Wiz Khalifa has been on a promo run these days to support his new album Kush + Orange Juice 2, and that first ingredient is very important to him. He's been one of hip-hop's biggest marijuana advocates for over a decade now, which means his tolerance and inclusion in his lifestyle is at true veteran status at this point.
As caught by Billboard, Wiz recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday (June 13) to chop it up with the late night talk shot host. During their conversation, he revealed that he apparently smokes about 30 joints every day.
"I have things to do. I work out, I got kids. So I do a lot of different things," Wiz Khalifa remarked concerning his smoking habits. "Somebody put it a really good way the other day. You smoke and then you just challenge yourself to do normal things throughout the day… I enjoy it."
Elsewhere, he explained how this "mental exercise" even became a habit in the first place when he was younger. "It was just for music purposes," the Pittsburgh MC stated. "Like, being in the studio and hanging around other musicians, it was just the thing to do. It kind of became something that, you know, later on in life helped me to get through a lot of things."
Funnily enough, Jimmy Kimmel also asked about Wiz Khalifa's flat Earth beliefs, and we'll let you uncover that conversation for yourself as a treat. Wiz also performed the Kush + Orange Juice 2 cut "5 Star" on the late night show.
Also, what's funny about Wiz Khalifa's rap status as a cannabis connoisseur is that he can tussle with the best of the best. In fact, it turns out that he was the one to smoke with Snoop Dogg's sons first before Tha Doggfather even got the chance.
Nevertheless, the 37-year-old wears many hats and has a lot to keep up with in life. His career, his family, his business endeavors... It can definitely be a lot. So we don't think Wiz will diminish his joint intake anytime soon, and we just hope he continues to enjoy responsibly.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
