Wiz Khalifa is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. His stage name, Wiz, is short for “wisdom.” The name Khalifa is an Arabic word, meaning “successor.”
Wiz is the son of Peachie Wimbush and Laurence Thomaz, who were in the U.S. military. Due to their careers, he was raised in Germany, the U.K., and Japan, and then Pittsburgh. He has a son with his former wife, hip hop model, hip hop artist, and fashion designer Amber Rose.
Full name for the parents are Laurence Wesley Thomaz, 58, and Katie “Peachie” M. Wimbush-Polk, 57. The mother appears to have been married a few times, so this is her most recent surname, though it includes her maiden name.
I cannot find, however, find any information about either’s birthplace or parents. Both are veterans of the United States Air Force and thus have lived all over the country and abroad.
He’s the son of Laurence Thomaz and Peachie Wimbush
