American rapper and singer-songwriter, Wiz Khalifa has explained why he believes people should date for at least 10 years before getting married.
According to the father of two, dating for at least a decade would help couples to know themselves and their families better before popping the big question.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast, Wiz said, “People should date for 10 years before getting married because that’s long enough to know the person, their family, and who you’re going to deal with when you move in together.”
When asked whether couples should cohabit before marriage or wait until after they are wed, the 37-year-old said: “It depends on the situation and the circumstances. Some people move in right away and still need time to figure it out.
Wiz Khalifa’s discography consists of seven studio albums, one compilation album, one soundtrack album, three extended plays (EP), two collaborative albums, 84 singles (including 44 as a featured artist), seventeen promotional singles, twenty-one mixtapes, and 82 music videos.
After signing to the Pittsburgh-based independent label Rostrum Records as a teenager, Khalifa released his first mixtape Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, and his first studio album, Show and Prove (2006).
Following the release of Show and Prove, Warner Bros. Records signed Khalifa in 2007 as part of a joint deal with Rostrum. At Warner, Khalifa released the singles “Youngin’ on His Grind” and “Say Yeah”. The latter became his first song to appear on a Billboard chart, peaking at number 20 on the US Hot Rap Songs.
