US rapper Wiz Khalifa has been sentenced by a Romanian court to nine months in jail for drug possession. The 38-year-old Pittsburgh artist was stopped by police in July 2024 after allegedly smoking cannabis on stage at the Beach, Please! Festival in Romania. Prosecutors said he was found with over 18 grams of cannabis and consumed some while performing. This is not the first time Khalifa has faced legal issues; a lower court had initially fined him $830 for possession of dangerous drugs. With harsher laws against drug possession in Europe, it’s unclear whether authorities will seek an extradition request since he’s a US citizen.
