US rapper Wiz Khalifa found himself in the grips of Romania Police on Sunday after performing on stage at the Beach, Please! Festival at the Black Sea Coast in Romania.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 36-year-old rapper was charged with illegal drug possession after performing, Agence France Presse reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring a performance at a music festival held in the resort of Costinesti, the accused was found to have possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis and to have consumed (on stage) another quantity in the form of a handmade cigarette,\u201d said the Romanian anti-organised crime prosecutors (DIICOT) in a statement on Sunday, per the AFP report.<\/p>\n

Cannabis is considered a \u201crisk drug\u201d in Romania and possession of the substance can be punishable by up to ten years in prison.<\/p>\n

Videos of the \u201cBlack and Yellow\u201d rapper smoking on stage have circulated on social media as well as a separate clip of him being escorted from the venue by police.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast nights show was amazing. I didn\u2019t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage,\u201d Wiz wrote on his X account Sunday morning. \u201cThey were very respectful and let me go. I\u2019ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.\u201d<\/p>\n
