The “See You Again” rapper, 36, was seen smoking the substance in footage shared to social media after his performance and was later charged with “illegal possession of high-risk drugs” a press release from Romanian law enforcement later confirmed in a statement. Khalifa, real name Cameron Thomaz, later apologised for the move on social media and said he didn’t “mean any disrespect” by consuming the drugs on stage in front of an audience of thousands. The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism said in their statement that Khalifa “possessed over 18 grams of cannabis” and “consumed another amount of cannabis in the form of an artisanal cigarette”. “Finna get stoned af and throw this first pitch at the pirates game,” the rapper wrote on X/Twitter at the time.
