Wiz Khalifa proliferates across the entire entertainment community, well known as a rapper, actor, singer and songwriter. The hip hop star is also known for the enviable cars featured in his videos and owned by him personally. Even if Khalifa’s infamous jailhouse selfie gets more attention for a while, it’ll be the rides he’s seen in that car-loving fans will remember.
Bumblebee Dodge Challenger
Wiz Khalifa’s hugely popular single “Black and Yellow” is physically represented by his Dodge Challenger SRT8 customized in the perfect “bumblebee” black and yellow. The song references Khalifa’s die-hard loyalty to and pride in Pittsburg, the colors themselves hearkening to the Pittsburg Steelers football team.
The Challenger SRT8 is not, on its own, an extravagant vehicle, with a ticket cost of around $33,000. The classic car style to the body and interior looks and feels much more luxurious than the average affordable ride, and the car presents a wealth of customization possibilities.
Wiz Khalifa’s prized Challenger is finished in a glossy black paint, highlighted with stunning pops of bright yellow. The rapper has received from harsh criticism for the over-sized spoke-style rims, some say the size and shape look cheap and must ruin the usually smooth ride, but at the end of the day the car looks perfectly matched to Khalifa and retains all of the Challenger’s growling classic appeal.
Porsche 911 Coupe
The music video for Wiz Khalifa’s single “It’s Nothing” shows the artist barreling through the desert in a black Porsche 911 convertible. In the video, Khalifa drives the ultra-luxurious whip through an expansive desert with intense ferocity. The sports car must have made an impression on Khalifa, who purchased his own Porsche 911 coupe soon after making the video.
An upgrade in terms of luxury from the previously mentioned Challenger, Khalifa’s Porsche was photographed, showing off the surprisingly understated grey finish. Many speculate that Wiz Khalifa is bound to customize the car just as much as the controversially fashioned Challenger, though that remains to be seen. We can assume, at least, that the rapper’s real life Porsche will be treated a little better than the 911 featured in the “It’s Nothing” music video.
Rolls Royce
Wiz Khalifa brings his stellar taste in eye-catching rides to his romantic gestures for fiancé Amber Rose, as well. As part of a night of gleeful celebration for Amber Rose’s 29th birthday, Khalifa escorted his special lady to a Hollywood, California hot spot in a white and chrome Rolls Royce. While it is safe to assume neither Khalifa or Rose own the Rolls Royce they were pictured with that night, it goes down as one of the more romantic uses for a coveted luxurious vehicle.
Whether you like his customized style or find it garish, there is no denying that hip hop superstar Wiz Khalifa stays true to himself. The rides Khalifa shows off, both on the streets and in his videos, are eye-catching and well suited to the artist behind the wheel.
