A Romanian court has rejected rapper Wiz Khalifa’s latest attempt to overturn the nine‑month jail sentence he was handed last year for allegedly smoking cannabis onstage at the Beach, Please! Festival in Constanța County. The New Haven Register reports that Khalifa — born Cameron Jibril Thomaz — filed an appeal seeking to have the conviction annulled, but judges weren’t moved.
Authorities stopped Khalifa in July 2024 after the festival performance and charged him with drug possession. The December ruling ordered that he serve the sentence if he ever returns to the country — a detail that made headlines at the time but didn’t soften the court’s stance this week.
The denial keeps the original conviction fully intact.
