US Rapper Wiz Khalifa Sentenced To Jail In Romania

American hip-hop star Wiz Khalifa has been handed a nine-month prison sentence by a court in Romania over a drug-related offence connected to a stage performance in the country last year.

The conviction was delivered in absentia after prosecutors overturned an earlier judgment that had imposed only a monetary penalty.

Khalifa, born Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was arrested in July 2024 after allegedly smoking cannabis during a live performance at a music festival in Costinești, a resort town along Romania’s Black Sea coast.

He was briefly held by authorities before being released, and later issued a public apology, saying his actions were not intended as a sign of disrespect to Romanian laws or culture.

Initially, the Constanța Tribunal fined the rapper 3,000 lei, roughly $690. Dissatisfied with the outcome, prosecutors from the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, DIICOT, filed an appeal, arguing that the offence warranted a custodial sentence.

The appellate court agreed, replacing the fine with a nine-month jail term for illegal possession of a high-risk drug for personal use. Reports indicate the decision is final under Romanian law.

Wiz Khalifa is currently based in the United States, and it is yet to be determined whether Romanian authorities will seek his extradition.

There has been no confirmation that the sentence will be enforced.

Romania enforces stringent anti-drug legislation, with cannabis prohibited for both recreational and medical purposes.

“But to be honest, I wish them the best. I’m a fan of whatever they are doing because I’m not a hater and I have moved on. So, I don’t know where this remark is coming from but if you dey vex maybe there’s something that you feel I have done and I don’t know, I’m sorry.

“But from me oo, it’s all love. My people, don’t take all this thing personal. E get things for the entertainment industry that you people don’t know about, and the reason I’m saying this is because she’s the one that talks negatively about me”, he said.

'A Very Dirty Christmas’ – CAN Blows Hot Over Title Of New Nollywood Movie Plus Cautions Actress Ini Edo

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has expressed outrage over the title of a new movie – ‘A Very Dirty Christmas’.

CAN said it considers the title offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith.

The Christian body noted that Christmas is a sacred season that marks the birth of Jesus Christ and represents purity, peace, love and redemption, adding that linking such a holy celebration with the word “dirty” diminishes its spiritual meaning and reduces a solemn religious observance to something crude and sensational.

CAN, in a statement signed by Archbishop Daniel Okoh, its President, said while it respects creative freedom and artistic expression, such freedom must be exercised with responsibility and sensitivity, especially in a religiously diverse society like Nigeria.

It added that creativity should build understanding and unity, not provoke or offend deeply held beliefs.

The association said it is concerned that a film bearing such a title passed through regulatory and professional channels without adequate scrutiny.

CAN therefore called on the National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, to “explain how the title was approved for public exhibition, particularly during the Christmas season”.

CAN also urged industry bodies such as the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, and other stakeholders in Nollywood to take a clear stand on the use of religious themes and symbols in ways that may offend faith communities.

Furthermore, CAN called on “the producers and promoters of the film to reconsider the title, issue a public apology, and take deliberate steps to ensure that religious symbols and sacred seasons are treated with the dignity they deserve. In this regard”.

CAN urged the producer of the movie, Ini Edo, to show sensitivity and address the concerns raised by the Christian community.

“At a time when the nation is already facing serious moral and social challenges, actions that trivialise sacred values only deepen division and erode mutual respect,” CAN added.
