Wiz Khalifa Sentenced to 9 Months in Romania for Cannabis Possession
Wiz Khalifa, a famous rapper, was sentenced to nine months in prison in Romania for having and using cannabis on stage during a concert.
The court decided this to set an example, as Wiz Khalifa is a global celebrity.
Initially, he was supposed to pay a fine, but the court changed its mind.
Wiz Khalifa has not been in court and has not said much about it publicly.
His team is trying to appeal the sentence.
This happened because Romania has strict laws against having drugs like cannabis for personal use.
Wiz Khalifa was sentenced to nine months in prison in Romania for cannabis possession and use on stage during a concert.
The court overturned an earlier decision that would have imposed only a fine of about $830.
Wiz Khalifa was not present in court and has not publicly commented on the sentence beyond an initial tweet.
His team is in the process of filing an appeal against the sentence.
The ruling was issued on December 18, 2025, and is based on Romania’s law on the unlawful possession of dangerous drugs for personal use, with the court aiming to set an example.
