He makes no secret of the habit, and even recently said in an interview: “There’s nothing you can do wrong when it comes to smoking weed.”

Now his mum Katie ‘Peachie’ Wimbush-Polk, 51, has spoken out – claiming she got the star hooked in his teenage years – even smoking with him before he went to school.

Speaking to The Sun, she claimed: “Before I went to work, before he went to school, it was our way of bonding.

“We would smoke together. He got his habit from his mother.”

She described how Wiz would allegedly smell the smoke when her and her friends were together, before adding: “When he got older, he would steal the marijuana butts I would leave, and smoke them.”

The rapper shot to fame when he married Kanye West’s ex Amber Rose, but the pair divorced last year after just one year of marriage.
