MGK posted on Instagram several videos showing appreciation for the holiday.
In one post he wrote, “i used to sell mixtapes on this street..?????? thank you to @mayorbibb and the city of Cleveland for allowing this to happen and the fans who traveled from around the world to experience this holiday with us.”
The rapper/rocker has already spent time in his hometown this week. According to a press release, he took part in several charity events including a block party to support the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
This isn’t Cleveland’s first time honoring MGK for his contributions to the city. In 2022, Mayor Justin Bibb handed the musician a signed document making the day officials in front of an adoring crowd outside of the MGK-owned 27 Club Coffee downtown.
