Wiz Khalifa has probably thought twice about trying to join the mile-high club since his arrest in Texas.

The rapper has cut a deal in his marijuana possession case stemming from his May 25, 2014, bust at El Paso International Airport, pleading guilty Monday to misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia and agreeing to pay a $500 fine.

Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, did not appear personally in court to enter the plea.

Of course, the most memorable aspect of this case is not the .5 grams of weed that police say Wiz had in his bag when he tried to board his flight.

No, the "Work Hard, Play Hard" artists made way more headlines with the selfie he snapped while cooling his heels in custody.

"Jail selfie," he accurately captioned the shot.

Wiz is currently on the Boys of Zummer Tour and will be touching down tomorrow in Akron, Ohio, to perform for everyone who isn't at Quicken Loans Arena to watch hometown hero LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
