Wiz Khalifa is known for his music, tattoos, laid-back lifestyle, and strong connection to cannabis. But a closer look reveals another surprisingly down-to-earth passion: plants. On his Instagram account, he occasionally shows that he’s interested not only in the finished greenery but also in the care, watering, and handling of plants.

Between Rap, Lifestyle, and a Green Thumb
On Wiz Khalifa’s Instagram account, alongside photos and reels of intense sports sessions and musical contributions, you can occasionally find posts about his plants. One reel is simply captioned “Plant watering Sunday,” offering a glimpse into a side of his daily life that has little in common with the glamorous musician lifestyle.
Perhaps that’s where the special appeal lies. While celebrities often showcase their homes with designer furniture, art, or spectacular architecture, a Sunday with a watering can is almost demonstratively unspectacular. And that’s precisely why this small glimpse is so endearing.
His enthusiasm for cultivating plants became even more apparent a few years ago in an interview with Vogue. There, Khalifa spoke extensively about his experiences with growing and breeding cannabis. His friend Berner taught him, among other things, how plants of the same strain can differ, how pollination works, and how new strains are created. Khalifa explicitly described it as a learning process: He learned a lot about cultivation and growing through hands-on work with the plants.
His Passion for Plants Has a Long History
Khalifa’s connection to plants isn’t entirely new. Cannabis has been a central part of his public image and music since the beginning of his career. It has even evolved into its own brand universe. With Khalifa Kush, the rapper developed his own cannabis brand.
So when talking about Wiz Khalifa having a “green thumb,” it shouldn’t be understood as just the classic hobby gardener. His story with plants is closely tied to his career and personal lifestyle. At the same time, recent insights show another facet: the man who apparently also cares about the everyday moment when a plant needs care.

A Little Bit Rapper, a Little Bit “Plant Dad”?
Portraying Wiz Khalifa as a passionate plant lover would be an exaggeration given the available sources. There is simply too little reliable information about the size or exact composition of his plant collection.
What can be said, however, is that plants and their cultivation have accompanied him for a long time, and current glimpses into his daily life show that he is personally involved in the care of greenery. This doesn’t turn the cannabis-affine rapper into a classic hobby gardener–but into a surprisingly credible “Plant Dad.”
Cannabis–Legal, but Not Without Issues
Cannabis is an integral part of Wiz Khalifa’s public image. However, the use of the drug should not be glorified. Regular cannabis use can pose health risks and affect concentration, reaction time, and mental well-being. Experts particularly warn young people and young adults about potential consequences.

Legal regulations vary by country. In Germany, cannabis has been legal for adults under certain conditions since April 2024. Permitted activities include possessing limited amounts and growing a small number of plants for personal use. However, sale and commercial distribution remain largely prohibited.
In the U.S., there is no uniform regulation. While cannabis is allowed for medical or even private use in many states, it remains a prohibited substance at the federal level. The applicable regulations depend on the specific state.
Wiz Khalifa’s interest in cultivating cannabis plants thus exists in a tension between a passion for plants, business, and a drug whose use remains controversial despite increasing legalization.
