In 2005 he released his first official mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, and later in 2006 he released his first full length street album entitled Show and Prove. Since then he has released a further six mixtapes and a collaboration mixtape titled How Fly with friend Curren$y. He released his debut album, Deal or No Deal, in November of 2009, it reached #1 on the iTunes hip hop chart, and then reached the top ten on iTunes' overall album chart the week it was released. Previously signed to Warner Bros. Records, he left the label in July 2009 after numerous delays in releasing his planned debut album for the label, First Flight. Khalifa stated to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that, "I learned a lot during my time there and matured as an artist during the process. I'm happy to be moving on with all of my material and having the chance to be in control of my next moves".He is also the founder of the rap crew Taylor Gang, which includes friends Kev Tha Hustler, Ekko, Smallz Money and Gene Stovall. They derived the name from the fact they always used to wear Chuck Taylor shoes.
Khalifa was born on September 8, 1987 in Minot, North Dakota to a mother and a father serving in the military. The family moved to Pittsburgh when Khalifa was the age of two. His parents' military service caused the family to move on a regular basis.
Over the next thirteen years, he would move between Pittsburgh and South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Germany, Japan, and England as his parents were reassigned to different posts. In October of 1990 Wiz was separated from his mother,who left him in the hands of her sister while she served in Operation Desert Storm.
During his travels, Wiz was forced to mature quicker than his peers. He was constantly faced with new surroundings, new schools, and new sets of friends, and he found it difficult to become attached to anyone outside his family roots. This nomadic life gave Wiz an opportunity, though, to broaden his mind and offered him many experiences from which to draw inspiration. He began to perceive the world differently than most kids, and he would write his thoughts down every day.These thoughts would become the foundation for his future recordings.
By the age of 14, with a few songs under his belt, Wiz was already drawing comparisons with his commanding voice and witty wordplay. While he has been influenced by artists such as Jay-Z, Camron, and the Notorious B.I.G., Wiz was determined to create his own identity that would, one day, be loved and revered by fans.
Ready to take the next step, Wiz began his search for a recording studio to record new songs. He found one, ID LABS, where owner Eric Dan immediately recognized Wiz's talents. Along with Chad Glick of ID Management, they began to network Wiz to another Pittsburgh native, Benjy Grinberg of Rostrum Records. Benjy realized the raw talent that Wiz possessed, and immediately brought him into the Rostrum family in 2002.
Soon after, Wiz Khalifa began his ascent into the music scene in the Pittsburgh area. He has been hailed by the award winning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pop music critic, Ed Masley, as having “the skills, the looks, the confidence, the drive, and the charisma for the job.” The New Pittsburgh Courier says, “The combination of a young, charismatic M.C. with a slew of stop-and-rewind rhymes together with a local independent label with major industry connections has set the stage for a hip-hop artist representing Pittsburgh to reach superstar status for the first time ever.
In 2010, with the success of Kush and Orange Juice still present, Wiz Khalifa signed with Atlantic Records. Wiz's style along with his production team, Johnny Juliano, Sledgren, and E. Dan make this a winning combination for success.
He is also well known for his debut single for Atlantic, "Black and Yellow", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album for the label, Rolling Papers, was released on March 29, 2011. He followed that album with O.N.I.F.C. (abbreviated for mainstream markets from "Only Nigga In First Class") on December 4, 2012 which was backed by the singles "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "Remember You". O.N.I.F.C. debuted at number two with 131,000 in first week sales.
Pittsburgh City Council declared 12-12-12 (December 12, 2012) to be Wiz Khalifa Day in the city. Khalifa graduated from Pittsburgh's Taylor Allderdice High School and in January 2012, purchased a home in nearby Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
In April 2013, Khalifa revealed that after having his son he decided to work on a new album that he was planning to release in 2013. On April 17, 2013, Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y announced that they will drop their collaboration EP Live in Concert on April 20, 2013. The EP featured seven new songs. On June 24, 2013, he announced that his fifth studio album would be titled Blacc Hollywood and would be released in 2013. On September 3, 2013, Khalifa revealed he had recorded songs with Miley Cyrus, Adele and Juicy J for Blacc Hollywood. In October 2013, Mannie Fresh confirmed that he provided production for the album. On February 11, 2014, Khalifa released Blacc Hollywood's first single titled "We Dem Boyz". The album was then supported by the singles "KK", "You and Your Friends", "Stayin Out All Night", "Promises" and "So High".
Khalifa released an EP with TY Dolla $ign on March 31, 2015, entitled "Talk About It In the Morning". That same month, Wiz released the lead single for the film "Furious 7" called "See You Again" as a tribute to Paul Walker. The single has since gone on to global success. "See You Again" spent 12 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, tying for the longest-running rap number-one hit in the US.
On January 23, 2015, Khalifa was featured on a remix release of the Fall Out Boy song "Uma Thurman". On May 18, they performed the song together on the 2015 Billboard Music Awards show. In the summer of 2015, he began touring the United States with Fall Out Boy and Hoodie Allen in a tour titled "The Boys of Zummer Tour". The tour featured performances of "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy and Khalifa. Later that year, on December 15, 2015, Wiz released the mixtape "Cabin Fever 3". During the Golden Globes on January 10, 2016, Wiz announced that his next album, titled Khalifa, would be released on the 22nd of that month. However, the album was released on February 5, 2016. On May 24, 2016, he released "Pull Up", a standalone single in promotion of his sixth album, Rolling Papers 2, which was released on July 13, 2018.
On April 20, 2020, Khalifa released, The Saga of Wiz Khalifa. The album included collaborations with Tyga, Logic, Mustard and Ty Dolla $ign. In May 2020, Khalifa featured on the song "Drums Drums Drums" with Travis Barker.
In 2021, Khalifa competed in season five of The Masked Singer as "Chameleon". He finished in third place.
Ain’t No Fun
Wiz Khalifa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She wanna smoke weed, get drunk
But it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
She just left her man
And if he ain't a player, then he don't understand
That it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
Uh, baow
She ain't flaw, she ain't trippin' (she ain't trippin')
Call her homegirl "Bass" 'cause they hittin' on some real shit
Let a real nigga feel it
If it bounce, let it bounce 'cause your homegirl wit' it
She a go-getter, motherfuck a whole nigga (woo)
Got her own bread, never been no gold digger (woo)
Takin' trips, bring the clique, what's the word?
On the flip, let me slide 'cause he drip
Too much water, you might slip
On a late, late, late night (uh)
She ain't biting? You ain't never had your bait right (nah)
Reel her in, bring a friend, all 'em tens
Some thick, some slim, hit the crib
We gon' do this shit again (K.R.I.T.)
She just got her hair done
She wanna smoke weed, get drunk
But it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
She just left her man
And if he ain't a player, then he don't understand
That it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none (uh)
She in her bag not her feelings (not her feelings)
Shit, her bag a little different (little different)
So she brag a little different
Got the status and the vision (uh-huh)
She a baddie on a mission
She ain't no ordinary, listen
She a big girl, don't need no referrals
She got degrees, she don't need you, she'll curve
Not a thot nor a fronter, do a lot for a number
Need a cool nigga 'round, she been hot all summer (uh)
If you figure out the balance, you'll be rich forever
Best thing a woman can have is her shit together
Waist trainer for what? That Keto doin' enough
And plus, all them squats got you thick as ever
Whoa
She just got her hair done
She wanna smoke weed, get drunk
But it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none (uh)
She just left her man
And if he ain't a player, then he don't understand
That it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none

The opening lines, "She just got her hair done, she wanna smoke weed, get drunk," indicate that the woman is in a celebratory mood and wants to let loose, possibly after accomplishing something or simply wanting to have a good time. However, the lyrics suggest that the woman values the company of her friends, as it "ain't no fun if the homies can't have none." This line emphasizes the importance of sharing experiences and enjoyment with the people she cares about.
The next verse reveals that the woman has recently ended a relationship, and if her ex-partner wasn't someone who understood the dynamics of casual enjoyment and camaraderie, then he wouldn't comprehend that "it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none."

She is portrayed as a "big girl" in reference to her confidence and self-sufficiency, rather than her physical appearance. The lyrics suggest that she is highly educated and capable, focusing on personal growth and success. The woman's pride in her accomplishments is evident as she proclaims that the best thing a woman can have is her "shit together."
Overall, the lyrics of "Ain't No Fun" depict a self-assured and independent woman who values the companionship of her friends, enjoys having fun on her own terms, and is unapologetic about her achievements and capabilities.
