Rihanna Wished her Fans a Happy 4/20 via Twitter.

Posted byBy Tracy | Published on: CommentsComments (1)

Yesterday, April 20, was the best holiday of the year for some. It was a day for those who truly appreciate the ganja, and by ganja we mean marijuana. Plenty of celebrities took to Twitter to revel in 4/20, from likely suspects like Snoop Lion to more under the radar stars. Keep reading to see all the tweets!

It isn’t a federal holiday, but many people — celebrities included — treat April 20 (or 4/2o) as if it’s a second Christmas. And because it fell on a Saturday this year, celebrations were on high (see what I did there?). Stars like Snoop Lion and Rihanna got in on the festivities, and wished all their fans a happy holiday via Twitter.

Other Celebs Tweet About 4/20

Snoop was throwing an all-out 4/20 bash, and was more active on Twitter during the holiday than he probably ever has been. “Happy holidays #snoop420,” was just one of many tweets he sent out. Rita Ora actually hung out with Snoop Lion — and she posted a picture of their 4/20 celebration on Instagram.

Rihanna, who has never been afraid to post pictures of herself indulging in the stuff on Instagram, tweeted, “#420 it’s a celebration bitches!! Thank you to all my ft. Lauderdale and Miami fam that came through…” Rihanna had a great 4/20 bash, and the King of Diamonds club in Miami, Fla. where she celebrated even baked her a marijuana plant cake, which she posted on Instagram.

Miley Cyrus, who has herself been gifted a Bob Marley cake in the past, simply tweeted, “Merry 4/20.”

Chris Brown sent out the short message, “420!” and Wyclef Jean posted, “Happy 420!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
