It’s been recently reported that Wiz Khalifa has sold a portion of his music and publishing catalog. He closed the deal with HarbourView Equity Partners today. The sale includes some of his biggest hits like “Black & Yellow” and “See You Again.” His earnings from the sale have not yet been confirmed.
Wiz Khalifa spoke on the sale in a press release, saying “Sherrese [Clarke Soares] and HarbourView truly understand the value of music and artistry. We are excited to partner with them as they continue to build a dynamic media company that is in line with the values and goals we all have here at Taylor Gang.”
