Wiz Khalifa Sentenced to Nine Months in Romanian Prison for 'Possession of Dangerous Drugs'

Wiz Khalifa, the American rapper and singer, has been sentenced to nine months in a Romanian prison for possession of dangerous drugs. The Constanța Court of Appeal judges found him guilty of promoting 'a message of normalisation of illegal conduct' and encouraging 'drug use among young people'.

The court's decision was based on a video posted by Wiz Khalifa on his social media accounts, which showed him smoking a substance that the judges believed to be cannabis. The video was posted in 2024, but the court's decision was only made public on December 19, 2025.

Wiz Khalifa's lawyer has stated that the rapper will appeal the decision, claiming that the video was taken out of context and that the substance in question was not cannabis. However, the court has ruled that the video was sufficient evidence to convict Wiz Khalifa of the crime.

The rapper's fans are shocked and disappointed by the news, with many taking to social media to express their support for Wiz Khalifa. The hashtag #FreeWizKhalifa is trending on Twitter, with many calling for the rapper's release.

The incident has raised questions about the use of social media and the potential consequences of posting content that could be misinterpreted. It also highlights the ongoing issue of drug use and the need for education and awareness.
