A viral video that shows rapper Wiz Khalifa sharing an intimate father-son moment has sparked debate on social media.
The video shows the 33-year-old “Black and Yellow” rap star kissing his 7-year-old son, Sebastian, on the mouth.
The response to the kiss was largely negative, as many said the boy is too old to kiss his father.
An Instagram user left this comment under the original video source:
“[W]ho in the rightful mind kiss their son in the mouth especially a guy that sh*t is nasty. all you’re doing is pushing the agenda more to the public eye and telling kids it’s okay to kiss men in the mouth when it’s not some of ya are f***ing sick asf ya need jesus fr [sic].”
But not everyone agreed with the judgmental folks.
“Y’all are strange. He kissed his son good morning for like a second,” wrote one Instagram user.
Another user wrote: “I don’t see anything wrong with it. It was a little peck, They took this way out of context. Yes these peoples are extraaaa, but, that’s social media for you! Smh.”
And a third wrote: “There was nothing wrong with this interaction… A father showing love to his son. I’m sorry that all young boys can’t receive this kind of love from their fathers. Maybe we’d have less toxic men if we normalized farthers showing affection to their sons. IJS.”
Sebastian is Khalifa’s son with Instagram model and entrepreneur Amber Rose, 37.
