Stormzy has been banned from driving for nine months after an undercover police officer caught him using a mobile phone behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce in London.
The 31-year-old rapper, whose real name is Michael Ebenazer Owuo Junior, pleaded guilty via a letter to driving the Rolls-Royce Wraith while using a device on Addison Road, west Kensington, in March last year.
District judge Andrew Sweet said Stormzy’s driving record was “not good” and criticised his “dangerous and irresponsible” actions. The court was told he already had six points on his licence for previous speeding offences.
Stormzy’s solicitor told Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court his client accepted responsibility for his actions.
