Translated to English, the website states that Khalifa was “sentenced to nine months in prison for committing the offense of possession of dangerous drugs without the right for personal consumption.”
When handing down the nine-month sentence, prosecutors alleged that Khalifa was smoking marijuana on stage during his July 2024 performance at the Beach, Please! Festival in Costinesti. Prosecutors also claimed he was found with more than 18 grams of marijuana.
Police allegedly stopped the Taylor Gang boss after seeing him smoking on stage while performing the Snoop Dogg-assisted hit “Young, Wild & Free,” which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2011.
The 38-year-old posted an apology on X following the performance. “Last nights show was amazing. I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage,” he wrote at the time. “They were respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”
