So, why didn't Wiz Khalifia do a SA press conference?

When you've got international stars in the country, it's only natural to assume they'd do a press conference.

But when it's Wiz Khalifia, there's no denying there might be a few concerns... like the fact the he openly smokes marijuana.

Sources have revealed that officials handling the Castle Lite Extra Cold music fest were too scared to let Wiz do a press conference, because 'all he wanted to do was speak about weed.' "It could be very damaging to the brand and nobody wanted to take the chance."

The official line was that Wiz was 'busy with rehearsals' but we don't buy it.

Either way, he gave a rocking performance on the big day.

Damage avoided.
