Wiz Khalifa was a victim of police brutality growing up in Pittsburgh

Wiz Khalifa has taken aim at his native Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s over-zealous police officers, revealing he has often been spread-eagled against his car with a gun at his head.
The Black & Yellow hitmaker admits he has been racially profiled by cops so many times he now almost expects them to pull him over and rough him up whenever he’s driving around his home state.
“Cops there are crazy,” he tells Playboy. “I’ve never been pulled over without them having a gun to my head. Even with traffic stops, they’ll put a gun to your head and say, ‘Get the f**k out the car. What you got?’
“(They’re) searching you, breaking s**t, twisting your arm.
“They’re cool about weed, though. I got jammed up a lot in Pittsburgh, but I never did real time.”
And as if that wasn’t enough to inspire a series of rap songs, Wiz has also seen more than his fair share of death and destruction on the streets of Pittsburgh.
“It was f**ked-up and really dark,” he tells the publication about his upbringing. “(There were) a lot of shootings and gang violence. I saw people get killed. You’d get off the bus and somebody would be dead and they’d be cleaning it up. A lot of waking up in the morning and seeing people you knew dead on the news.”
