Wiz Khalifa’s love for the green has landed him in hot water – this time, all the way in Romania. According to reports, the rapper was arrested for illegal use of cannabis during a performance at a music festival in the resort town of Costinesti. And let’s just say, Wiz didn’t exactly try to hide it.

Romanian prosecutors dropped the details in a statement on Sunday, and it’s a doozy. “During a performance at a music festival held in the resort of Costinesti, the accused was found to have possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis and to have consumed on stage another quantity in the form of a handmade cigarette,” the statement read. Yup, Wiz was literally smoking loud on stage – and now he’s facing the consequences.

Let’s paint the picture here: the festival is pumping, the crowd is vibing, and Wiz is doing what Wiz does best – putting on a killer show. But in true Khalifa fashion, he decides to light up right there in front of everyone. For most fans, this is par for the course with Wiz, but the Romanian authorities? Not so much.
Now, let’s be honest, Wiz Khalifa and weed go together like peanut butter and jelly. His love for cannabis is well-documented, and it’s practically a part of his brand. But unfortunately for him, the Romanian legal system isn’t as chill about it as some other places.
Wiz took to social media to set the record straight, and his response is as smooth as his flow.
