Romanian Court Upholds Wiz Khalifa's Nine-Month Jail Sentence for Drug Possession

Romanian courts have upheld a nine-month jail sentence for American rapper Wiz Khalifa, rejecting his appeal against a December 2025 conviction for possession of over 18 grams of cannabis and consuming some on stage during the July 2024 Beach, Please! Festival in Constanta County. Initially fined in April 2025, prosecutors sought a harsher penalty, leading to the prison sentence. Romanian law criminalizes cannabis possession, with penalties including imprisonment or fines. It is unclear if extradition will be pursued, and Khalifa's representatives have not commented.
