Snoop Dogg has been in small town Nova Scotia to film with Trailer Park Boys and the locals are very excited. They're crowding around the set to get a look at the rapper. One young man in particular stood out from the crowd.
We dubbed him "Weed Kid."
His name is Ben Baker and he's 21 years-old, which technically makes him a Weedadult. He's getting tons of love.
#WeedKid making my town proud.
Local news media are all over him. Weed Kid is a pro at giving interviews.
#Truro's #weedkid inspired plenty of memes yesterday, but only @GlobalAlexH got the interview. http://t.co/acwAgOo8Pb
Yup, that happened. #weedkid http://t.co/k6J3zEqOPV
He rapped "Gin and Juice" for Global News.
Here's Weed Kid in his local paper, looking hella fresh.
In a follow up story, the Truro Daily News reported that "Canada has a new 'hero' and his name is Ben Baker. But you might know him better by a different name."
Baker told the paper:
They call me the Weed Kid, I guess, but me, myself, I'm just a 21-year-old that was born and raised in Truro. I'm just like everyone else I guess. I just got a little more attention.
Weed Kid didn't get to meet Snoop, but he did hang with some Trailer Park Boys cast members. They love him, too.
I LOVE #WeedKid SO MUCH https://t.co/aLUXHJK7KK

#WeedKid is still waiting for his chance to meet @SnoopDogg. #WeedKidMeetSnoop, anyone? http://t.co/m2EnSpRSXa
