Wiz Khalifa appeared on Ebro in the Morning today, and he shared some crazy financial news with the crew. According to Wiz, he could stand to make up to half a billion dollars on his signature weed strain Khalifa Kush. Ebro threw out the lofty figure early in the interview, asking Wiz if it was based off real analytics or was just a dream number.

"I think that's pretty accurate," he said. "You just look at it as far as the plants go. I started with two plants. In six months, those two plants turned into ten plants. And then we cut those ten plants, and those ten plants turned into 100 plants. And then 100 plants turn into a whole room."

Of course, this isn't going to happen overnight; the $500 million figure is based off a 40 year timeline. Even divided up over that time though, that equals about $12.5 million per year, not a bad payday for the Pittsburgh rapper. 

Elsewhere in the interview, Wiz—sort of—buried his longstanding beef with Rosenberg. The pair had a falling out around the time of Wiz's divorce with Amber Rose. Rosenberg offered an apology for his behavior after picking Amber's side in the whole mess, and Wiz gave a soft acceptance.

This led to a conversation about Wiz and Amber's seemingly successful co-parenting style. "It just took a lot of putting the responsibility on myself, and not waiting for a reaction to just happen," he said. "If I wanted a positive relationship with Amber... I had to everyday wake up and have that on my mind. Like that's what my real goal is."

He also discussed his feelings on new-school rappers, his shout out from Fetty Wap on "Wake Up," and more. You can check out the whole interview in the video above.
