Roll up! Suited Wiz Khalifa successfully negotiates LAX on his hoverboard... and DOESN'T get tackled by cops this time
What a difference a bit of spit and polish makes.
Wiz Khalifa rode his beloved golden hoverboard through LAX unmolested on Friday, six days after getting tackled by a team cops for doing the same thing.
The only difference in the two incidents appeared to be that the 27-year-old was wearing a suit this time.

Safe! Wiz Khalifa rode his beloved hoverboard through LAX unmolested on Friday, six days after getting tackled by a team cops for doing the same thing
The rapper looked dapper in a light grey pinstripe jacket and trousers over a this sweatshirt, with a pair of white flat-sole trainers, and carried a backpack over his shoulder.
He had all the usual gold accessories around his neck, wrists and fingers, but his most eye-catching piece of bling was his golden IO Hawk.
Wiz nonchalantly texted on his phone as he rode, even managing at one stage to go up an escalator on board, and nobody said a thing to him.

It was far different story last Saturday when the Black And Yellow hitmaker was taken down and cuffed at the same airport for refusing to get off his the scooter.
Wiz, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, took to Instagram to share a video of the incident with several cops standing over him as he laid face down with his arms behind his back.
'3 cops yell stop resisting. Only thing to do is let em know. I'm not resisting, I'm doin what I want', he wrote in the caption.

In the actual clip, the officials are yelling at Wiz to 'stop resisting' while Wiz keeps on with his usual calm demeanor and explains: 'I'm not resisting sir. I'm not resisting. I'm not resisting sir.'
The rapper seems to be quite attached to the device as he was also spotted riding it through the airport the Tuesday before.
Wiz also went on a rant on Twitter Saturday by posting a photo, video and a few tweets aimed at how law enforcement handled the situation.

Not so smooth: But it was far different story last Saturday when the Black And Yellow hitmaker was taken down and cuffed at the same airport for refusing to get off his the scooter
He posted another clip of the first confrontation with police as he was seemingly stopped while standing on his hoverboard.
The ex of Amber Rose could be heard saying: 'You can't do nothing anyway. What're you going to do put me into jail because I'm not going to listen to what you say?
'You can't do nothing, you can talk and have all the conversations that you want to. You can end up on TMZ. You guys could be as famous as you want to be.'
Ouch: Wiz posted this video on Instagram on Saturday of him being taken down and cuffed at LAX Airport
Steadfast: Wiz could be seen telling the police that they cannot do anything to him
He captioned the tense clip: 'All because I didn't want to ditch the technogy everyone will be using in the next 6 months.'
This is not Wiz's first run-in with the law as he previously was arrested in November 2010 and May of last year with charges that both had to do with marijuana possession.
He made light of his past troubles and seemed to have a good sense of humour by doing so as he tweeted: 'Haven't been slammed and cuffed in a while. That was fun.'
As of now, Wiz is in the midst of world tour, which will continue on August 21 at Tampere, Finland
Sense of humour: He seemingly shed light on previous run-ins with the law with this tweet
