US Rapper Wiz Khalifa Sentenced to Jail in Romania for Drug Offense

American rapper Wiz Khalifa, born Cameron Jibril Thomaz, has been handed a nine-month prison sentence in Romania for a drug-related offense. The incident occurred during his stage performance in the country last year where he allegedly smoked cannabis.

Initially fined, the prosecutor appealed for a custodial sentence, arguing that the offense warranted jail time due to the high-risk nature of the drug. The decision is pending confirmation on whether Romanian authorities will seek extradition for enforcement.

Khalifa, currently based in the United States, has expressed regret and apologized publicly for his actions.
