Wiz Khalifa's nine-month prison sentence in Romania has been thrown out. On Tuesday, Nov. 3, the Bucharest Court of Appeal granted his annulment challenge, scrapped the Dec. 18, 2025 ruling from the Constanta Court of Appeal that sentenced him to nine months behind bars, and canceled the warrant to carry out that sentence. The case started at the Beach, Please! festival in Costinesti in July 2024, when Wiz smoked a joint on stage; prosecutors said he had 18.53 grams of cannabis. A lower court first gave him a fine of 3,600 lei, but anti-organized-crime prosecutors (DIICOT) appealed and won the prison term. Wiz never turned himself in, and Romanian police put him on their wanted list in May, per Libertatea. His lawyers got the case moved from Constanta to Bucharest in September. This is not an acquittal: the court set Nov. 12 to rehear the prosecutors' appeal from scratch, and is arranging for Wiz to appear by video link. TrapHop USA will be back on this one Nov. 12.
