Wiz Khalifa laughed off the controversy over a clip of him pranking a sleeping friend by blowing smoke in his face.
Social media users roasted the cannabis connoisseur after the clip surfaced online on Thursday (January 18). The video shows Compton rapper AD soundly sleeping in a chair in the studio before Wiz blows an enormous cloud of smoke in his face.
“Oh my God,” someone remarks off camera, noting smoke was streaming out of AD’s eyes as Wiz Khalifa returned with another smoke blast.
A confused AD woke up a few seconds later as Wiz and his friends laughed.

Fans shared the clip online, with many clowning Wiz for getting so close to another man.
Wiz Khalifa caught wind of the comments but insisted, “I’m just being myself.”
In a video shared Thursday, the “Love to Smoke” hitmaker said the backlash is actually a confidence booster.
“Because I’m not doing anything on purpose but y’all keep talking about me,” he told fans. “Y’all s### don’t exist unless y’all talking about me.
“I don’t even got no shape up, I got a little thing on my head,” Wiz Khalifa said adding he still looks and feels great.
“I can still do whatever the hell I want, and I don’t need any of that extra stuff that everybody else needs to be themselves,” he explained. “I’m clearly just being myself. Clearly just enjoying myself and having a good time and y’all’s day revolves around that. Good look. Shout out to me.”
