US EditionWiz Khalifa sentenced to nine months jail in Romania
- On Thursday, the Constanţa Court of Appeal upheld prosecutors' appeal, sentencing American rapper Wiz Khalifa to nine months in jail over his 2024 drug arrest.
- The case stems from a July 2024 performance at the Beach, Please! festival in Costineşti, Constanţa County, Romania, where Khalifa lit and smoked a joint on stage.
- Romanian police found 18 grams of cannabis after the show, and a lower court decision in April fined Khalifa before Constanţa County prosecutors appealed seeking a custodial sentence.
- Khalifa's legal team says it will appeal the decision, and it is unclear whether Romanian authorities will seek extradition or when Wiz Khalifa might be ordered to prison.
- Under Romanian law, possession can carry three months to two years or a fine, and incarceration may reach 10 years; Khalifa is known for smoking marijuana at concerts.
