Mother’s day has been and gone. Not for Wiz Khalifa. Every day is like mother’s day for the hip-hop artist, who accompanies his mom literally everywhere. Including strip joints.
When he taped an interview for The Jennifer Hudson Show, Khalifa gave the studio audience more than they bargained for when he discussed his friendship with mom, Peachie.
“Me and my mom do everything together. We go to strip clubs together. We went to Mexico. We went to Coachella together,” he tells the show’s host, Jennifer Hudson. “We do everything.“
With that cat out the bag, the “See You Again” rapper shared more Khalifa family matters, from snaps of his son’s “west coast gangsta” themed birthday party, tales of his early days making music with his dad and uncle, and his formative years spent abroad, including Germany and the U.K., thanks to his folks serving in the military.
On the music front, Khalifa is preparing the release of Kush & Orange Juice 2, a sequel to his “cult classic” mixtape from 2010. “I wanted to revisit that, just put some new flavor on it and get the fans something to have fun to,” he explains. “That’s what I’m known for, having a great time. So that same vibe I have in the studio I like to bring that outside.”
That studio vibe, he notes is created by lighting up candles, incense and other items he chose not to go into.
Khalifa has landed 35 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including six top 10s and a pair of leaders, 2010’s “Black And Yellow,” and the Furious 7 soundtrack from 2015 “See You Again,” featuring Charlie Puth, which led the chart for a whopping 12 weeks. The 36-year-old dad also boasts five appearances on the Billboard 200, including a No. 1 with 2014’s Blacc Hollywood. A release date for Kush & Orange Juice 2 has yet to be announced.
The Grammy Award-winning artist’s full interview airs Friday, May 17 on The Jennifer Hudson Show, produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television and Telepictures. Watch snippets below.
