Wiz Khalifa’s Twitch Call Goes Viral After He Coaches 13-Year-Old Son to De‑Escalate a Mall Fight
Wiz Khalifa went viral after his 13-year-old son called during a June 19 Twitch stream about a mall fight; Wiz advised de-escalation and defended his parenting.
There is a particular modern anxiety that comes when parenting overlaps with livestreaming: private moments can be amplified in real time. Wiz Khalifa found himself squarely in that landscape on Friday, June 19, when a call from his 13-year-old son landed in the middle of a Twitch broadcast and quickly became a clip people could not stop sharing.
Wiz was livestreaming on Twitch when Sebastian “Bash” Thomaz rang him to report that another kid at the mall was trying to pick a fight. Rather than escalate, the Pittsburgh rapper offered practical, plainspoken guidance focused on staying safe and avoiding confrontation.
“Nah, don’t do that, bro. Don’t get into no fight,” he told Bash. “De-escalate the situation, and if you have to, then protect yourself, but don’t put yourself in no situation where you know some sh*t like that is going to go down.”
The call was audible to everyone watching because Wiz hadn’t muted the stream, and his candor about parenting bled into the chat. When some viewers clipped the exchange or criticized his approach, he pushed back with a line that mixed possessiveness and humor.
“That’s my muthaf**kin’ kid, he’s my responsibility, he’s not yours so…EMD (eat my d**k),” he stated before delivering a hearty laugh.
Social media largely framed the moment as a win for common-sense parenting. Viewers praised the rapper for encouraging his son to avoid violence and for making space for the teenager to call him when he felt threatened. Responses in the stream and on platforms that picked up the clip were direct and approving.
“Smart parenting advice, he’s doing amazing for his son to call him for something like this,” wrote one fan.
“This is top tier parenting as a father.”
“Having a young father with some sense has to be such a blessing as a teen they seem so locked in with each other.”
For a moment the episode read like a primer on how celebrity parents navigate the spillover between family and public life: quick, practical counsel in the middle of a broadcast, followed by a defensive, protective reaction when strangers weigh in. The exchange between Wiz and Bash — and the audience’s reaction to it — is still circulating online.
