Wiz Khalifa is facing a indictment in Romania after the authorities decided to indict him illicit drug use after the American rapper lit up a joint on stage while performing at a festival.
Marijuana is illegal in Romania.
“During a performance at a music festival held in the resort of Costinesti, the accused was found to have possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis and to have consumed (on stage) another quantity in the form of a handmade cigarette,” Romanian anti-organized crime prosecutors (DIICOT) said in a statement.
He was arrested in front of more than 80,000 people.

If convicted, Wiz could spend up to two years in prison and be ordered to pay a fine.
The rapper, who shares a son with Amber Rose, apologized for the action on X, formerly Twitter, at the time.
“I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage,” he wrote. “They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”
