Wiz Khalifa insists that hes not racist.
The 30-year-old rapper has been accused by a South Korean newspaper of making insensitive comments on the track Hot Now, which features on his Rolling Papers 2 album.
But Wiz – whose lyrics include, “Smoke got my eyes lookin Korean” – explained: Chill out, Im not racist. I love all races.
The American star said he has some Korean friends and none of them have raised an issue with his lyrics.
Speaking to The Breakfast Club radio show, Wiz explained: I have Korean friends who are not offended, so I dont know those people who are saying that. My art is up for interpretation.
Wiz previously admitted his new album is as important to him as his 2006 debut Show and Prove.
And the rap star revealed he feels he now has a point to prove to himself and his fans.
