Wiz Khalifa was reportedly arrested in Romania over the weekend after consuming marijuana during a music festival performance. Khalifa (real name: Cameron Thomaz) performed at the Beach Please! Festival in Romania on Saturday. Footage of the rapper's performance shared on social media shows him smoking onstage.
A press release from law enforcement later confirmed that an individual was charged with "illegal possession of high-risk drugs" after attending a music festival with cannabis.
"It was noted that he, during a recital held at a music festival taking place in Costinești resort, Constanta county, possessed over 18 grams of cannabis (a high-risk drug) and consumed (onstage) another amount of cannabis in the form of an artisanal cigarette," the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism said in the translated statement.
Footage of Khalifa's performance at the festival also included a clip of the "Black and Yellow" emcee appearing to be escorted by police afterward. USA TODAY has reached out to law enforcement and representatives for Khalifa for comment.
In an X post on Sunday, Khalifa appeared to allude to his arrest at the Beach Please! Festival.
"Last night's show was amazing. I didn't mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up onstage," Khalifa wrote. "They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big (expletive) joint next time."
