Khalifa is a strategic partner for the Knights and will be the featured personality for the philanthropic initiatives by the team.

For the July 11 event, the “Sucker for Pain” rapper – a Pittsburgh native - will be joined by Twitch streamer Austin (formerly “RajjPatel”), as well as members of Khalifa’s artist collective, Taylor Gang.
