Wiz Khalifa arrested in Romania for drug possession

Wiz Khalifa was reportedly arrested in Romania over the weekend after consuming marijuana during a performance at a music festival.

Khalifa (real name: Cameron Thomaz) performed at the Beach Please! Festival in Romania on Saturday. Footage of the rapper’s performance shared on social media shows him smoking on stage.

A law enforcement press release later confirmed that an individual was charged with “illegal possession of high-risk drugs” after attending a music festival with cannabis.

“He was found to be in possession of over 18 grams of cannabis (a high-risk drug) during a concert at a music festival in the resort of Costinești, Constanta County, and to have consumed (on stage) another quantity of cannabis in the form of a handmade cigarette,” the Directorate for the Investigation of Organised Crime and Terrorism said in a translated statement.

Wiz Khalifa apparently reacts to the arrest in Romania and apologizes

In an X-post on Sunday, Khalifa appeared to allude to his arrest at the Beach Please! Festival.

“Last night’s show was incredible. I didn’t mean to disrespect Romania by smoking on stage,” Khalifa wrote. “They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But next time without a big (expletive) joint.”
