    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”

    Meanwhile, Sebastian got the taste of more star treatment earlier this year when he was given the chance to meet Taylor Swift.

    Wiz captured the moment their little boy met the pop megastar on video, in which he said: "[Sebastian's] so excited right now. T
