Wiz Khalifa Wanted by Romanian Police After 9-Month Prison Sentence on Drug Charges

Wiz Khalifa is a wanted man. The Pittsburgh rapper (born Cameron Jibril Thomaz) is listed on the website of the Romanian police, which states he has a warrant out for his arrest to complete a nine-month prison sentence.

Khalifa is wanted after being sentenced to nine months behind bars in December on illegal drug possession charges. The website lists the “warrant to execute a prison sentence” as the reasoning alongside the artist’s passport photo.

Translated to English, the website states that Khalifa was “sentenced to nine months in prison for committing the offense of possession of dangerous drugs without the right for personal consumption.”

When handing down the nine-month sentence, prosecutors alleged that Khalifa was smoking marijuana on stage during his July 2024 performance at the Beach, Please! Festival in Costinesti. Prosecutors also claimed he was found with more than 18 grams of marijuana.

Police allegedly stopped the Taylor Gang boss after seeing him smoking on stage while performing the Snoop Dogg-assisted hit “Young, Wild & Free,” which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2011.

The 38-year-old posted an apology on X following the performance. “Last nights show was amazing. I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage,” he wrote at the time. “They were respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”

Wiz was originally slapped with an $830 fine by a lower court, but Romanian prosecutors sought out a harsher sentence. He was then sentenced to the nine months behind bars, which was determined to be a final ruling.

It appears, as of press time, Khalifa failed to report to serve his sentence. The Pittsburgh native is currently on mgk’s Lost Americana tour, which kicked off Friday (May 15) and is trekking through North America. Wiz and mgk are also teaming up to drop their nostalgic Blog Era Boyz joint project on Friday (May 22).

Billboard has reached out to Khalifa’s reps and the Romanian police for comment.
