And he eventually did after releasing a string of Platinum and Gold-certified albums and chart-topping singles in the aughts.

Yet, Khalifa would have to endure various hurdles to fulfill his potential. Having just secured a record deal with a major label through Rostrum Records at the time, the Pittsburgh native appeared primed to an instant leap to mainstream success. Instead he ended up feeling disrespected as an artist on what should’ve been one of the greatest nights in his rap career, also telling the crowd, “I’m not gonna sit here and let the hoe-ass n*ggas act like this sh*t is acceptable.Fifteen years ago, rapper Wiz Khalifa was touted as a star-in-waiting, with many industry insiders and tastemakers predicting his promise of eventually becoming a household name. His rant continued as he repeatedly called them “horrible DJs” and suggested he was solely in the building to have a good time and help promote the club. In the clip seen above that’s been circulating on social media, Khalifa can be heard saying to the DJs, “B*tch-ass n*gga! If you want to fight, we can do it.” When the target of his attack tried to embrace him with a smile and hug, Wiz quickly snapped back, “Y’all n*ggas suck! Don’t hug me, b*tch,” going on to later say in a demanding tone, “Play my new sh*t, b*tch!” However, things soon got verbal and almost physical when Khalifa approached them to let his frustrations be known for everyone at Poppy that night to hear as well.

Wiz reportedly grew agitated when he noticed that Mike Danger and Tron weren’t playing any of the music from the LP, which is understandable given the occasion at hand. The mild altercation occurred at Poppy Nightclub in Los Angeles last Friday (July 28), where many were in attendance to celebrate alongside the Pittsburgh-bred rapper for the release of his new album, Multiverse. The disc jockeys at the center of Wiz’s tirade were DJ Mike Danger and MC Tron.
