PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh City Council has declared Wednesday Wiz Khalifa Day in honor of the pot-promoting rapper who graduated from a city high school and will be performing that night at Consol Energy Center.

The 25-year-old who frequently raps about smoking marijuana appreciated being on hand for Tuesday’s proclamation and says, “It means a lot to me, being a kid in Pittsburgh and riding buses, and going to school and just loving Pittsburgh so much.”
