“I didn’t have many dreams set in stone, but smoking a joint with Wiz was one of them,” tweeted Duki, Argentina’s biggest rap export, after an unforgettable night at the Sauce Boyz Fest in Puerto Rico.
For Duki, this wasn’t just another festival—it was the night one of his wildest dreams came true: sharing a joint with Wiz Khalifa, hip-hop and cannabis icon.
Wiz Meets Duki: The Backstory
In an interview about the global expansion of his Khalifa Kush brand, Wiz reflected on meeting Duki during the Sauce Boyz Fest, a massive Latin urban music event helmed by Eladio Carrión.
“I was in Puerto Rico for the festival,” Wiz told Benzinga Cannabis. “One of my assistants is really tapped into the Latin music scene. He got me linked with all these artists, producers, YouTubers, DJs—everyone.”
The night brought together stars like Bizarrap, Young Miko and Tokischa—but it was Duki, known for his sharp lyrics and high-energy shows, who stood out. “When I was at the festival, Duki came by my dressing room,” Wiz recalled. “We hung out, smoked a bit, and vibed.”
Duki’s tweet summed it up: “No tenía muchos sueños planteados realmente, pero si había uno, era fumarme Ezequiel con Wiz”—translation: “I didn’t have many dreams set in stone, but smoking a joint with Wiz was one of them.”
The tweet went viral among fans, marking a high point for both artists.
Wiz’s Impressions Of Duki
Wiz came away impressed with the Latin music scene’s grip on culture. “They had it on lockdown there,” he said. “They took me out to eat, we hit up a club—it was great to see artists owning the scene like that. I respect that a lot.”
The two artists connected over more than music. “Yeah, we smoked some big joints down there,” Wiz laughed. “In Puerto Rico, I felt like rolling my own. Usually, I stick to pre-rolls because I’m always on the move, but there, I had to roll some fat joints.”
Photos of Wiz and Duki together spread fast on social media, many captioned “Wake Up & Bake Up.” Fans celebrated the moment as a cultural crossover: Argentina’s biggest rapper meeting one of weed culture’s most iconic artists.
Wiz’s Connection To Latin America
Wiz’s love for Latin America runs deep. Beyond music, his cannabis brand Khalifa Kush is expanding worldwide. Reflecting on his ties to the region, Wiz praised his fanbases: “Brazil, for sure, is one of my favorite spots. The love for my music there is unreal. Puerto Rico is another place I need to get back to. And I’ll say the Dominican Republic.”
Even Argentina’s stricter cannabis laws haven’t dulled his appreciation for fans there. “It’s not that y’all don’t have weed in Argentina—it’s just hard to get. But when you do, you really appreciate it,” Wiz said with a grin.
For Duki, this was more than a meet-and-greet—it was the culmination of a dream rooted in music and weed culture. For Wiz, it was another real moment in a career built on authentic connections. And for fans, it was a reminder of how cannabis bridges cultures, continents, and generations.
