Cell phone at the wheel
British rapper Stormzy banned from driving
The new year has started with bad news for British rapper Stormzy. The 31-year-old was banned from driving for nine months because he was caught using his cell phone at the wheel, as the British news agency PA reported from a courtroom in London.
He was driving a Rolls-Royce in the posh Kensington district when a plainclothes policeman saw him with a cell phone in his hand in March last year. Stormzy pleaded guilty.
Caught speeding
This was not the first time the hip-hop star, whose real name is Michael Ebenazer Owuo Junior, had fallen foul of the British Highway Code. He had already collected six points on the traffic offenders register before being banned from driving for speeding.
He also repeatedly drove with a heavily tinted windshield, for example in a Lamborghini Urus in which he was stopped and cautioned by the police in October 2023.
Fine of 2000 pounds
In addition to the driving ban, Stormzy must pay a fine of 2,000 pounds (around 2,400 euros), the judge ruled, according to PA.
