British grime artist Stormzy was banned from driving for nine months after admitting to using his phone while driving a Rolls-Royce through London.
Stormzy , the British grime artist, was banned from driving for nine months after admitting he drove his Rolls-Royce through London while using his phone. The 31-year-old, whose real name is Michael Ebenazer Owuo Jr., is known for bringing the grime genre of rap into the commercial mainstream. His debut “Gang Signs and Prayer” won album of the year at the Brit Awards in 2018, where he was named best male British solo artist — an honor he won again in 2020.
His record on the road, however, isn't good, a judge said at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court. Stormzy previously put “vulnerable road users at risk” when he drove a Lamborghini Urus with illegally tinted windows, prosecutor Alice Holloway said. The windows only allowed 4% light transmission — a tiny fraction of the 70% required for tinting. Stormzy, who wasn't in court for the hearing, pleaded guilty in writing to the cellphone driving charge from March. He had previously admitted the 2023 tinting offense and also had a record of speeding. The artist was fined 2,010 pounds ($2,500) and penalty points were added to his license
