In a delightful surprise, Wiz Khalifa treated fans to the release of the music video for his track “Looking for Nipsey.” Directed by Wiz himself, the video accompanies the song featured on his recent mixtape, Decisions, unveiled earlier this month. This caps off a dynamic year for Wiz, marked by a constant flow of new music, including Decisions and two other mixtapes. Earlier in December, the rapper also shared the official music video for “Heavy Hitters,” another standout track from the Decisions mixtape. The unexpected video drop adds another exciting layer to Wiz Khalifa’s prolific and ever-evolving musical journey.
It’s been nine years since Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa split up. The whirlwind romance between the model and the chart-topping rapper intrigued audiences worldwide. For this reason, the former couple has stayed in fans’ minds ever since. After all, many relationships have remained popular in the entertainment industry despite their end. In a similar fashion, Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa started a romance that burned brightly in the beginning but eventually fizzled out in 2014.
Amber shared additional information about their relationship on the No Jumper podcast on November 16, 2023. She revealed that for a while after her split from Khalifa, she was devastated about their separation. On the podcast, she said that she “cried for three years straight” after their breakup. Thankfully, she seems to have recovered from the heartbreak, and the two are on good terms as co-parents. Here’s a timeline of the relationship between Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa.
2011: Wiz Khalifa Makes His Interests Known
In an exclusive interview with Vlad TV in 2014, Amber Rose detailed how she first met Wiz. Rose revealed that before their first meeting, she heard Wiz indicate interest in her in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid. According to the model, when DJ Whoo Kid asked the rapper who he would like to date, Wiz’s sole answer was “Amber Rose.” Subsequently, feeling flattered, she reached out to him on Twitter (now X), offering to send him a pair of her custom sunglasses. Contrarily, he suggested that they meet up in Los Angeles instead, since he would be in the city soon. After Wiz eventually arrived in L.A., they met up, and the rest is history.

According to Rose, she and Wiz instantly fell in love with each other. Despite initially making up her mind not to get into a relationship with a rapper, Rose’s barriers were instantly shattered after Wiz showed up in L.A. In the clip shared by Vlad TV, she shared, “I told my mom, I was like ‘Mom, I’m gonna marry him. I’m gonna have all his babies, and I just wanna be with him forever.’ We both knew it instantly. We did.”
One of their earliest and most memorable appearances as a couple was at 2011’s MTV VMAs. They sported complementary white outfits for the award ceremony. While walking the pre-show red carpet, the pair spoke about the possibility of marriage and building a family together. “We discuss it all the time; like he said, we’re very much in love,” Rose told MTV News.

Since the start of their relationship, the couple had expressed their interest in tying the knot. Following multiple confirmations of their intent to marry, on March 1, 2012, they took the first step towards it. Wiz Khalifa proposed to Amber Rose, and she said yes. Subsequently, the pair took to social media to announce and celebrate their engagement. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she flaunted her humongous diamond ring.
September 2012 – February 2013: Welcoming Sebastian!

The couple announced that they were expecting their first child in September 2012. Five months later, Sebastian “Bash” Taylor was welcomed into the world. In the aforementioned Vlad TV interview, Rose was asked if she planned on having kids or if Sebastian just happened. Surprisingly, she revealed that she had a miscarriage one month before becoming pregnant with Sebastian. “Right after the miscarriage, I was kind of like, depressed, but I was like, ‘You know, God does everything for a reason, it’s just not the right time,’” she said. A month later, she got pregnant again, and in February 2012, Sebastian was born.

I knew as soon as I met u, u were the one for me sweetheart. Happy 1 year anniversary and many more to come.”
Shockingly, on September 22, 2014, Amber Rose filed for divorce from the “Black & Yellow” rapper. In a pair of now-deleted tweets shared on September 25, 2014, she alluded to Wiz Khalifa cheating. “Please stop with the fake stories. I would never ever ever cheat on my husband in a million years I think u guys know this,” she wrote. “Unfortunately my now ex husband can’t say the same….”

Although both parties initially sought sole custody of their son, they eventually settled on sharing joint custody. Now ten years old, Sebastian has been co-parented by Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa since 2015. Rose and Wiz came together to celebrate their son’s tenth birthday in February this year. So, while the two are no longer romantically involved, it seems their co-parenting relationship is going well.
Wiz Khalifa’s work ethic is nearly unmatched in the hip-hop industry. The North Dakota-born rapper and singer has built out one of the most expansive discographies of anyone, let alone of the 2010s decade. All we have to do is take a look at this year to see what the hitmaker has been cooking up over the past 11 months. February 24 was the first release date for Wiz.
He came out with the 23-track album Star Power. Following that, we would only have to wait until June 14 for another minimally feature-packed LP in the form of See Ya. Then, up until today, Wiz’s latest release was the much more concise, Khali Sober. That was a fully solo effort, with it being written by only him as well.
Before this new mixtape, Decisions, Khalifa also had a song that landed on the Good Burger 2 movie soundtrack. Leading up to the drop of this second full solo tape of the year, there was not much rollout for it. We got the lead single, which also happens to be the closer, in “Up the Ladder.” Then, out of nowhere practically, we now have Decisions. You get what you come to expect of Wiz at this point. However, it is a solid release. There’s a mixture of trap but also some more boom-bap-inspired beats as well.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new mixtape by Wiz Khalifa, Decisions? Where does this rank amongst the rest of his projects labeled as mixtapes? Is this the best tape he has put out in 2023? Which tracks are you gravitating toward right now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Wiz Khalifa. Furthermore, stay with us for all of the best project releases throughout the week.
Wiz Khalifa is one of the more prolific rappers from the 2010s decade. 2023 has been another busy year for the North Dakota-born MC. It all began in late February with a massive 23-song album, Star Power. He collaborated with a lot of his most frequent collaborators like Chevy Woods on that tape. Sliding into the middle of June, he would bring an even longer LP with See Ya. Wiz’s third and maybe final album of the year was Khali Sober. That one was a full-on solo effort with not a feature in sight. In addition to his own material, the smoked-out rapper was also making contributions to the movie world.
A cult classic finally made its return not too long ago to Paramount+. The Nickelodeon original from the 90s, Good Burger, came out with a sequel. In fact, it was a 26-year wait before we got to see Kel Mitchell and Keenan Thompson return to their roles as Ed and Dexter Reed, respectively. They decided to bring a unique soundtrack to the mix and a lot of bigger names contributed.
Wiz landed on the lead single for it, which was “No Fair.” His longtime producing connection, Lex Luger, helped out. Also in the mix was The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo. That track obviously had to be groomed for the kids so no swearing and a happy-go-lucky beat accompanied it. This time is different, as Khalifa is back at work with a typical trap-like production and lyrics to match. “Up The Ladder” sees him feeling like he has always been the man and acting extremely braggadocious.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single by Wiz Khalifa, “Up The Ladder?” Is this one of his best singles in the past year or so? Where does Wiz rank for you amongst rappers from the 2010s? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Multi-platinum-selling artist Wiz Khalifa has unveiled his latest single, “Up The Ladder,” produced by Big Jerm and LNK. The track serves as the lead release from Wiz’s forthcoming mixtape titled Decisions, set to drop on Dec. 1st.
With a GRAMMY® and Golden Globe nomination under his belt, Wiz Khalifa continues to assert his musical prowess, and “Up The Ladder” is a testament to his ongoing innovation in the hip-hop scene. The artist, known for his chart-topping hits, brings a fresh sound to the mix, building anticipation for what’s to come with the full Decisions mixtape.
Wiz Khalifa has done a lot of work for soundtracks throughout his long career. Of course, who can forget his contributions to the Fast & Furious franchise? He has plenty of ties to that storied series of films with tracks like the viral “See You Again.” It is one of the most viewed music videos on YouTube of all time.
While it is rare that rappers do clean songs they work out well, especially for movie soundtracks. However, this song with Charlie Puth just had something about it. The emotionally charged chorus and the relatability factor in the lyrics made it stand out. For this latest effort from Wiz, it is not really hitting the same buttons.
While the message of the track is relatable the vocals are a bit all over the place. The beat, provided by Lex Luger and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, does make sense for the type of movie soundtrack it is on. There is just something about it that does not sit right. The song is a part of the Good Burger 2 movie that is finally getting a sequel after 26 years. According to HipHopNMore, it is out now on Paramount+.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from Wiz Khalifa, Lex Luger, and Chad Hugo, “No Fair?” Do you like when rappers have to be clean for a soundtrack? Are you going to watch the long-awaited sequel to the first Good Burger? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Quotable Lyrics:
Step out the house, say I look like a freak show Oh, man, I was startin’ to look just like them Down on my luck, but then I had to let it go Hard times, they come and go, then they come again To say the least, made it through the impossible Slow down, see, you got everything right here
When it comes to previous couples turned friendly duos, Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa are a prime example to admire within the realm of hip-hop. Sure, things aren’t squeaky-clean perfect, but their coparenting bond, love for each other, and admission of their wrongs is a wholesome contrast to their split. During a recent interview with Adam22 and Lena The Plug on No Jumper, the model explained how their breakup was very hard for her. Not only was it a long process, but you can tell that it was also born out of mutual love and an acknowledgement that things just weren’t going to work.
“With Wiz, I cried for, like, three years straight [following the split],” Amber Rose recalled. The three were discussing how letting go of relationships is sometimes easy, something that people look forward to, or something that folks relish in the moment. But she explained that things weren’t that simple for them, especially since they had a child to take care of that elongated the leftover feelings and healing process. “No, for Wiz, for sure. That was the love of my life. That’s why I said I can’t apply that to Wiz. But yeah, I cried for, I used to just sit in the shower and be like, f**k.”
Meanwhile, this is part of what Wiz Khalifa said of his relationship with Amber Rose during a recent Drink Champs appearance. “We’re like the ideal couple, even though we’re not together,” he explained. “We share the most beautiful thing in life, we have a kid. We got great memories, we were married. So everything we did was out of pure love, you know what I’m saying? We planned on being with each other forever. But, you know, that s**t gets difficult. And I think with marriage, with legal marriage, it kind of sucks because that has to be the end of something when that’s over. But I think we’re proving that it’s not the end of everything, even when that legal s**t is over.
“He gets to enjoy both of us together,” the Taylor Gang boss remarked. “He doesn’t see us separately. That’s really important. My parents were divorced since I was 2, and I had both of them in my life. Love my mother, love my dad, but they can’t be in the same room together, and that’s not good for a kid. And it’s not their fault because they probably didn’t grow up seeing the best functioning anything. But we gotta break that and we gotta be better for our f***ing kids.” For more news and the latest updates on Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, come back to HNHH.
Wiz Khalifa wants you to know that he has not fallen off. Speaking with T-Rell on the Back On Figg podcast, Wiz responded to the notion that he is not hot and his best days are behind him.
“I think people are always gonna say that if you’re not right in their face, but if you look at what I do or the amount of shit that I put out or how constantly I’m working, you can’t say that,” Wiz replied. “Even the old songs that I have, they’re still streaming, they’re still popular. The niggas who might have old songs, they can’t do those old songs right now.”
Wiz also pointed out that a lot of rappers can’t sell out shows, and he can still make moves around the world.
The music world is excited as Wiz Khalifa, the renowned rapper, delivers his latest creation, the new mixtape Khali Sober. This project is a collaborative effort between Wiz Khalifa and his talented hometown producer, Big Jerm, who worked together to craft this musical masterpiece.
Khali Sober marks a significant moment for both Wiz Khalifa and his dedicated fan base, representing the initiation of a new chapter in his musical journey. In a landscape where mixtapes have taken a back seat, Wiz Khalifa boldly brings them to the forefront. With this release, he aims to revive the golden era of mixtapes, presenting an instant stoner classic and promising many more to come.
Following the recent release of his “See Ya” mixtape earlier this year, Khali Sober showcases Wiz’s unwavering commitment to delivering fresh, engaging music to his fans. The mixtape features contributions from notable producers, including Quadwoofer Bangz, ID Labs, Lex Luger, and Iamsu. It serves as a gift to celebrate the start of summer, setting the stage for an exciting musical journey that fans won’t want to miss.
