Wiz Khalifa performs on Friday night, Oct. 11, 2019 at Pitt’s Peterson Events Center in Pittsburgh after Pitt’s Blue and Gold Madness event featuring opening scrimmages from the men and women’s basketball teams.

Hip hop megastar Wiz Khalifa revealed in a tweet that he has tested positive for covid-19 in a Tweet on Wednesday.

“Okay loved ones….sooo…..Ya boy got covid. No symptoms. Just stay away from me for a lil while,” the musician wrote on Twitter.

He said he plans to use the quarantine time to work on new projects.

“While im in the house I’ll be givin y’all new content, planning raves, and readying this new project,” he said in a separate post.

He did not specify whether he had been vaccinated.

Since graduating from Allderdice High School in Squirrel Hill, he has released multiple successful songs, such as “See You Again”, which reached the top of the billboard charts in 2015 and “Black and Yellow”, a clear tribute to Pittsburgh, which topped the billboard charts in 2011.

Khalifa’s real name Cameron Thomaz.

In December 2012, Pittsburgh honored him with a proclamation for “Wiz Khalifa Day.”

In May, he was unmasked Wednesday night on the fifth season finale of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” with host Nick Cannon calling him “one of the biggest stars to ever grace our ‘Masked Singer’ stage.”
