Wiz Khalifa is one of the last artists you would think associate with violence, which makes this story extra cray cray. A man was shot and killed backstage at the Pittsburgh rapper’s show in San Jose on Friday night (August 22), which led him to the cancel his next show.
According to TMZ, two men got into an argument backstage. One pulled out a gun and shot the other man at least five times before fleeing. The victim died from his injuries while the shooter is still at large.
All of this occurred while Wiz was still performing on stage.
The incident led to the cancellation of last night’s show in Chula Vista, Ca., says TMZ.
“Due to a situation out of our control, tonight’s UTIOM show is cancelled,” tweeted Wiz yesterday.
“This was a senseless tragedy. Violence is never the answer. My prayers go out to the victim’s family.”
According to the police they believe neither Wiz nor anyone in his entourage were involved in the shooting.
Wiz may have to beef up his security a little. That is sad Monkeyfoolishness.
Our prayers go out to the victim’s family.
