Taylor Gang leader Wiz Khalifa’s new Only N*gga In First Class (O.N.I.F.C.) cover art has landed online and his stylist Fatima B. has addressed the eye-catching funky imagery.
According to Fatima, Khalifa’s 70′s-style look is authentic and presentation he has sported over the past few years.
“I can understand both sides of people getting it or not getting it,” she tells The BoomBox. “It’s like Kelis [paving the way with her style] six years ago and you see all these artists now [mimicking it].” According to Fatima, Wiz has embraced this look for nearly two years — the entire time she’s worked with him. The rapper began planning his artwork with the intention of keeping his burgeoning style at the forefront. “If you see how Wiz dresses now, it already gives you this whole hippie feel,” Fatima adds. “This whole ’70s vibe. This sleazy, rockstar-type image. This is what we wanted it to be and we wanted people to see the transition from how Wiz used to dress, up until now. This is where we’re at with the album, the music. It all goes together.”
