Although the headline might be alarming, don’t worry. It was Wiz Khalifa’s son’s 13th birthday. So, for audaciously living another year, Sebastian had to swallow 13 punches to the stomach.
The singer posted the video to his Instagram story, which was reposted by Daily Loud. In the video, you can see Wiz Khalifa with a boxing glove on, and Sebastian against the wall.
The 13 punches were closer to taps. I mean, I’m sure Wiz Khalifa didn’t want to leave his son grasping his rib cage in agony. Especially on his birthday of all days.
Punches to the stomach aren’t welcome, no matter the intent, and Sebastian was left holding his chest afterwards, but with a small smile.
The birthday tradition of getting punches on your birthday for every day you’re alive is a big thing here in the U.K., so it’s nice to see the fun being celebrated across the pond.
Despite Sebastian’s pleas for mercy, Wiz Khalifa sternly said, “Take it like a G, you’re 13 years old.” He also gave Sebastian sage advice between the blows, telling him to strengthen his abs and breathe out with each punch. Advice that he seemed better for following.
