Wiz Khalifa's Appeal Against 9-Month Jail Sentence for Drug Possession Rejected by Romanian Court

On Thursday, the Constanta Court of Appeal rejected American rapper Wiz Khalifa's appeal to annul his nine-month jail sentence, finding the annulment challenge inadmissible and the suspension request unfounded.
A lower court in April fined Khalifa 3,600 lei, and prosecutors appealed, leading to his December conviction and last month's appeal filing.
Prosecutors said officers found the rapper with more than 18 grams of cannabis and that he consumed some on stage, and the court convicted Khalifa of `possession of dangerous drugs, without right, for personal consumption`.
The Romanian court upholds Khalifa's nine-month sentence, and it remains unclear whether authorities will seek extradition since he is a U.S. citizen who does not reside in Romania.
Romania's stricter drug laws help explain prosecutors' push for a higher sentence, with Khalifa's international profile possibly attracting global attention, as he rose to fame with 'Kush + Orange Juice' and 'Black and Yellow'.
