Wiz Khalifa has praised Lil' Wayne's remix of his smash hit single, 'Black and Yellow'.


The rapper's unofficial Super Bowl-themed remix of Khalifa's track, retitled 'Green And Yellow', emerged online earlier this month.

In an interview with MTV News, Khalifa said he thought it was “real cool” than Lil' Wayne had re-imagined his song.

"Just seeing that he even heard the song, A, and then knew how to rap to it,” he said.

“Not saying that he wouldn't, but it was kind of wild, like, hearing Wayne flip how I rap, 'cause that's Lil Wayne. But it was cool."

'Black And Yellow' is taken from Khalifa's new album 'Rolling Papers', due to be released in March.
