Stormzy Fined £533 for Phone Use in £400k Ferrari

Stormzy, whose real name is Michael Ebenazer Owuo Junior, has been fined £533 for using his mobile phone at the wheel of his £400,000 Ferrari Purosangue. The Metropolitan Police pulled over the rapper last November 10, at approximately 9:25 AM, near his home in Kingston upon Thames. He was observed by an officer typing an address into his phone's map application while the vehicle was in stationary traffic.

Stormzy admitted to the offense at the roadside and later pleaded guilty to not having proper control of his vehicle at Croydon Magistrates' Court. In addition to the fine, he was ordered to pay £120 in costs and a £213 victim surcharge, and received three penalty points on his driving license. The total court bill amounted to £866, which he has a month to settle.

This is not the first time the music star has been penalized for this offense. In January 2025, Stormzy was banned from driving for nine months after being caught on his phone while driving a Rolls-Royce in West Kensington. He also faced a £2,010 court bill and admitted to charges of overly tinted windows on that occasion.

Recent court data indicates that 1,195 motorists have been prosecuted in the past month for similar driving offenses, resulting in nearly £180,000 in fines and 58 driving bans.
