Slow down, please.

According to reports, rapper Lil Yachty was arrested for driving over 150 mph on an Atlanta highway. “Yeah, it happened,” he addressed the arrest in a Tik Tok video posted Monday. “Slow down, kids.”

Back on Sept. 21, Georgia State Patrol troopers pulled over a white Ferrari with the 23-year-old rapper behind the wheel. According to a State Patrol incident report, Yachty was followed by an officer after he was seen speeding and weaving in and out of traffic.

The rapper, whose real name is Miles McCollum, was taken to the Atlanta City Jail and charged with reckless driving and speeding. He has since been released.
