Wiz Khalifa\u00a0was sentenced by a court in\u00a0Romania<\/a><\/span>\u00a0on Thursday to nine months in jail for drug possession after taking part in a music festival last year\u00a0in the Eastern European country.<\/p>\n The 38-year-old rapper – who has\u00a0previously been open about smoking weed<\/a><\/span>\u00a0– had been\u00a0stopped by Romanian police in July 2024 after allegedly smoking cannabis on stage at the Beach, Please! Festival in Costinesti.<\/p>\n Prosecutors said the rapper – whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz – was found in possession of more than 18 grams of cannabis, and that he consumed some on stage.<\/p>\n The Constanta Court of Appeal handed down the sentence after Khalifa was convicted of “possession of dangerous drugs, without right, for personal consumption,” per Romania’s national news agency,\u00a0Agerpres<\/a>.<\/p>\n The decision – which is final – came after a lower court in Constanta County in April issued Khalifa a criminal fine of 3,600 lei ($830) for “illegal possession of dangerous drugs,” but prosecutors appealed the court’s decision and sought a higher sentence.<\/p>\n Daily Mail has reached out to Khalifa’s reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n Romania has some of the harsher drugs laws in Europe. Possession of cannabis for personal use is criminalized and can result in a prison sentence of between three months and two years, or a fine.<\/p>\n It isn’t clear whether Romanian authorities will seek to file an extradition request, since Khalifa is a U.S. citizen and doesn’t reside in Romania.<\/p>\n
