During his UStream interview, Drake talked up on the possibility of including Wiz Khalifa on his upcoming tour “Light Dreams And Nightmares.” However, due to the Pittsburgh MC’s “Waken Baken” tour starting around at the same time, the Pittsburgh emcee had to decline.

In his interview with XXL Mag, Wiz also mentioned having to build his status up first in order to then think about touring and collaborating with anybody else, quoted to saying: “No disrespect to [Drake] or anybody else who might wanna see me do some more collaborative things, but to keep building and keep my brand as strong as what it is, I gotta keep focusing on what it is. This is my first tour that I got coming up, the Waken Baken Tour. I gotta at least kick that off and make that what it is so we can do 10 more.”

Khalifa still holds love for the Canadian-based MC however, saying he’s up for the idea of making special appearances and hopefully tour off together one day when he earns an equal amount to what Drake has.

“Just the fact of cuz even extending his hand and me being on his radar is tight to me. It just lets me know that I’m doing what I need to be doing as far as staying relevant and staying poppin’,” Khalifa said. “But I think to keep me poppin’ and keep me relevant I gotta stay building on top of what I’m doing and what I been doing.”

“I was looking on the Internet and [saw] that [Drake] made $10 million this year,” Khalifa said. “So maybe when I make $10 million, then we can tour.”

“We can do like some special dates or some surprise guest-type thing, but I need 10 mil too, Drake.” Khalifa said, jokingly towards the Toronto lyricist. Oh them rappers and their money humour.
