Wiz Khalifa Speaks On Criticism Of “O.N.I.F.C.” Cover Art; Delays “Live In Concert” With Curren$y

Wiz Khalifa - Jones Beach Concert
The official release of the cover art for Wiz Khalifa’s O.N.I.F.C. yesterday (August 8) cause quite a stir among some onlookers, and Wiz took to Twitter last night to respond to some of the naysayers.
“To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected #BossUp Im Helpin Everyone Get In Touch With Their Inner Sleaze,” he tweeted. ”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 Shit. Let It Out!!!”
He continued,”Thass What The Artwork Really Represents And If Your Still Scared, I’ll Do It For You Lets All Grow Together!!!”
Additionally, today (August 9) was supposed to be the day that Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y released their highly-aniticpated new collaborative mixtape, Live In Concert; however, due to issues with clearing samples, both Wiz and Spitta have decided to hold off until all legal matters are resolved.
Curren$y tweeted, ”We wldnt feel comfortable droppin #LiveInConcert until we get the samples cleared.with how these suits keep poppin up.. Mixtapes ain’t safe. Lots of law suits being handed out to folks for makin free mixtape jams..Wiz,Mac,myself even..We gotta play this one smart.
“Just As Spitta Said We Gotta Make Surr All The Samples Are Cleared Before We Drop The Tape To Respect The Artists And Publishers We Sampled,” Wiz confirmed. “Kush Castles Will Still Be Appearing From The Sky. Just Not Today :-(“
There is currently no new release date for Live In Concert.
