I would never call my mom a bitch, my little sister a bitch. We use our words, they use their bodies – it's an understanding. There are women in the industry who use what they know to get ahead. It means that I probably met some bitches in my life who did some things. 'At the end of the day, where we could be a little bit more sensitive, I feel as hip-hop artists we just take the realer route and we talk about more of what we see.' So he's talking about specific women who act in a certain way to promote their own interests? That's why you hear those words.' He breaks off to take a drag from a huge joint as casually as other interviewees might sip on a cup of coffee. But some of the women we see in our community – a lot of the ones that we talk about, who we don't have respect for – are the ones who come out in the music. 'It's a double-edged sword,' he says, impressively unperturbed by the question. So how can he square all that with the retrograde and misogynistic content of some of his lyrics?

In person, he is polite, engaged and smart. He was also married to self-proclaimed feminist, model and actress Amber Rose, with whom he has a three-year-old son, Sebastian. He's taken part in high- profile collaborations, recorded with artists such as Snoop Dogg and Miley Cyrus, has been nominated for 10 Grammy awards and won three Billboard awards. He was only 20 minutes late for our interview, which in the world of hip-hop stars is admirably punctual.Īt 28, the Pittsburgh-raised Khalifa – real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz – has already released a string of hit songs, such as Black And Yellow, We Dem Boyz and See You Again (used on the Furious 7 soundtrack).
We've covered the necessary ground: he's talked about his sixth studio album Khalifa, his tendency to self-critique ('I'm just really, really picky') and the fact that he wrote his first rap at the age of eight ('It was about just being cool'). To backtrack: we're half- way through the interview and it's going pretty well. TWEEN PARTY PACK 3 is a collection of all the hottest hits!
