Wiz Khalifa apologizes to the entire DJ community for the recent rant.
Over the weekend last week, Wiz Khalifa was performing at a show in Los Angeles, where the rapper took shots at DJ Mike Danger and MC Tron for being “terrible” at their jobs. “Bi**h a*s ni**s, if you wanna fight, ni**s we can do it,” he says in the clip. “Y’all ni***s suck, don’t hug me bi**h. Y’all ni***s suck, play my new sh*t ni**a, play it ni**a, play ‘Bad A*s B***hes.’ Y’all are horrible DJs.”

Following the rant, the rapper received criticism from fans and some of the top names in the industry, including Kid Capri. The Taylor Gang boss now decided to apologise to the entire DJ Community for his actions.
“First of all, I want to apologize to all the DJs in the entire DJ community for my behavior,” he said in a sit down with DJ Drama and DJ Envy on The Breakfast Club. “I do realize that it was a bit much and I’m big enough man to be like, ‘Yo, that shouldn’t have happened, that shouldn’t go down.’ That’s not how business gets handled and that’s not how you get your point across. I apologize sincerely. I didn’t want to piss anybody off.”
He continued, “I was booked to be at Poppy for my album release that night. It was officially my night. My set was to be five songs. We prepared the set and we put it on the flash drive… When it came time to be my set, the songs that was gave to him on the flash drive, it was just a real issue with the timing.”
“Songs were playing in the middle of my songs. It was really frustrating,” he added. “I got emotional. I showed my emotions. That’s mainly what you see in the video. I was definitely out of line and touching the young man’s hat and doing what some people would consider assaulting a DJ. That’s not in my character and that’s not how I handle things. That’s not excusable. It’s not defendable in any way, shape or form.”
Wiz stated that he intends to officially apologize to DJ Mikey Danger. Again for the fact, DJ Mikey Danger made a statement about the issue and posted it to his Instagram page. “What happened at Poppy last Friday was very unfortunate and I’m still internally processing everything that was said and done to myself and my team,” he wrote in a statement. “We love what we do and will always work to create a great experience at these parties for everyone in attendance. As someone who was raised in Los Angeles, who built a career to entertain the people of my city, I’ll continue to work with my team and promoters so that the city continues to have a safe outlet to unwind and vibe to dope music.”
He continued: “At the end of the day, we’re all artists and we can find ways to work together respectfully to curate these moments for our fans and community. So, as much as what happened was not okay, I’m going to keep it moving with the hopes that we can eventually move forward from this experience with civility and love.”
