Yesterday, Wiz Khalifa shared the cover art for his forthcoming album O.N.I.F.C., and with its release came a lot of criticism from fans over Twitter and other social media networks. After seeing what critics had to say Wiz took to his Twitter to address the negative response and to offer his reasoning behind the cover.

To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected #BossUp Im Helpin Everyone Get In Touch With Their Inner Sleaze. If U Dnt Wanna Let It Out, Ill Express It For You I’ll Be Brave Enough. Onifc Is Not For The Scary. Iss About Taking Risks So The People Who Believe What We Believe In Can Feel Free The Cover Art Should Give You Confidence And Let You Know You Can Fully Be Yourself In Front Of People No Matter What They Say Or Think You Dont Have To Hide That Shit. Let It Out!!! Thass What The Artwork Really Represents And If Your Still Scared, I’ll Do It For You Lets All Grow Together!!!

Now with that cleared up, does it change your original thoughts on the album's cover?

    I respect his individuality (getting Jimi Hendrix/Prince vibes from this) but I would appreciate some periods and maybe a comma here and there even more.

    It still doesn't change nothing. Wiz's pants are so tight that it won't even let him sit down in that chair. He needs to stop reaching.

    if hes so in touch with his self expression and individuality, whis is his music so in touch with the demands of the mainstream music industry ? he should think about that.

    too bad Wiz can't touch Prince, and could NEVER come close to shadowing Jimi's pinky nail. no hate on the dude, just bad comparisons
