Wiz Khalifa just caught a case in Romania. Here we go, SMH. The charge? Illegal drug possession. Not to be taken lightly in Eastern Europe.
It all went down following a show at a seaside festival in Romania.
Get this, Wiz allegedly took a puff of cannabis on stage, prosecutors announced on Sunday. Just out in the open, huh?
The “Black and Yellow” rapper was headlining the “Beach, Please!” festival in Costinești, a village on the Black Sea, a beautiful part of the world FTR.
Reports allege he was found in possession of the drugs Sunday morning, according to prosecutors out there.
Here’s what they said in a press release from the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) – Constanța Territorial Service:
“The prosecutors…ordered the initiation of criminal proceedings against a defendant (US citizen), investigated for the crime of unlawful possession of risk drugs.”
Okay, “Organized Crime and Terrorism” made a statement? Who do they think he is, Al Capone?
They went on to say in their grand statement:
“During a recital held at a music festival in the resort of Costinești, Constanța county, [Khalifa] possessed over 18 grams of cannabis (risk drug) and consumed another amount of cannabis on stage in the form of a craft cigarette.”
So obviously, in Romania, this is no laughing matter. Cannabis is classified out there as a “risk drug,” and possession of the substance is, get this – punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Sheesh.
Although Khalifa has been charged, he was not taken into custody. The investigation is ongoing. Now exhale. Pun intended.
