Please add the following lines to the summary box on the top right beneath the photograph: Spouse(s): Amber Rose (m. 2013-14) Children: 1

Because - if this is information that is relevant to Amber Rose's entry, then it's only fair that it should be relevant to Wiz Khalifa's. Otherwise it seems a bit sexist. :)

Thanks for considering!

The current wording appears correct. To understand why it's correct, the sentence could be read as "Khalifa was born to parents serving in the military", Stickee (talk) 00:18, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is Islam his religion?[edit]

Is he following his grandads' religion? Wiz wrote on Twitter the following 1) Don't be mad because Im comfortable with Allah being my judge and not a man

2)Rest in peace Imani. Your with Allah now

as well some others. Do these demonstrate that he is a Muslim? It seems so.--79.75.40.87 (talk) 16:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unless he explicitly states that he is a Muslim, or any other religion for that matter, we should leave it out. These Tweets may imply he is Muslim, but it's not enough to fully confirm he actually is. SkyWarrior 17:20, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pop-rap?[edit]

Semi-protected edit request Nov 20 7:48PM CST[edit]

Please change the following sentence in the section "Early life": "He is a military brat with his parents' military service caused him to move regularly. " to " His parents' military service caused him to have to move regularly."

"Military brat" is a slang term, and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia outside of quotes. Additionally, the term "brat" can have a negative connotation, and this is a biography of someone who is still alive. Fheituzncowjwpfhthzyalwnfuxownfocnqudysgagagfasskggeciwbcoqfhwlgntsyaosn (talk) 01:51, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the link from Military brat to Military brat (U.S. subculture). The term was used by neither source, but the latter article more clearly explains that the term is not generally considered a pejorative. Changing it to something else altogether also seems reasonable. Regardless, I think keeping the wikilink would be nice, since it provides useful background on the concept.
