Wiz Khalifa sentenced to 9 months in jail in Romania

Описание: Wiz Khalifa was recently sentenced to nine months in jail by a Romanian court for drug possession, but he is currently in the United States and has not been locked up to serve the sentence. It is unclear if Romanian authorities will seek his extradition.

Details of the Case
Incident: In July 2024, during his performance at the Beach, Please! Festival in Romania, Wiz Khalifa (real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz) was stopped by police after he allegedly smoked cannabis on stage and was found in possession of over 18 grams of cannabis.

Initial Ruling: A lower court initially issued a fine of 3,600 Romanian lei (around $830 USD).

Appeal and Sentence: Prosecutors appealed the decision, seeking a harsher punishment due to Romania's strict anti-drug laws. On December 18, 2025, the Constanța Court of Appeal sentenced him to nine months in prison for "possession of dangerous drugs, without right, for personal consumption". The decision is final under Romanian law.

Extradition Unlikely: Since Khalifa is a U.S. citizen and not a resident of Romania, legal experts suggest it is highly unlikely the U.S. will extradite him for this charge. He has not served any jail time related to this sentence and was reportedly spotted at a concert in the U.S. after the sentencing.

Apology: Shortly after his initial arrest in 2024, Khalifa posted on social media that he didn't mean any disrespect to the country and that authorities were respectful when they released him after a brief detention.
