AceShowbiz - The Romanian authorities have escalated the legal situation involving Wiz Khalifa, placing the rapper on their international wanted list as of May 20, 2026. This development now puts him at risk of arrest and extradition across any European Union country.

Wiz Khalifa faces a prison sentence of nine months for drug possession connected to an incident at the 2024 Beach Please festival held in Costine?ti, located on Romania’s Black Sea coast. During his performance, the rapper openly smoked cannabis on stage, an act witnessed by thousands.

Following the event, Romanian police found 18 grams of cannabis in Wiz Khalifa’s possession. What initially seemed like a minor festival incident has since evolved into a serious criminal case with international repercussions for the artist.

According to reports from Romania Insider, Wiz Khalifa was convicted of possessing risk drugs without authorization for personal use. He challenged the verdict, but in February 2026, the Constan?a Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal and upheld the sentence without suspension.

This rejection effectively confirmed the sentence and led to his addition on Romania’s wanted list. With this status, if Wiz Khalifa travels to any European Union nation, Romanian authorities can issue a European Arrest Warrant. This could lead to his detention and compulsory service of the prison term in Romania.

While Wiz Khalifa has encountered legal issues in the past, this case is notably different as it extends beyond U.S. jurisdiction, severely limiting his freedom to travel across Europe. Unless he chooses to surrender and serve his sentence, his movements throughout the EU remain at risk.

As of now, Wiz Khalifa’s legal representatives have not disclosed any plans to file further appeals or to voluntarily turn himself in to authorities.
