Rapper Adamn Killa Briefly Detained After Taunting Chicago Police: ‘Arrest Me, Daddy’

Rapper Adamn Killa (born Adam Kelly) was briefly detained after attempting his viral “ohh, arrest me, daddy” prank on Chicago police officers earlier this week.

Killa hopped in front of cops and hit his signature line in Downtown Chicago on Monday afternoon (Nov. 10) and according to the Chicago Sun-Times, he was handcuffed and detained in the back of a police car for about 20 minutes for allegedly interrupting a traffic stop.

“I got out and I went and made more ‘Arrest me, daddy’ videos right after,” the Chicago native told the Sun-Times.

Killa, who’s managed by Chance The Rapper’s brother, Taylor Bennett, didn’t waste any time capitalizing on the moment by posting footage of his encounter with law enforcement on Instagram for his 781,000 followers to see. Soundtracked by his own track “Fall On,” the clip features him being handcuffed by police and placed in the back of a paddy wagon. Fortunately for Killa, he was released a short time later.

It’s far from the first time Killa has attempted to troll police officers across Chicago with his viral “arrest me, daddy” prank and signature taunting dance.

The 29-year-old has also used his prank as a form of protesting the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign while trolling officers and ICE agents around Chicago.

“How they be covering their face and s—t, I feel like in the future, they gonna look at them like how they looked at, like the Nazi soldiers,” he said to the Sun-Times. “Because they know what they be doing wrong. That’s why they cover their face and they be covering their badges and stuff.”

Killa continued: “I feel like rap was always speaking your mind against s–t you didn’t like,” he said. “I feel like that’s how hip-hop kind of started, but I know I’m like the new type of rap, but it’s still the same thing. I feel like you should speak about things, your opinions. You should voice your opinions. It’s a way to get your opinion out.”

On the music side, Killa released his “Arrest Me Daddy” track on Nov. 7, just a few days before his run-in with police on Monday.
