Music artiste, Wiz Khalifa, found himself on the wrong side of the law in early July this year during a music festival dubbed Beach, Please! in Constinesti, Romania, where an estimated 200 artistes were present to perform.
Some of the biggest names at the event included Travis Scott, Ice Spice, Chief Keef, Wiz Khalifa, and Yeat.
The Pittsburgh rapper and singer hit the stage on the 13th day of the month, and not too long after, he was arrested by Romanian officials. They saw him smoking weed onstage, which is an illegal act in the European country. However, he was released shortly after this incident.
Police officials issued a formal statement saying, “Investigations revealed that during a performance at a music festival in the Costinești resort, Constanța County, he possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis, a risk drug, and consumed another quantity of cannabis on stage in the form of a hand-rolled cigarette.”
Wiz Khalifa opened up on X a day after expressing his gratitude for the festival and police officers.

“Last nights 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*s joint next time.”
However, according to Romania-Insider (via XXL), authorities are going against their initial decision and are currently indicting him for illicit drug use.
They did so on October 16. If convicted of his charge, Wiz can face some time behind bars. The minimum is three months, with the maximum being two years.
In the best scenario, Wiz may be fined. So far, neither he nor his team have spoken about the indictment.
