Overview
- Romanian police placed Wiz Khalifa on their public wanted persons database on May 20, 2026 under an enforcement warrant tied to a nine‑month prison sentence.
- The nine‑month custodial sentence was imposed by the Constanța Court of Appeal after the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism appealed a lower‑court fine and the court refused to annul or suspend the sentence in February 2026.
- The prosecution traces to a July 2024 Beach, Please! festival in Costinești where police say he smoked onstage and were later found to possess roughly 18 grams of cannabis.
- A contemporaneous check of the Romanian Police database produced both a photo/listing for the rapper and at least one message stating the alert was “no longer active,” leaving the immediate enforcement status unclear.
- If Romanian authorities press the warrant they would likely seek transfer through a European Arrest Warrant which could result in detention in EU countries and would constrain the artist’s travel unless he surrenders or wins further legal relief.
