Wiz Khalifa was busted for illegal drug possession in Romania this weekend.
Black and Yellow rapper Wiz Khalifa was busted for illegal drug possession in Romania this weekend after lighting up a “big a-- joint” on stage at a popular music event.
RadarOnline.com can reveal Khalifa, 36, was arrested early Sunday morning in Costinesti while headlining the Beach, Please! festival.
Khalifa, 36, was arrested early Sunday morning in Costinesti while headlining the "Beach, Please!" music festival.
The Romanian anti-organized crime prosecutors organization DIICOT confirmed: “During a performance at a music festival held in the resort of Costinesti, the accused was found to have possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis and to have consumed (onstage) another quantity in the form of a handmade cigarette.”
An insider confirmed Khalifa – real name Cameron Thomaz – was arrested, charged, and taken for questioning immediately after the incident unfolded. He was later released from custody.
Marijuana is considered a “risk drug” in Romania and Khalifa could be sentenced to up to ten years in prison if convicted, according to PEOPLE.
The See You Soon rapper took to X shortly after his release to apologize for the incident. He acknowledged the Romanian police were “very respectful” and he promised to “be back soon.”
Khalifa tweeted: “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 a-- joint next time.”
The Roll Up rapper previously discussed his passion for cannabis during an interview with Alex Cooper for Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.
Khalifa admitted he “pulls up” to his son’s parent-teacher conferences while high and the teachers “expect it.”
