Dad Suddenly Dies at 63 Years Old
Published
Wiz Khalifa‘s father, Laurence W. Thomaz, has died.
The rapper shared the sad news on social media Friday, noting … “I will always love him, miss him and be [grateful] for the things he taught me.”
He did not reveal a cause of death, but said it “was sudden.” He added … “Seeing how many people love and respected him” made him happy … noting, “I know he’s proud that he left a positive impact on this earth. Literally all he ever wanted.”
Wiz — whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz — also posted a handful of throwback pics to commemorate his father, including one that shows them at the playground.
The “Young, Wild & Free” hitmaker was close to Laurence, a former military man. Wiz previously told NME his dad opened up a recording studio in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when he was a kid, which laid the foundation of his future. He recalled … “I lived in that studio. And that’s what turned me into who I am today.”
He was 63 years old.
RIP
