Wiz Khalifa lost his cool during a recent appearance to celebrate his new album. At Poppy in Los Angeles, Wiz was hosting a release party for his new LP, Multiverse. After the deejays at the event failed to queue up his music to his liking, Wiz went off. After the footage made the internet rounds, famed deejay Kid Capri posted an IG video and shared his thoughts on the incident. Capri criticized Wiz's behavior.

"Going to @wizkhalifa for disrespecting them djs!!!#kidcapri" he captioned the post.

"Yo, Wiz Khalifa," Capri says in the video. "I'm a bit surprised, man. When I met you...you was a cool dude, man. That's why I'm a little surprised as to why you would disrespect those DJs like that, man."

Wiz's behavior has been widely criticized after the footage of his performance at went viral.

"Bitch-ass nigga, if you want to fight we can do it," Wiz can be heard telling the man standing behind the laptop in the widely-circulated clip. "Y'all niggas suck. Don't hug me, bitch," Wiz says after the man attempts to embrace him. "Play my new shit, nigga. Play it. Play 'Bad Ass Bitches.'"

The harangue didn't stop there.

"Y'all are horrible DJs," Wiz continues. "I came here tonight, to hope for y'all to have a good-ass time, a great-ass time. But you know what I'm not gonna do? I'm not gonna let these ho-ass niggas think this shit is acceptable. I'm a real-ass nigga, dawg. My album just came out today. Play my new shit, dawg."

Kid Capri said that Wiz could've been a little more patient, and speculated that the DJs were inexperienced.

"These kids are young dudes, probably," Capri says in his video."[They're] scared, nervous that they're playing for you, probably. Happy that they're playing for you. Probably not as professional and on-point as you are. But for you to stand up there and disrespect them like that was crazy, B."
