Wiz Khalifa

Rapper Wiz Khalifa revealed he’s usually high when he goes to his 10-year-old son Sebastian’s parent-teacher conferences.The father of one share he’d rather his son’s teachers connect with the real him. Wiz, 36, shares Sebastian with Hollywood influencer Amber Rose, 40.

“Hell yeah. I’m pulling up stoned. They expect it,” Khalifa said on a recent episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.

“They know what’s up. It’s not like back in the day [where] you’re considered a bad parent if you smoke weed. I’m pretty sure my son smells like weed. I don’t know because I can’t smell it but I’m pretty sure he smells like pot.”

Wiz continued: “I’m pulling up high because 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, and it’s not because I’m a celebrity or anything.”

Wiz shares that he spends $10,000 on good quality weed that he lights up daily.

He said pot motivates him to work out in the gym every day.

“It’s because it’s really what I believe in and why not get the real me?” he says. “Why would I have to change who I am or act like I’m not that just for these places that I’m going to go? That’s not how I’m going to be living my life ever. Hell no.”

Wiz shared his experiences as a single dad in his 2019 docu-series, Wiz Khalifa: Behind the Cam.

He admitted “Bash” helped him to mature into a man.

“Bash is a huge part of that transition — and not being with his mother, too, because it forced me to be more responsible and do the things I wouldn’t normally do,” he said. “The older that he gets, the more influence I have on him. So it’s not as much as just makin’ sure he’s good; it’s actually being there.”

Award-winning actress Sanaa Lathan is set to take on the role of the iconic 90s TV psychic Miss Cleo in a new darkly comedic drama series. The project, titled “Miss Cleo,” is currently in development at Legendary Entertainment, with Lathan serving as both the lead actress and executive producer.

Best known for her recent Emmy-nominated performance on “Succession,” Lathan will delve into the intriguing life of Miss Cleo, originally Youree Dell Harris, who gained fame as the spokesperson for a psychic pay-per-call-minute service called Psychic Readers Networks in a series of commercials from 1997 to 2003. The catchphrase “Call me now!” became synonymous with Miss Cleo’s persona during this time.

The drama series, inspired by the true story of Miss Cleo, will explore the rise of the psychic icon and the subsequent legal battles involving the government and a staggering sum of $500 million. Miss Cleo’s journey will be presented in a darkly comedic manner, providing insight into the contentious court case triggered by her fame.

Sharon Hall, former Sony Pictures Television head of drama and executive producer of “The Expanse,” will join Sanaa Lathan in the executive production role through her company Mom de Guerre Productions.

Miss Cleo faced legal challenges in 2002 when the Federal Trade Commission charged the owners of Psychic Readers Networks with deceptive advertising, billing, and collection practices. Though Harris was not indicted, the company settled by erasing $500 million in debt from victims and paying a $5 million fine.

The upcoming series aims to capture the complexity of Miss Cleo’s life, shedding light on her rise to fame, legal battles, and lasting impact on popular culture. With Lathan at the helm, “Miss Cleo” is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the intriguing story of the 90s psychic sensation. The series is currently in development and being pitched to various streaming platforms and broadcasters.

We are just weeks away from Cole Bennett’s much-anticipated debut compilation album All Is Yellow, which is set to drop this month under DefJam, as well as Bennett’s iconic Lyrical Lemonade brand. Ahead of the new album, Lil Yachty, Gus Dapperton, and Joey Badass have shared “Fallout,” a heartbreaking new collab.

On “Fallout,” the three artists grapple with the mixed emotions that come with the end of a once-passionate love. Dapperton opens the song with forlorn vocals, singing on the chorus, “Go ahead and play with my money, my money / Baby, it’s so f*ckin’ funny to me, I get up / Kinda thought of you and me in the end / I’d do it over, and over, and over, and over again.”

Yachty pops in, appearing to try to win his former lover back.

“We came too far to still be feeling empty / Nothing I won’t do for you, don’t tempt me / I’d put it all on the line just to show you / Money I blow through, placеs I go to / Just to get back to me and the old you,” he rap-sings, bargaining for a return to who he and his ex once were.

Badass provides a conclusion to the story, noting that he will reunite with his former flame in another universe.

“My love is defo, so we in this sh*t forever / And again in the next life, bounded by blood,” he raps

You can listen to “Fallout” above.

At long last, Lil Nas X is back. With his first new solo single in two years, the rapper, pop star, and provocateur is entering his “Christian era” with his new single, “J Christ.”

On his new single, Lil Nas X declares that while he’s been away for a minute, he’s loud and proud this era, not minimizing himself for anybody.

B*tch, I’m back like J Christ / I’m finna get the gays hyped / I’m finna take it yea high / Back up out the gravesite / B*tch, I’m back like J Christ,” he raps on one of the song’s verses.

In the song’s accompanying video, Lil Nas X is joined by several A-list lookalikes, including counterparts of Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and more. He delivers a killer dance routine choreographed by Sean Bankhead as he makes an exit from hell, plays a heavenly basketball game, slays on the Met Gala carpet, and makes an epic resurgence.

Toward the end of the video, a screen reads “Day Zero: A New Beginning,” which looks like it may be the name of the upcoming album.

We’ll probably have to wait a bit for more album details, but in the meantime, the video makes for an epic reintroduction to our favorite troll.
