He did not specify whether he had been vaccinated.

Since graduating from Allderdice High School in Squirrel Hill, he has released multiple successful songs, such as “See You Again”, which reached the top of the billboard charts in 2015 and “Black and Yellow”, a clear tribute to Pittsburgh, which topped the billboard charts in 2011.

Khalifa’s real name Cameron Thomaz.

In December 2012, Pittsburgh honored him with a proclamation for “Wiz Khalifa Day.”

In May, he was unmasked Wednesday night on the fifth season finale of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” with host Nick Cannon calling him “one of the biggest stars to ever grace our ‘Masked Singer’ stage.”
