Stormzy banned from driving for nine months

The judge called his driving record "not good"

The UK rapper, real name Michael Ebenazer Owuo Junior, pleaded guilty to using a hand-held mobile while driving a Rolls Royce Wraith.

The incident happened in west Kensignton, London, in March 2024.

Wimbledon Magistrates' Court heard that an undercover police officer had approached the car and told the driver to "get rid of your tints and get off your phone".

Stormzy was not present in court, although was handed a £2,010 fine along with the sentence.

District judge Andrew Sweet said Stormzy's driving record is "not good" and criticised his "dangerous and irresponsible" actions.

Before the hearing, he had six points on his licence.

The rapper previously admitted to driving a Lamborghini Urus which had front windows that were tinted beyond the legal limit.

The windows only had 4% light transmission - the legal requirement is 70%.

Defending the star, Peter Csemiczky, said he accepts responsibility and apologises.

He added that the tints have been removed from the car.
