Last night Wiz Khalifa released the cover for his upcoming album, O.N.I.F.C. to mixed reviews. Seconds after tweeting the cover out to his fans, twitter blew up with many initially in a state of shock:

Twitter users were quick to make humorous comparisons to Cruella Deville, Jimi Hendrix, Rick James, and even a “broke Kanye”:

Wiz Khalifa wants to be Jimi Hendrix , Nicki Minaj wants to be Lil Kim and Drake wants to be Aaliyah.

At the end of the day, what’s done is done. Wiz is making millions so who are we to criticize. Regardless of the actual cover, Wiz will have plenty of people talking about him this week, and that’s really what’s most important:
That Wiz cover went platinum on Instagram.
