background.

People online had plenty to say, with some calling Wiz “zesty” and others hurling homophobic remarks in his direction.
“Nah this gay idc lmao,” another X user wrote, while someone else said: “So…. Are we going to ignore the fact that …… That was a ‘Pause’ moment…?”
The “Roll Up” rapper stays high wherever he seemingly goes and recently admitted on the Call Her Daddy podcast that he even pulls up to his kid’s parent-teacher conferences stoned.

“Hell yeah, I’m pulling up stoned,” the 36-year-old said. “They expect it. They know what’s up. It’s not like back in the day where you’re considered a bad parent if you smell like weed. I’m pretty sure my son smells like weed. Like I don’t know because I can’t smell it, but I’m pretty sure he smells like pot.”
He added: “I want them to connect with the real me. They’re not going to get a fake version of me or this made-up parent that society makes you think that you’re supposed to be. I am who I am.”
