American rapper Wiz Khalifa is stirring controversy in the South American nation of Colombia, where he laid flowers at the tomb of cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar.
The rapper used his Instagram account to post several photos of him at Escobar’s tomb in Medellin. He played a concert in the city last week.
Colombians took to social media to express outrage.
Medellin’s Mayor Federico Gutierrez called the rapper a “scoundrel.” He suggested that instead of paying homage to Escobar, the performer should’ve brought flowers to Escobar’s thousands of victims killed during the height of Colombia’s drug violence in the late 1980s.
