Wiz Khalifa

Ever since his childhood days, Cameron Jibril Thomaz already had a knack for artsy things, especially music. With his stage name originating from “young Wiz,” the nickname his grandfather gave him, and “Khalifa,” the Arabic word for successor, Wiz Khalifa began recording his songs when he was just 15. It’s safe to say the rapper undoubtedly deserves all the credit for committing to his craft through and through.

Besides taking part in songs like Furious 7’s See You Again, Wiz Khalifa is also known for sporting an impressive tattoo gallery. Among the many eye-catching designs he wears, one can’t deny the significance of the “Whiz Khalifa” tattoo he got for his 17th birthday. Although it’s now mixed with newer ones, it’s nice to know his first choice involves something his grandpa gave him.
