Wiz Khalifa Day in Pittsburgh Sparks Controversy
12/14/2012

(CBS Local) Wednesday was declared Wiz Khalifa day in Pittsburgh, but not everyone was excited that the local rapper was being honored with his own day.

His unabashed endorsement of marijuana, including the DOPE hat he wore to City Hall, has some saying, maybe he's not the symbol the city should be endorsing.

NewsRadio 1020 KDKA's Mike Pintek spoke to Khalifa's DJ Bonics about the controversy. Listen to what he had to say here.
