Wiz Khalifa Hopes To Avoid Legal Troubles At Raleigh Amphitheater

Pittsburgh-based rapper Wiz Khalifa is hitting the road behind the release of his Atlantic Records debut, Rolling Papers, and is planning to make a stop in Raleigh this spring.

Wiz Khalifa, who saw success in 2010 with his single “Black and Yellow,” will perform at the Raleigh Amphitheater April 1 with Mac Miller. Tickets go on sale Feb. 18 at 10 a.m.

In November 2010, Wiz Khalifa was arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana after performing at East Carolina University. ECU Police initially entered Wiz Khalifa’s bus after detecting a marijuana smell.

The bust yielded more than 60 grams of the drug.

“Due to that strong smell of odor of marijuana an investigation ensued in which, at the end of the concert, resulted in Wiz Khalifa as well as nine of his band members to be arrested for possession of marijuana,” ECU Police Chief Dawn Tevepaugh said.

The rapper was released from the Pitt County detention center on a $300,000 bond. He was paid $10,000 for his performance at Wright Auditorium.

Wiz Khalifa is scheduled to drop Rolling Papers on March 29 through Atlantic Records.
