American rapper Wiz Khalifa has been sentenced in Romania following a drug-related case linked to an incident that occurred during a music festival appearance in the country.

Romanian authorities confirmed that Wiz Khalifa was found guilty of possessing cannabis while attending a festival in Romania earlier this year. Under Romanian law, possession of illegal substances even in small quantities is a criminal offense, regardless of the individual’s celebrity status or nationality.

The court handed the rapper a suspended jail sentence, meaning he will not serve time behind bars unless he violates specific legal conditions set by the court. In addition to the suspended sentence, Wiz Khalifa was reportedly fined and warned against future offenses under Romanian law.

The case stems from an incident in which local law enforcement alleged that the rapper was caught with cannabis backstage at the festival. While marijuana is legal or decriminalized in several parts of the United States, Romania maintains strict drug laws, a fact authorities emphasized during the proceedings.

Wiz Khalifa has not publicly addressed the sentencing in detail, but the situation has sparked widespread discussion online about differing drug laws across countries and the risks international artists face when touring globally. Fans and commentators alike noted that actions considered minor or legal in one country can carry serious consequences elsewhere.

The ruling does not affect Wiz Khalifa’s ability to travel internationally at this time, though legal analysts say future compliance with Romanian law will be essential to avoid further penalties.

The case serves as a reminder that global artists must navigate not only cultural differences when touring, but legal systems that vary sharply from country to country. For Wiz Khalifa, the matter appears legally resolved for now but it has added another chapter to ongoing conversations about cannabis laws, celebrity accountability, and international justice.
