Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg have translated their on-screen high school personas in “Mac & Devin Go to High School” into real life by helping to fund education in Pittsburgh.
The two Hip-Hop heavyweights joined forces with Pat McAfee, a Pittsburgh-born sports analyst and entertainer, to support Pittsburgh Public Schools.
The trio dropped a $50,000 donation to help fund local public schools.
“This one-time donation not only reflects a shared belief in the potential of our students, but also reinforces the power and impact of community,” said Pittsburgh Public Schools media manager Portia Martin.
The funds will be allocated toward district-wide initiatives and programs designed to support the city’s diverse student population.
Pittsburgh Public Schools serves roughly 20,000 students and is the second-largest district in Pennsylvania. According to district data, 78.6% of students are economically disadvantaged, and more than 50 languages are spoken across its campuses.
Wiz Khalifa, a Pittsburgh native, has long celebrated his hometown roots through music and philanthropy.
His connection with Snoop Dogg began over a decade ago when Snoop’s son introduced him to Wiz’s music.
That bond evolved into collaborations, tours and their 2012 stoner comedy film Mac & Devin Go to High School has become a cult favorite among Hip-Hop fans.
Their friendship has always been built on mutual respect and the donation is the latest example of their commitment to giving back.
