Rapper Wiz Khalifa, 30, is under scrutiny following a comment he made during an interview last week.
The “Black and Yellow” singer told listeners, “You gotta break it in half, ’cause if you bite a banana, you sus.”
New York’s Power 105.1 FM presenter Charlamagne tha God responded, “God damn, Wiz! That’s how you wanna start the interview off?”
It just kept getting worse from there.

“Nah, if you a n***a, like, n****s gotta break the banana in half,” he retorted.
“Why? It’s just a fruit,” Charlamagne tha God said.
“I’m just trying to help you out, bro,” Khalifa replied. “If you’re in public, and you’re eating a banana, just break it into pieces.”
The only thing being broken into pieces at this moment is Khalifa’s LGBTQ fan base.
Hey @wizkhalifa if you think eating a banana will make you wanna blow a guy you probably already wanna blow a guy. Also your logic is incredibly stupid, juvenile and homophobic. You should try to be a smarter person. https://t.co/H2dIsBAKlA
