Wiz Khalifa<\/a> is mourning the loss of his father.<\/p>\n

On Friday (Feb. 13), the 38-year-old rapper took to social media to share an emotional tribute following the death of his dad, Laurence W. Thomaz. He was 63, according to TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday my father decided not to wake up,\u201d Wiz wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cI will always love him, miss him and be [grateful] for the things he taught me. He went out like a true yogi, at peace and on his own time. I love you forever Laurence W. Thomaz.\u201d <\/p>\n

The \u201cBlack and Yellow\u201d artist continued, \u201cMy father\u2019s passing was sudden but seeing how many people love and respected him makes happy and i know he\u2019s proud that he left a positive impact on this earth. Literally all he ever wanted.\u201d <\/p>\n

Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, also shared several throwback photos on his Instagram Story<\/a>. One childhood snapshot showed his father helping him on a swing, captioned, \u201cLove you big guy.\u201d Another image featured a young Wiz with his dad and what appears to be his sibling, Dorien \u201cLala\u201d Thomaz, who died in 2017<\/a>. \u201cMy boy was smooth,\u201d Wiz wrote alongside the photo, referring to his father. Another caption on the photo read, \u201cYou and La La are together again,\u201d along with a praying hands emoji. <\/p>\n

Wiz was reportedly close to his dad, who was a former member of the military. The rapper previously told NME<\/em><\/a> that Thomaz opened a recording studio in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when he was a kid, which helped lay the foundation for his future. <\/p>\n

\u201cI lived in that studio. And that\u2019s what turned me into who I am today,\u201d the rapper told the publication in 2016.<\/p>\n

Khalifa wrote on X<\/a> that his last conversation with his dad \u201cwas him telling me how proud of me he was for the movie i was in and I promised him i would do more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hip-hop star\u2019s most notable acting role was co-starring with Snoop Dogg in the 2012 stoner comedy Mac & Devin Go to High School<\/em>, where Wiz played the character Devin Overstreet. The movie\u2019s soundtrack featured \u201cYoung, Wild & Free,\u201d with Bruno Mars, which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.<\/p>\n

Wiz also thanked those who shared their condolences for his father\u2019s passing. \u201cIt really means a lot in this tough time and is helping me feel better,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
