Rapper Wiz Khalifa wants his song "Black and Yellow" to be the Steelers' anthem

[Dpantherman]

This is actually old news, but I just stumbled across it.

Way back in July — right around the same time NFL teams were just starting training camp — Wiz Khalifa dropped by MTV News' RapFix Live to announce that he was signing to Atlantic Records, and tease some of the songs he'd be releasing over the next several months ... one of which was particularly close to his heart.

Wiz hails from Pittsburgh, and as such, he grew up a die-hard Steelers fan. And even though the NFL season was still some two months away, he had already prepped a song called "Black and Yellow" — after the team's menacing color scheme — which he hoped would become the de facto anthem for his hometown squad.

"We got two or three records that we're tossing around; it's just the order of which ones we're gonna put out," Wiz explained. "Right now, there's one that's gonna be real big for Pittsburgh. It's gonna be the Steelers' anthem: It's called 'Black and Yellow.' "

It's definitely an anthem for both the Steelers and the Steel City, and with star Steelers' QB Ben Roethlisberger set to rejoin the team this weekend (after a four-game suspension following an allegation of sexual assault), Wiz's timing couldn't have been better. We bet you'll be hearing "Black and Yellow" for the remainder of the 2010 season ... and possibly beyond.

My bro at ECU was telling me about this the other day

Wiz Khalifa was arrested on drug charges Monday night in Greenville, North Carolina, where he had just performed at East Carolina University. Officers reportedly took the rapper into custody after searching his tour bus.

On Tuesday morning (November 9), a spokesperson for the Pitt County Detention Center confirmed to MTV News that Khalifa (born Cameron Thomaz), 22, was booked into the jail at around 1:30 a.m. He posted $300,000 bail and was released from detention at around 8 a.m. ET.

The "Black and Yellow" rapper was charged with a felony count of trafficking in marijuana, a felony count of maintaining a dwelling/vehicle/place for sale or storage of marijuana and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. Nine other people were arrested along with Khalifa on the same charges and were still in jail at press time.

Khalifa, who was named MTV News' "Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010" and recently signed a multi-album deal with Atlantic Records, was appearing on the campus as part of his Waken Baken Tour 2010. He boasted in a recent interview about a $10,000-a-month weed habit and launched his own brand of rolling papers last month.

"Smoke outs Greeneville, nc tonight. Fall thru wit ur finest plant life," he tweeted, just hours before his arrest.

Pal Curren$y posted a video purported to show police searching the bus and taking Khalifa away in handcuffs as fans scream obscenities at them. He later tweeted, "They ran on lil bruh's bus ...... I'm finna smoke this telly down in his honor ...... that's them bull chips mann .... Legalize it."

At press time, a spokesperson for the ECU police and a spokesperson for Khalifa could not be reached for comment for details about the arrest.

Give him some time and he'll have a new tune out, "Black and Hard," that will lament his life behind bars and in front of Bubba....
