Wiz Khalifa Controversy In Colombia

Owen Sweeney –
Wiz Khalifa does his thing at Power 99 FM Powerhouse at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia Oct. 28.
The rapper is an avid marijuana smoker and used his Instagram account to post several photos of him smoking at Escobar’s tomb in Medellin. He was on a tour stop in the country.
Medellin’s Mayor Federico Gutierrez is said to have called the performer a “scoundrel.” He suggested that instead of paying homage to Escobar, Wiz Khalifa should’ve brought flowers to Escobar’s thousands of victims killed during the height of Colombia’s drug violence in the late 1980s.
“Didn’t mean to offend anyone with my personal activities in Colombia but I’m glad we came and got work done and everyone was safe. Peace and love,” the rapper said on Instagram March 28.
