    Wiz Khalifa has hit back at critics who slammed him for letting his son ride the bus to school

    The 30-year-old rapper posted on social media last week to gush over his five-year-old son Sebastian - whom he has with ex Amber Rose - as he headed to his first day of school, and said the tot “rode the bus and everything”
