Wheezy has worked very closely with Young Thug and Shad da God, the latter which he works up till this day. The basis of his stage name comes from his first name, Wesley and gotten the idea for "Weezy", but shortly changed it to his current name after realizing that it caused controversy of being affiliated with other rappers.
