That night, with stars like Bizarrap, Young Miko and Tokischa also in attendance, Duki stood out. Known for his high-energy performances and sharp lyrics, Duki seized the chance to meet his idol. "When I was at the festival, Duki came by my dressing room," Wiz recalled. "We hung out, smoked a bit, and vibed."

Duki’s tweet on the encounter perfectly captured the magic of the moment: “No tenía muchos sueños, planteados realmente, pero si había uno, era fumarme Ezequiel con Wiz," which translates to: "I didn't have many dreams set in stone, but smoking a joint with Wiz was one of them." The tweet struck a chord with fans, marking a high point for both artists that night.

Wiz's Impressions Of Duki

Wiz was impressed by the control that artists like Duki have over the Latin music scene. "They had it on lockdown there," Wiz said. "They took me out to eat, we hit up a club—it was great to see artists owning the scene like that. I respect that a lot."

What started as a casual meet-up turned into a night filled with stimulating conversations, shared experiences, and, of course, smoking big joints. "Yeah, we smoked some big joints down there," Wiz laughed. "In Puerto Rico, I felt like rolling my own. Usually, I stick to pre-rolls because I'm always on the move, but there, I had to roll some fat joints."

Sauce Boyz Fest turned out to be the setting for an iconic moment between two artists from different corners of the world. Social media was flooded with images of Wiz and Duki together, captioned "Wake Up & Bake Up," as fans celebrated the two icons.

Wiz's Latin Connection

Wiz Khalifa's connection to Latin America runs deep, stretching beyond music. His influence spans the cannabis industry, with his brand, Khalifa Kush, making waves worldwide. Reflecting on his ties to the region, Wiz expressed his appreciation for Latin American fans. "Brazil, for sure, is one of my favorite spots. The love for my music there is unreal. Puerto Rico is another place I need to get back to. And I'll say the Dominican Republic."

Even though cannabis regulations in Argentina are stricter than in countries like Uruguay, Wiz appreciates the dedication of his Argentine fans. "It's not that y'all don't have weed in Argentina—it's just hard to get. But when you do, you really appreciate it," he added with a knowing grin.

The encounter between Wiz Khalifa and Duki at Sauce Boyz Fest was a genuine connection formed through music and cannabis. For Duki, it was the culmination of a dream he’d nurtured for years. For Wiz, it was another authentic moment in his journey of building connections through shared passions. And for the fans, it was a night to remember—a symbol of unity between two worlds, brought together by the universal language of music and good vibes.
