The rapper wore a Pirates jersey for the occasion and took a few moments to wave to the crowd. Along with a photo of his stash, Khalifa also snapped a photo of himself enjoying a bag of Cracker Jacks post-pitch.

Khalifa appeared to take inspiration for former Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis, who threw a no-hitter while on LSD in 1970.
In March, Khalifa played the role of Parliament-Funkadelic’s George Clinton in Timothy Scott Bogart’s film Spinning Gold, which offers a dramatized retelling of Scott’s father Neil Bogart building Casablanca Records.
This month, Khalifa embarked on the High School Reunion Tour alongside Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, Warren G, and Berner. The tour is a celebration of Snoop Dogg’s legendary 30-year career under Death Row Records. His debut album “Doggystyle” was released under the label in 1993, and in February 2022, he acquired Death Row Records.
