Wiz Khalifa shows off his goat parenting skills via Bash

Wiz Khalifa went viral after he calmly advised his son Bash to avoid a mall fight, helping to de-escalate the situation.

“No, don’t do it, brother. Don’t get into a fight…deescalate the situation, protect yourself if you have to, but don’t put yourself in any position where you know something like this will happen.”

Damn it.

Wiz Khalifa just gave the internet a surprise look at fatherhood, and people are embracing it.

By the way, I was prepared to criticize Wiz. One day, he said his son went to school smelling like weed cologne. Suddenly, he did it and became a model parent.

While on the air, Wiz found himself in a real-life situation when his 13-year-old son, Bash, called him on air to ask the question every parent fears. The cameras kept rolling. While Bash is at the mall, another kid is apparently looking for trouble and wants a fight.

Rather than hyping up his son or turning the situation into a tough-guy lesson, Wiz Khalifa took control of the situation. He immediately urged Bash to avoid confrontation. Yes, this is the dad who promotes MMA and boxing.

“No, don’t do it, bro. Don’t fight…deescalate the situation, protect yourself if you have to, but don’t put yourself in any situation where you know something like this is going to happen,” Wiz said.

The video quickly spread on social media, with people praising the rapper for his emphasis on conflict resolution rather than violence. Wiz seems focused on teaching her son how to avoid unnecessary drama while still standing his ground when he has no other choice. Now, that’s a real fatherly thing to do. Also, I’m shocked this guy still lets his son be normal like that. I’m glad he allowed this…without security.

Of course, this is the Internet. It’s all a debate and a scripted reality. I think Wiz expected that. He immediately addressed the audience directly. He doesn’t care how people receive the exchange. To him, Bash was his son and he would raise him as he saw fit.

I think this is cool. And, even if it has a little bit of The Truman Show in it, I’m okay with that. It offers the wisdom of sages for both children and adults. One day, a father stopped an adult man who was bullying his children and vandalized the store. People love it. It’s the opposite. People love it too.

Well done, Wiz.
