Wiz Khalifa attacked the decision of the Constanța Court of Appeals, which sentenced him to 9 months in prison for drug possession.

The American rapper Wiz Khalifa, whose real name is Thomaz Cameron Jiribr, has contested the decision of the Constanța Court of Appeals, which sentenced him to 9 months in prison for drug possession. The appeal was registered on January 21 and will be judged at the Constanța Tribunal on April 3. Initially, the rapper received a fine, but DIICOT prosecutors contested the sentence, seeking a harsher punishment.

The judges decided that his behavior of smoking cannabis on stage, having an influence on young people, justifies a harsher punishment. Wiz Khalifa was caught with over 18 grams of cannabis at the 'Beach Please' festival and stated that he did not intend to offend the Romanian authorities. The artist is also known for marijuana use and has had previous legal issues related to this subject.
