Wiz Khalifa is facing a significant legal challenge in Romania, where a court has upheld a nine-month prison sentence for the rapper stemming from a marijuana possession conviction. The Constanța Court of Appeal ruled on December 18, 2025, overturning a previous decision that had only imposed a fine of 3,000 Romanian lei (approximately $700).
Sources close to Wiz, born Khalifa Jamal Harris, indicate that the situation is still fluid, with his legal team actively working on an appeal to contest the ruling. According to court documents, the rapper was found guilty of “unlawful possession of dangerous drugs for personal use” after an incident following his performance at the Beach Please! Festival in Costinești, Romania, in July 2024. During the show, Wiz was seen smoking what appeared to be a joint while dancing to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “The Next Episode.” Local authorities later reported that he had in his possession 18.53 grams of cannabis.
Wiz has publicly expressed remorse for his actions, asserting that he did not intend to disrespect Romanian culture. After the incident, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to apologize, stating, “Last night’s show was amazing. I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”
Despite his legal troubles, Wiz Khalifa has remained open about his well-documented marijuana use. In a recent interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” he revealed that he typically smokes around 30 joints a day, which he humorously justified by saying, “I have things to do. I work out, I got kids, so I’m doing a lot of different things.” This staggering admission has led to discussions about the normalization of cannabis use in celebrity culture, even as legal repercussions loom.
As the situation develops, Wiz Khalifa’s case highlights the complexities of drug laws in different countries, particularly regarding cannabis. With Romania’s strict regulations on illegal substances, the outcome of his appeal could have significant implications for him and other artists navigating similar legal landscapes.
