Wiz Khalifa Arrested in Romania

Wiz Khalifa was one of the headlining acts at the Beach, Please! Festival on July 13. However, video went viral that showed him being detained after smoking a joint on stage during his performance. He was later released. Romania Police later released a statement about the incident.

“Investigations revealed that during a performance at a music festival in the Costinești resort, Constanța County, he possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis (a risk drug) and consumed another quantity of cannabis on stage in the form of a hand-rolled cigarette,” the statement read.

Wiz, who welcomed a baby girl less than two weeks after his arrest, addressed the incident on X, formerly known as Twitter, the following day.

“Last nights show was amazing,” he typed. “I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big a*s joint next time.”
