Popular British rapper, Stormzy has been banned from driving for nine months in the UK.

The singer was banned by the Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after an off-duty police officer caught him in London using a mobile phone behind the wheel of his Rolls-Royce vehicle.

The District judge, Andrew Sweet handed him the ban after he pleaded guilty, via a letter, to driving while using the device in west Kensington on March 7 2024.

Sweet noted that Stormzy’s driving record was “not good” and criticised his “dangerous and irresponsible” actions.
