Wiz Khalifa reveals final conversation with dad before sudden death

Rapper Wiz Khalifa has shared the heartbreaking news that his father has died suddenly at the age of 63.

The 38-year-old star, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, revealed on X that his dad, Laurence W. Thomaz, “decided not to wake up”, describing his passing as peaceful and on his “own time”.

In an emotional post, Wiz wrote: “Today my father decided not to wake up. I will always love him, miss him and be grateful for the things he taught me. 

He went out like a true yogi, at peace and on his own time. I love you forever Laurence W. Thomaz… LT Forever.”

The See You Again hitmaker said their final conversation will stay with him forever. 

“The last conversation I had with my dad was him telling me how proud of me he was for the movie I was in and I promised him I would do more.”

He later thanked fans for their outpouring of love, admitting their kind words are helping him through the “tough time”.

Laurence was said to have played a huge role in launching his son’s career, even opening a recording studio in Pittsburgh where a young Wiz would spend hours honing his craft.

Away from music, Wiz is a devoted dad to his 12-year-old son, Sebastian, whom he shares with model Amber Rose. 

He has previously said fatherhood is his greatest gift and now, he’s mourning the man who first believed in him.
