Wiz Khalifa has spoken candidly about his relationship with Amber Rose years after their divorce, describing a co-parenting bond built on mutual respect, shared history, and a conscious decision to do better than the generation before them.
The rapper was direct about where things stand between him and his former wife. “That’s my sister,” he said. “I look at her like my sister.”
Far from a performance for public consumption, he insists the dynamic is genuine behind closed doors. “We ride for each other behind closed doors,” he said. “There’s nobody who can come in between us. Not even our parents.”
Central to that bond is their son Sebastian. Wiz described the effort both he and Amber put into showing up together for their child, not separately, and making sure Sebastian sees his parents function as a unit. This man needs to see his father treat his mother good,” he said.
He needs to hear his mother say great things about his father. Like that’s important, you know, like for real, for real.”
Both Wiz and Amber grew up watching parents who could not manage to be in the same space without dysfunction, and he was clear that breaking that cycle was a deliberate choice. “We got to break that and we got to be better for our kids,” he said.
He described holidays, birthdays, and everyday moments that Sebastian gets to experience with both parents present, something neither he nor Amber had growing up.
On the marriage itself, Wiz was reflective rather than bitter. “We planned on being with each other forever,” he said. But that gets difficult.”
He pushed back on the idea that a legal divorce has to mean the end of everything. “I think we’re proving that it’s not the end of everything,” he said. “Like even when that legal stuff is over.”
He was equally honest about what it takes to get there, and what gets in the way for others. “You got to really not be an asshole,” he said. “
A lot of people are putting up a front for cameras, and they’ll be Superman when the camera comes on and be a piece of shit behind closed doors.”
When asked whether their son made them better people, Wiz gave an answer that was notably self-aware. He credited Amber first, then turned the lens on himself. “I feel like she was already dope,” he said. “I needed to grow my ass up.”
He framed the broader journey as one of personal development that ultimately benefits everyone around them. “Time helps and heals everything,” he said. “
You can go through a situation one year, and then six or seven years later, that shit don’t even matter. But you have to be the bigger person, and you have to grow.”
The picture Wiz paints is not one of a clean or easy resolution, but of two people who chose to put in the work, for their son, for themselves, and for each other.
