Wiz Khalifa goes viral after calmly advising his son Bash to avoid a mall fight, pushing de-escalation.

“Nah, don’t do that, bro. Don’t get into no fight… De-escalate the situation, and if you have to, then protect yourself, but don’t put yourself in no situation where you know some sh*t like that is going to go down.”

Damn.

Wiz Khalifa just gave the internet an unexpected glimpse into fatherhood, and people are eating it up.

By the way, I was all set to be critical of Wiz. The other day he said his son goes to school smelling like weed cologne. Suddenly, he does this and becomes the model parent.

While streaming, Wiz found himself in the middle of a real life moment when his 13-year-old son Bash, called him during a livestream with a problem that every parent dreads. The cameras kept rolling. Bash was at the mall when another kid was apparently looking for trouble and wanted to fight.

Instead of hyping his son up or turning the situation into a tough guy lesson, Wiz Khalifa took control. He immediately urged Bash to avoid the confrontation. Yes, this is the dad that is pushing MMA and boxing.

“Nah, don’t do that, bro. Don’t get into no fight… De-escalate the situation, and if you have to, then protect yourself, but don’t put yourself in no situation where you know some sh*t like that is going to go down,” Wiz said.

That video quickly spread across social media, with people praising the rapper for stressing conflict resolution before violence. Wiz seemed focused on teaching his son how to avoid unnecessary drama while still standing up for himself if there was no other choice. Now, that is a real dad move. Also, I am shocked dude is still letting his son be normal like that. I am glad he allows it…with no security.

Of course, this is the internet. Everything is a debate and also a form of scripted reality. I think Wiz anticipated. He immediately addressed viewers directly. He did not care how people took the exchange. For him, Bash is his son, and he’s going to parent him the way he sees fit.

I think it was cool. And, even if it has a bit of Truman Show about it, I am ok with it. It gives sage wisdom for kids and adults alike. The other day, a dad pulled up on a grown man bullying his kids and wrecked shop. People loved it. This is the opposite. People loved it too.

Good job Wiz.
