\n\tWiz Khalifa is a wanted man. The Pittsburgh rapper (born Cameron Jibril Thomaz) is listed on the website of the Romanian police, which states he has a warrant out for his arrest to complete a nine-month prison sentence.<\/p>\n

\n\tKhalifa is wanted after being sentenced to nine months behind bars in December on illegal drug possession charges. The website lists the \u201cwarrant to execute a prison sentence\u201d as the reasoning alongside the artist\u2019s passport photo.<\/p>\n

\n\tTranslated to English, the website states that Khalifa was \u201csentenced to nine months in prison for committing the offense of possession of dangerous drugs without the right for personal consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tPolice allegedly stopped the Taylor Gang boss after seeing him smoking on stage while performing the Snoop Dogg-assisted hit \u201cYoung, Wild & Free,\u201d which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 38-year-old posted an apology on X following the performance. \u201cLast nights show was amazing. I didn\u2019t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage,\u201d he wrote at the time. \u201cThey were respectful and let me go. I\u2019ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last nights show was amazing. I didn\u2019t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I\u2019ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time<\/p>\n

\n\tWiz was originally slapped with an $830 fine by a lower court, but Romanian prosecutors sought out a harsher sentence. He was then sentenced to the nine months behind bars, which was determined to be a final ruling.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt appears, as of press time, Khalifa failed to report to serve his sentence. The Pittsburgh native is currently on mgk\u2019s Lost Americana<\/em> tour, which kicked off Friday (May 15) and is trekking through North America. Wiz and mgk are also teaming up to drop their nostalgic Blog Era Boyz<\/em> joint project on Friday (May 22).<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard<\/em> has reached out to Khalifa\u2019s reps and the Romanian police for comment.<\/p>\n
