“So High” rapper Wiz Khalifa has dug deep into his relationship with weed. In his recent GQ interview that dropped last week (February 16th), the 35-year-old dishes on his “Wiz Wellness Plan,” which includes training in MMA and smoking Khalifa Kush. When asked if smoking affects his workouts, Wiz revealed that his weed habits actually aid his ability to keep up. “Nah, I got really good cardio,” he explains, “I honestly think smoking weed helps my wind a little better because I have breath control and I’m able to take these deep, long breaths that normal people who don’t drag strong marijuana—they don’t experience that.”
Wiz, who added 40 pounds of muscle this past year, has been focusing on his personal wellness over the last few years. Accordingly, he has followed through with a routine that highlights his personal growth through fitness, diet, and sleep. Focusing on his physical health has in turn helped him mentally, the rap icon reveals. “Mentally, it helps me stay disciplined. It keeps me on track, it challenges me and it gives me goals to achieve each step of the way,” he explains. To Wiz, focusing on his goals gives him an incomparable sense of “gratification.”

Wiz starts his day at five in the morning and hits the gym after a hearty breakfast. The father-of-one says that no matter what, he sticks to his five-day workout routine. The rapper specifically trains in Muay Thai and MMA, which has contributed to his “discipline.” When reflecting on his training, Wiz says he enjoys “learning and developing different skills and assets that are good for the sport and good for other areas in life as well.”
Currently, Wiz is an appointed judge for the Professional Fighters League’s eight-part “Challenger Series.” He initially joined the PFL partnership in 2021. “I do everything that I can from making theme songs to showing up at the events and performing,” the award-winning artist says. The “Challenger Series” is currently available to stream on Fubo Sports.
