“Memorial Day is about getting shit faced,” according to Pittsburgh rhymer Wiz Khalifa.

The tweet from Wiz, which was made Sunday (May 28), was unsurprisingly met with a great deal of slander on Twitter.

“When you get my age Memorial Day is about getting shit faced by the pool, eatin Bbq and not rememberin shit so…Yea,” Wiz Khalifa wrote.

In response to his tweet, a number of users attempted to school the rapper on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

“You are a real dumbass. If it wasn’t for our soldiers you wouldn’t have the freedom to do any of those things. They protect us from this,” responded MMA fighter/standup comedian Gerald Harris.

Wiz did go on to clarify his Memorial Day comment, explaining that he never meant to be “rude” with his words.

“Didn’t mean anything rude, that was just my way of saying sometime people rather focus on the good times than the bad,” he wrote.
