Wiz Khalifa Apologizes For Cannabis Possession In Romania [Video]

At this point in his career, Wiz Khalifa will light up anywhere and everywhere. He was recently arrested for weed in Romania and has since apologized.

As spotted on HipHopDX, the Pittsburgh, Pa., native has been touring throughout Europe this month. On Saturday, July 13, he performed a set at the Beach Please! Festival. During the performance, he smoked and apparently smoked some more afterward and was promptly arrested on drug possession charges.

“During a recital held during a music festival held in the Costinești resort, Constanța county, [Khalifa] possessed over 18 grams of cannabis (risk drug) and consumed (onstage) another amount of cannabis under the shape of a craft cigarette,” a translated Romanian press release read .

Video captured from the scene shows the “See You Again” performer being walked out of the festival by local authorities. It has been confirmed he was released soon after. Wiz Khalifa took to social media to apologize for the situation. |

“Last night’s show was amazing,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “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 ass joint next time.”

Individuals convicted of drug possession in Romania can face up to 10 years in prison.
