Wiz Khalifa Sentenced to 9 Months in Romania Over Marijuana Case
American rapper faces jail term after prosecutors overturn earlier fine linked to 2024 festival incident.
Overview
American rapper Wiz Khalifa has reportedly been sentenced to nine months in prison in Romania following a marijuana possession case connected to his 2024 visit to the country.
According to Romanian media outlet Cancan, the Constanศa Court of Appeal delivered the ruling on Thursday, December 18, after prosecutors appealed an earlier decision that only fined the rapper.
What Led to the Case
The case dates back to July 2024, when Wiz Khalifa performed at the Beach, Please! Festival in Costineศti. During the show, he was allegedly seen smoking marijuana on stage.
Romanian police briefly detained him after the performance and reportedly found more than 18 grams of marijuana in his possession. Romania has strict drug laws, and even small amounts meant for personal use can attract serious punishment.
From Fine to Prison Sentence
At first, Wiz Khalifa was fined 3,000 lei (about $700) and released without spending time in custody. However, prosecutors argued the punishment was too light and appealed the ruling.
