Wiz Khalifa makes millions every time he hits the stage thanks to his 7-figure asking price.
The Pittsburgh native revealed his hefty price tag during an appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast. Budden asked Wiz what he charges nowadays since he struck gold with his smash hit "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth in 2015. At first, the Kush + Orange Juice rapper said he makes $250,000 for a guest verse on a song (and that doesn't include a music video). Afterward, Wiz admits he earns at least $2 million just to perform at a show.
"Shows honestly go up to two m's a show," Wiz said. "That's because I got worldwide songs. I got stuff that people sing in China, Brazil, New Zealand and Thailand and Germany and Norway and stuff like Korea and Saudi Arabia."
Wiz appeared on Joe Budden's show to promote his latest album Kush + Orange Juice 2. The album features 23 tracks including "5 Star" featuring Gunna and other collaborations with Chevy Woods, Ty Dolla $ign, Luh Tyler, Curren$y and more. In addition to discussions about his income, Wiz Khalifa also sparked commentary on his thoughts about the Earth. It turns out the 37-year-old artist believes the Earth is flat and doesn't believe in space exploration — even though his new album cover clearly features a round-shaped globe.
"I just believe we live on a flat plane... like a huge flat plane," Wiz said. "I don’t believe in space exploration at all. I don’t believe that they explore space as much as they say that they do."
