Wiz Khalifa Charged For Smoking On Stage In Romania, Breaks Silence On His Arrest

Wiz Khalifa has been charged for unlawful drug possession after he reportedly smoked on stage during a performance in Romania.

While performing at the 'Beach, Please!' Festival on Saturday, Romanian authorities escorted Wiz Khalifa out of the venue.

Khalifa, 36, was reportedly found with 18 grams of cannabis on him. The "Roll Up" rapper, dressed in a black vest adorned with icy chains, reached into his pocket and pulled out an enormous joint during his performance. He lit the blunt and inhaled deeply on stage much to the crowd's delight.

In Romania, possession of cannabis can lead to a prison sentence of up to 10 years. A video circulating on social media shows the father of one being escorted away by Romanian police.

Khalifa, real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was detained for questioning early on July 14 and later charged. He was subsequently released from custody.

Khalifa took to X, previously known as Twitter, to inform his fans about the incident.

"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," he posted.

According to 'Complex,' Khalifa disclosed earlier this year that he smokes "like 30" joints a day.
