Cameron Jibril Thomaz, better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Born on September 8, 1987, in Minot, North Dakota, U.S., Khalifa's rise to stardom is a testament to his talent, work ethic, and unique style.

Wiz Khalifa signed with local independent label Rostrum Records to release his debut studio album, Show and Prove. Although it didn't catapult him to fame, it laid the foundation for what was to come. After parting ways with Warner Bros., Wiz Khalifa independently released his second album, Deal or No Deal. His mixtapes caught attention, leading to a pivotal moment in his career.

His urban hip-hop anthem, Black and Yellow, paid homage to his hometown of Pittsburgh. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and earned him two Grammy Award nominations.

Moreover, his major label debut, Rolling Papers, blended hip-hop and pop influences. Hits like Roll Up and No Sleep solidified his place in the mainstream. His fourth album, O.N.I.F.C., continued the trend. Singles like Work Hard, Play Hard and Remember You (featuring The Weeknd) resonated with fans.

Wiz Khalifa's collaboration with Charlie Puth for the Furious 7 soundtrack resulted in the emotional ballad See You Again. It spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, became diamond-certified, and earned Grammy nominations.

His sixth album, Rolling Papers 2, matched its predecessor's chart position. The sleeper hit Something New (featuring Ty Dolla Sign) added to his repertoire.

He isn't just a musician; he's an entrepreneur. His brand, Taylor Gang, extends beyond music into fashion and lifestyle. He was married to model Amber Rose, and they have a child together.

Wiz Khalifa's accolades include Grammy nominations, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, BET Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards. His impact on the music scene continues to resonate, making him a true icon in the industry.
