Stormzy Banned from Driving for Nine Months: What Led to the Decision?
British rapper Stormzy, born Michael Ebenazer Owuo Jr., has been banned from driving for nine months after admitting to using his mobile phone while driving his Rolls-Royce Wraith in West Kensington, London.
The incident occurred on March 7, 2024, when an undercover police officer observed Stormzy using his phone behind the wheel. Stormzy pleaded guilty to the offense via letter and was fined £2,010.
Additionally, six penalty points were added to his license, bringing his total to 15 points due to previous driving offenses, including driving with illegally tinted windows and speeding.
District Judge Andrew Sweet criticized Stormzy’s actions as “dangerous and irresponsible,” noting his prior traffic violations.
