India, Feb. 28 -- A week after American rapper Wiz Khalifa filed an appeal seeking annulment of his jail sentence in Romania, a local court rejected his appeal. On Thursday, the Constanta Court of Appeal deemed the appeal 'inadmissible' and the request 'unfounded'. Khalifa, born Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was issued the nine-month sentence in December last year after being stopped by the Romanian Police in July 2024. He was allegedly smoking cannabis on stage at the Beach, Please! Festival in Constanta County. As per prosecutors, the 38-year-old rapper was found in possession of over 18 grams of cannabis, some of which he was accused of consuming on stage. Khalifa was convicted of "possession of dangerous drugs, without right, for personal consumption" in April 2025. A lower court had issued Khalifa a criminal fine of 3,600 lei (nearly Rs.76,000). However, prosecutors had appealed that decision, seeking a higher sentence. Romania has some of Europe's harsher drug laws. But since Khalifa is a US citizen who does not reside in Romania, it remains unclear whether Romanian authorities will seek to file an extradition request. htc...
