Wiz Khalifa is facing almost a year in prison in Romania for weed possession, but is hoping to avoid a stint behind bars.<\/p>\n
According to TMZ<\/a><\/em>, Romania’s Constan\u021ba Court of App<\/a>eal upheld an appeal on Thursday (December 18) to sentence the Pittsburgh native to nine months in jail, overturning a previous ruling that sought to merely fine him 3,000 Romanian lei (roughly $700).<\/p>\n While Wiz himself has yet to comment on the sentence, sources close to the 38-year-old say that “nothing is set in stone just yet” and his team are “currently in the process of appealing the sentence.”<\/p>\n Court documents reveal that Wiz was convicted for “unlawful possession of dangerous drugs for personal use,” with the Eastern European country imposing notoriously strict punishments for illegal substances.<\/p>\n The Taylor Gang rapper was arrested in July 2024 following his performance at the Beach Please! Festival in Costine\u0219ti, Romania, where he smoked what appeared to be a joint onstage while dancing to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg‘s “The Next Episode.”<\/p>\n Local officials said at the time that Wiz had “unlawfully possessed, for his own consumption, the quantity of 18.53 grams of cannabis and a cigarette containing cannabis.”<\/p>\n The rapper apologized for the incident shortly after, writing on X (formerly Twitter<\/a>): “Last night\u2019s show was amazing. I didn\u2019t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I\u2019ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Wiz Khalifa’s legal issues don’t appear to have dampened his well-documented weed habit.<\/p>\n In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> earlier this year, the Rolling Papers<\/em> rapper revealed the staggering number of joints he smokes in an average day.<\/p>\n Asked by Kimmel if it’s true that he burns through 30 joints a day, Wiz answered: \u201cYeah, yeah, yup … I have things to do. I work out, I got kids, so I’m doing a lot of different things.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel then pointed out that the number adds up to almost two joints per hour while Wiz is awake, leading the rapper to joke: \u201cThat\u2019s not bad at all!\u201d<\/p>\n The post Wiz Khalifa Facing 9-Month Prison Sentence In Romania appeared first on HipHopDX.<\/p>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
