In Week 2, the numbers 2 and 3 were shown on dice hanging off that hog of a motorcycle Khalifa had a big hit in 2013 when he recorded “23” with Miley Cyrus and Juicy J. When the Chameleon said he was proud to show his “true colors” we thought of his 2014 pairing with Nicki Minaj on a song with that title.
The French word “bonjour” in Week 4 put us in mind of “French Inhale,” his 2011 collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Mike Posner. Wiz’s recording career provided the basis for many of the clues.
When we first saw the Chameleon he admitted that when his singing career stalled, he turned to his tech-savvy skills to change the game Wiz created one of the all-time best-selling phone apps, “Weed Farm.” Wiz sang at the college’s homecoming in 2019 and his hometown honored him with his own day in 2012.
