Amber & Wiz on the Cover of XXL

by in hip hop and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , | Permalink

Look at this here!!! Amber better be Mama Rosebud!!

Amber On Giving Birth:
I’m so ready. I’m going all-natural. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights! The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’

Amber On Wiz:
[H]e’s just a genuine sweet guy. And that’s what made me fall in love with him. And I just said, “You know what, I don’t care if he’s a rapper.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you’re a gold-digger.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you went from one rapper to another,” or whatever. I love him. I don’t look at him as a rapper. I look at him as Cameron Thomaz, not even Wiz Khalifa. I just fell so deeply in love with him, I didn’t care what anyone says.”

Wiz On Getting Together With Amber:
I love my baby. She’s gorgeous and it makes me look even cooler when I show how much I love her to other people… When I met Amber, she loved me for who I was. I had some money, but it was like to pay my bills and literally set myself up for a future. But I was wearing the same camo shorts and high-tops and Chucks. But she liked my swag and she liked me for who I was and I wasn’t afraid of that… She didn’t wanna date any entertainers or anybody in the business. She didn’t know who she wanted to be with, but she knew who she didn’t wanna be with.

Wiz On Recording His New Album With Amber At Home:
I just gotta do it. The most important thing is knowing that she is there and I have to tend to my babies. This is my first child ever in life. I gotta go hard at everything. As hard as I go in the studio, I gotta go just as hard taking care of my baby and making sure she’s alright, and I’m spending time with her and she doesn’t feel neglected.

Wiz Khalifa Responds To Criticism Of His ‘O.N.I.F.C’ Album Cover “Im Helpin Everyone Get In Touch With Their Inner Sleaze”

by in hip hop and tagged , , , , , , , | Permalink

 

When Wiz Khalifa unveiled the official cover for his O.N.I.F.C album on Wednesday, some people weren’t digging it.

 

In the picture the Pittsburgh rapper is decked out in a snow leopard fur coat and tight red and white pants.

 

Wiz got wind of the criticism and took to Twitter to repond.

 

“To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected #BossUp,” he wrote to his 7.4 million followers on the social networking site. “Im Helpin Everyone Get In Touch With Their Inner Sleaze. If U Dnt Wanna Let It Out, Ill Express It For You. I’ll Be Brave Enough. Onifc Is Not For The Scary. Iss About Taking Risks So The People Who Believe What We Believe In Can Feel Free. The Cover Art Should Give You Confidence And Let You Know You Can Fully Be Yourself In Front Of People No Matter What They Say Or Think. You Dont Have To Hide That S***. Let It Out!!! Thass What The Artwork Really Represents. And If Your Still Scared, I’ll Do It For You.”
