Wiz Khalifa recently made headlines with a startling admission during an interview promoting his latest musical project. While discussing his previous collaborative work with fellow rap icon Snoop Dogg, Khalifa casually mentioned an incident that occurred during the filming of their 2012 comedy Mac & Devin Go to High School, where he claims to have been the first person to introduce Snoop Dogg’s children to cannabis.
The revelation came during a conversation with DJ Whoo Kid, where Khalifa nonchalantly admitted to getting Snoop’s children high. When met with an incredulous response from the interviewer, Khalifa elaborated on the situation, explaining that it took place while filming their cannabis-themed comedy. During the incident, Snoop had been away from his trailer performing his scenes when he returned to discover his children under the influence and expressed surprise at the situation.
This unexpected disclosure has ignited discussions surrounding celebrity parenting choices, particularly within entertainment circles where cannabis use has become increasingly normalized. The incident highlights the unique dynamics of parenting within celebrity culture and raises questions about appropriate boundaries between adult entertainers and their children.
The children involved
While Khalifa did not specifically identify which of Snoop’s four children were present during the incident, the timing provides important context. When Mac & Devin Go to High School was released in 2012, Snoop’s children ranged in age from early adolescence to late teens:
Cordé Broadus was approximately 17 years old Cordell Broadus would have been around 15 Julian Broadus was roughly 13 Cori Broadus was only about 12 years old
Considering production timelines, the children would have been even younger during the actual filming, which amplifies concerns regarding the appropriateness of exposing minors to cannabis regardless of their familial connection to cannabis culture.
Khalifa appeared somewhat surprised by the situation himself, as he had assumed the children already had experience with cannabis simply by virtue of being Snoop’s offspring. This assumption reveals prevalent stereotypes and expectations surrounding children of celebrities, particularly those whose public personas are closely tied to specific lifestyles or substances.
Cultural impact of the film
Mac & Devin Go to High School has established itself as something of a cultural touchstone within cannabis communities since its release. The comedy deliberately embraces stoner humor and tropes, following the misadventures of a valedictorian student and a fifteen-year senior as they navigate high school while exploring cannabis use.
The film represents a specific moment in American cannabis culture, arriving at a time when attitudes toward marijuana were beginning to shift dramatically across the country. This timing helped establish the movie as a cult favorite among certain audiences despite receiving predominantly negative critical reception upon release.
Both Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa have built significant portions of their personal brands around cannabis culture, making their collaboration on this project a natural extension of their public personas. The soundtrack accompanying the film further cemented this connection, featuring tracks that continue to resonate with fans of both artists.
Snoop Dogg’s family life
Calvin Broadus Jr., professionally known as Snoop Dogg, has maintained a relatively stable family structure throughout his decades in the entertainment industry. His marriage to Shante Broadus has endured despite public challenges, and together they have three children: Cordé, Cordell, and Cori. His fourth child, Julian, was born from a previous relationship.
Throughout his career, Snoop has frequently emphasized the importance of family in his personal life while simultaneously maintaining his public image as a cannabis enthusiast. This duality creates an interesting dichotomy that many celebrity parents must navigate—balancing authentic public personas with parental responsibilities and boundaries.
Snoop has been remarkably open about incorporating discussions of cannabis into his parenting approach as his children have matured. However, this incident as described by Khalifa suggests that the boundaries between Snoop’s professional life and his children’s experiences may have been more permeable than previously understood by the public.
Wiz Khalifa’s current projects
The context for this revelation is Khalifa’s promotion of Kush + Orange Juice 2, a highly anticipated follow-up to his breakthrough 2010 mixtape. This new release celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of the original project that helped establish Khalifa as a significant voice in hip-hop.
The sequel features production contributions from industry veterans including DJ Quik, Cardo, and Juicy J, while incorporating guest appearances from contemporary artists such as Ty Dolla $ign and Problem. The project continues Khalifa’s tradition of blending cannabis themes with his musical expression, maintaining the consistent brand identity he has cultivated throughout his career.
This new album represents Khalifa’s continued evolution as an artist while remaining connected to the themes and aesthetic choices that initially attracted his audience. The promotional interviews surrounding this release have provided a platform for these surprising revelations about his history with Snoop Dogg’s family.
Evolving perceptions of cannabis
Khalifa‘s casual disclosure about this incident reflects broader societal shifts regarding cannabis acceptance that have occurred since the film’s production in 2012. In the intervening years, numerous states have legalized recreational marijuana use, and public perception has moved increasingly toward normalization and acceptance.
This changing landscape provides important context for understanding both the initial incident and the relatively matter-of-fact manner in which Khalifa discussed it years later. What might have been considered more controversial a decade ago now exists within a cultural environment where cannabis use has become increasingly mainstream.
Nevertheless, questions remain about appropriate boundaries regarding minors and substance use, regardless of changing legal frameworks or cultural attitudes. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between evolving social norms and established protections for young people who may not be equipped to make informed decisions about substance use.
As cannabis continues its transition from counterculture symbol to mainstream commercial product, these discussions about appropriate boundaries and responsibilities become increasingly important, particularly when considering the influence of high-profile celebrities on cultural attitudes and behaviors.
The revelation ultimately serves as a reminder of the complex intersections between celebrity culture, parenting choices, and evolving societal attitudes toward substances like cannabis. As both Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa continue their successful careers, this unexpected glimpse into their shared history adds another dimension to the public’s understanding of their personal and professional relationship.
