MLB fans react to Wiz Khalifa's stoned first pitch during Pirates game: "Chaneling his inner Doc Ellis"

Before the Pittsburgh Pirates' series opener against the Cleveland Guardians at PNC Park, Khalifa, who grew up in Pittsburgh, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. As the rapper continues to be a revered figure in Pennsylvania years after his chart-topping peak, the event was dutifully advertised across MLB's social media platforms.

Although that isn't nearly as bizarre as the rumor that Ellis once threw a no-hitter while high on LSD in 1970, Khalifa has undoubtedly written another intriguing page in Pittsburgh's lengthy and peculiar baseball history. Cleveland Guardians v Pittsburgh PiratesWiz Khalifa joined with Warner Bros. Records in 2007 after releasing his debut album, 'Show and Prove', in 2006. In 2008, after receiving attention on urban radio and appearing on the Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot Rap Tracks charts, his Eurodance-inspired song 'Say Yeah' became his first modest hit. Wiz Khalifa is well known for his heavy cannabis use, having even launched his own cannabis brand, Khalifa Kush in 2016.
