9 months for less than 20 g’s is diabolical.
Yeah, his life is over now.
I understand that when you go to another country you have to respect their laws no matter how dumb they may be, but 9 months for smoking weed is kind of insane.
My dumb ass read the title as “Mia Khalifa Put on …” 🤦🏼♂️
Our drug enforcement is abysmal, but this one is well deserved. He should sue whoever told him it was ok, no offence but you can hold off on smoking a join during a concert
How long did it take them to arrest Andre Tate for human trafficking again ?
Not even sure they would have done it without the backlash. Tate went there in the first place because he thought it was a place where he could get away with it.
Compare that to smoking 20g of weed.
American rapper Wiz Khalifa has been placed on the Romanian Police’s wanted persons list after Romanian courts handed him a final nine-month prison sentence for unlawful possession of risk-category drugs for personal use.

The artist appears on the police website under the name Thomaz Cameron Jibril, a U.S. citizen born on September 8, 1987. According to the Romanian Police listing, the reason for the alert is an enforcement warrant for a prison sentence related to drug offences.
The case stems from an incident in July 2024, during the “Beach, Please!” festival in Costinești, on Romania’s Black Sea coast, where the rapper allegedly smoked cannabis on stage. Investigators later established that he was in possession of 18.53 grams of cannabis and a cigarette containing the same substance.
In the first instance, the Constanța Tribunal sentenced Wiz Khalifa to a criminal fine of 3,600 lei. However, prosecutors from Romania’s anti-organized crime directorate, DIICOT, challenged the ruling. The Constanța Court of Appeal upheld the appeal and replaced the fine with a nine-month prison sentence, in a decision issued on December 18, 2025.
The artist later attempted to overturn the ruling, but Romania’s High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected his appeal in cassation this spring. **The High Court’s decision was issued on May 7, 2026, making the conviction final.**
# Wiz Khalifa failed to report to serve his sentence
After the conviction became final, Wiz Khalifa did not report to serve his nine-month sentence. As a result, Romanian authorities placed him on the wanted persons list.
Romania may now seek to enforce the warrant through international judicial cooperation mechanisms. If the rapper enters a European Union member state, Romanian authorities could request his surrender through a European arrest warrant. Outside the EU, extradition procedures or Interpol instruments may be used.
On the Romanian Police website, the offence is listed as a drug-related crime. The description states that he was sentenced to nine months in prison for unlawful possession of risk-category drugs for personal use.
Under Romania’s Law 143/2000, unlawful possession of risk-category drugs for personal use is punishable by three months to two years in prison or a fine. For high-risk drugs, the penalty is higher, ranging from six months to three years in prison.
Following the 2024 incident, Wiz Khalifa publicly said he had not intended to disrespect Romania and stated that he would not repeat the gesture.
This is stupid. I don’t smoke and I don’t listen to hip hop, but if he drank liquor on stage nobody should have batted an eye. We’re gonna pretend weed is anything different? Give over.
The simpage for this guy is ridiculous. Maybe he should simply not break laws in foreign countries
Oh no…his career in Romania is over now!
Oh no. Anyway.
C’mon people. He always behaves like the ‚entitled‘ idiot he obviously is. He is not the only one amongst his peers to feel exempt from the rules that apply to everyone else, after all, claiming to be a victim of society’s „repression“ is part and parcel of the privileged special class of individuals that share his *mela(s)*tonin…
I wonder for what is this smoke screen. What do they want to hide from the public?
Wiz Khalifa is a huge promoter and hero here in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania–a state Europeans often mistake for Transylvania, which is in Romania.
Speaking as someone who is very old, very white, and despises hiphop the fact that Wiz is black and foreign appears to be an obvious factor in this case. Off to ECHR. Free Wiz! ✊
Meanwhile, hottie Alexandra Capitanescu sang „Choke Me“ last week at Eurovision. In combination with the Tate fiasco and Vlad the Impaler, one may be forgiven for thinking that Romania is a country of BDSM-loving freaks.
I don’t think Trump is going to fight to bail him out. The last time Trump intervened to help out a rapper, A$AP Rocky. He did it because he was Persuaded to do so by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West(Pre Nazi Phase).
