Stormzy has been banned from driving for nine months after being caught using his phone while behind the wheel in London
London: So, Stormzy just got hit with a nine-month driving ban. Can you believe it? He was caught using his phone while driving his fancy Rolls-Royce in west London.
The rapper, whose real name is Michael Ebenazer Owuo Junior, was driving on Addison Road when an undercover cop spotted him. The officer knocked on his tinted window and told him to stop using his phone.
It turns out, this isn’t his first run-in with the law. He had already been warned about his car’s windows being too dark. The law says they should let in at least 70% light, but his were only letting in 4%!
On October 17, 2023, he was pulled over again, and by then, he already had six points on his license. Not looking good, right? The judge wasn’t impressed and slapped him with a £2,010 fine on top of the ban.
His driving record isn’t exactly stellar, and the judge called his actions “dangerous and irresponsible.” Stormzy’s lawyer said he takes responsibility and has even removed the tints from his car. Let’s hope he learns from this!
