O.N.I.F.C. Revealed by Wiz Khalifa
February 6th, 2012 | By Safiyyah
Wiz Khalifa is releasing his sophomore LP entitled, “O.N.I.F.C.”, where he explains what the acronym stood for, as many fans were puzzled by it.
The Pittsburgh rapper revealed that the title of his LP was an acronym for “Only N***a in First Class”.
“I’m just going to tell you what [O.N.I.F.C.] – it’s the Only N[igga] In First Class. It’s inspired by Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. When he dropped that, I felt like that sounded so strong and it really meant something and it had the n-word in it. I wanted to figure out something [along those lines] that was me, too…I said it on one of my songs, like, ‘Ain’t it funny when time pass?/Only n***a in first class,’ and I was just talking about me being a young, rich dude and being black,” Khalifa explained at an interview with MTV’S Sway.
He said that although the original was “Only N***a in First Class”, the edited version will be “One Night in First Class”. Khalifa also said that he thought of the title during an instance when the flight crew slightly doubted the appearance of a young black man flying with priority seating.
Khalifa attacked that instance when he plainly said, “It looks crazy to [the workers on an airplane] when I walk up to them and I show them a [first class] ticket, or I’m going to priority seating and they’re like, ‘You sure?’ It’s kind of like that feeling – it’s a good feeling, but it’s like it’s a bad feeling, like ‘Damn, why y’all even feel like that about me?’ When I look around and I see people in first class and they’re getting they’re dinners a little quicker than mine or they’re looking at me or I don’t get the pillow or extra [treatment] – or I get more because they know that I’m supposed to be there, so it’s like the positives and the negatives.”
