Wiz Khalifa, the rapper and Pittsburgh native, made headlines when he threw out the first pitch at the Pittsburgh Pirates game on Monday night.

But he wasn’t just high on life, he was also high on shrooms.

How Wiz Khalifa Prepared for His First Pitch

Before taking the mound at PNC Park, Wiz Khalifa tweeted that he was going to get “stoned af” and “shroomed out” before throwing the baseball.

He said that “shroomed out throwin a baseball is crazy”.

He also posted a picture of his stash and a bag of Cracker Jacks.

The event was promoted across MLB’s social platforms, as Wiz Khalifa remains a beloved figure in Pennsylvania years past his chart-conquering prime.

He wore a Pirates jersey for the occasion and waved to the crowd.

How Wiz Khalifa Performed His First Pitch

For what Wiz Khalifa advertised his first pitch to be, the offering wasn’t awful.

It crossed home plate in the left-handed hitter’s batters’ box but did not need a bounce to arrive, although Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller struggled to reel it in.

Some people may think that he was inspired by former Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis, who famously threw a no-hitter while on LSD in 1970.

However, some people may also criticize him for promoting drug use and disrespecting the game of baseball.

How Wiz Khalifa’s First Pitch Affected the Pirates Game

Despite his best efforts, Wiz Khalifa’s first pitch did not seem to have led to any Pirates success, as they lost to the Cleveland Guardians, 11-0, on Monday.

After a scorching hot start that saw the team take control of the NL Central, Pittsburgh has slowed down and is now 41-53, placing them out of contention for the division and likely the wild-card race as well.

This is not Wiz Khalifa’s first time causing trouble when he’s been asked to throw out the first pitch.

In 2017, he mimicked puffing and passing a joint before throwing out the first pitch at PNC Park, prompting backlash from MLB.

Wiz Khalifa is currently on tour with 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.
