London: A London judge on Thursday banned British grime star Stormzy from driving for nine months, after an undercover police officer caught him using a phone behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce in west London.
District judge Andrew Sweet handed the 31-year-old rapper the ban after he had pleaded guilty via a letter to driving while using the device in west Kensington on March 7 last year.
The judge, sitting at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court, also fined him £2,010 ($2,498) after six more points had been added to his licence.
Before Thursday's hearing, Stormzy -- whose name is Michael Ebenazer Owuo Junior -- had six points on his licence for a previous speeding offence.
In the UK, drivers can be disqualified if they build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years.
