Wiz Khalifa Wants To Move Beyond Stoner Stigma

(Radio.com) Wiz Khalifa has made a career out of his 4/20 friendly policy - he's released more radio-bound stoner anthems than almost any other rapper, his breakthrough mixtape was called Kush & Orange Juice, and he's been arrested for possession of marijuana - but he's ready to move on from all of that now.

In a new interview with Hard Knock TV, Khalifa said that he would like to shake that title of stoner, perhaps shying away from being at the forefront of stoner rap.

"I was just talking with one of my homies yesterday, I kind of want to break the stigma of everything I do is like a 'stoner this' or a 'weed head' that, which is cool, that's what I built my marketing and my brand, but at the end of the day, everyone who is successful in film or in music gets high and they don't look at them as the stoner," Khalifa said.

What will he do after losing his stoner title? Wiz wants to transition into film. Read about that here.
