Wiz Khalifa Upsets Colombian People After Visiting Pablo Escobar

Gutierrez stated that Wiz Khalifa's decision to visit Pablo Escobar's grave is not an action they expected, since the drug kingpin killed thousands of people in the past. The Mayor even compared Escobar with Adolf Hitler, who killed many people when he was reigning in Germany.

“Instead of bringing flowers to Pablo Escobar’s tomb, this guy should have brought flowers to the graves of all the victims killed by drug trafficking, like any normal person would have done,” the Mayor said. “Who goes to Germany, for example, and talks about the whole Hitler period? You would go straight to jail.”
