Nov 2024 - Wiz Khalifa Twitter/X Account $WIZ Token Launch - $119k (Global)
"Cameron Jibril Thomaz (born September 8, 1987),[ better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and entrepreneur from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He signed with the local independent label Rostrum Records to release his debut studio album, Show and Prove (2006). His contract entered a short-lived joint venture with Warner Bros. Records the following year. His Eurodance-influenced 2008 single, "Say Yeah" received urban radio airplay and entered both the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Songs charts, becoming his first minor hit.
Thomaz then parted ways with Warner Bros. and independently released his second album, Deal or No Deal (2009). He released two further mixtapes until signing with Atlantic Records in July 2010. He adopted an urban hip hop-influenced approach for his debut single for the label, "Black and Yellow." A tribute to his hometown of Pittsburgh, the song peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and received two Grammy Award nominations. Two of his follow-up singles, "Roll Up" and "No Sleep", peaked within the top 40 of the chart; all three preceded the release of his third album and major label debut, Rolling Papers (2011). Despite mixed critical reception, the album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200."
"Been working with my team to drop $WIZ for all the crypto fans! Y'all not ready for what's coming."
"According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT, American rapper Wiz Khalifa's X account was hacked, posting fake announcements about a WIZ token.
