On Friday, Feb. 13, the rapper took to social media with the announcement. The zen star must get his famously chill perspective from his dad, whom he described as a “true yogi.”
“Today my father decided not to wake up. I will always love him, miss him and be grateful for the things he taught me,” Wiz wrote about the U.S. Air Force Veteran on X, previously Twitter.
“He went out like a true yogi, at peace and on his own time. I love you forever Laurence W. Thomaz,” he continued.
In a follow-up post, Wiz thanked followers for their outpouring of help and loving messages during this tough time.
“Thank you all for your kind words. It really means a lot in this tough time and is helping me feel better,” he added.
On Instagram tales, the Taylor Gang Captain continued the heartfelt tribute with throwback photographs of little Wiz with his father and the caption, “Love you big guy.”
According to AllHipHop, the Khalifa Kush creator credited his dad for his growth, success, and inspiration to be an “awesome dad.”
Wiz shares a 12-year-old son, Sebastian, with ex-wife Amber Rose. In 2024, he welcomed his first baby, Kaydence, with girlfriend Aimee Aguilar.
The platinum-selling star revealed some particulars of the last time he spoke to his father. They have been celebrating Wiz’s latest appearing position in Moses The Black, a crime drama starring Omar Epps and Chukwudi Iwuji as the titular character.
“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. LT Forever,” he posted on X.
Of course, his dad was proud! Wiz not only performs in his first starring position as the risky hard-body avenue captain 2wo-3ree, but also executive-produced through Taylor Gang Films and curated the star-studded soundtrack. The action-packed impartial movie is based on a real-life story of repentance by a fifth-century saint by the same title, but it weaves through the modern-day streets of Chicago for a compelling story of redemption.
At least Wiz’s father received to see another dream turn into actuality, with Moses The Black in theaters nationwide since Jan. 30.
Our condolences exit to Wiz Khalifa and his household.
