Rapper Adamn Killa Briefly Detained After Taunting Chicago Police: ‘Arrest Me, Daddy’
Rapper Adamn Killa, known for his viral “arrest me, daddy” prank, found himself briefly detained by Chicago police earlier this week after attempting to execute his signature stunt during a traffic stop in Downtown Chicago. The incident occurred on November 10, and according to reports from the Chicago Sun-Times, Killa was handcuffed and held in the back of a police car for approximately 20 minutes. Despite the temporary setback, he took the opportunity to create more content, immediately filming additional prank videos after his release. Killa, who boasts a significant following of 781,000 on Instagram, shared footage of his encounter with law enforcement, set to his own track “Fall On,” showcasing the humorous and audacious nature of his antics.
This isn’t the first time Killa has engaged in such pranks; he has previously used them as a form of protest against the Trump administration’s immigration policies, targeting police and ICE agents in Chicago. His approach combines humor with social commentary, as he criticizes the actions of law enforcement while simultaneously entertaining his audience. Killa articulated his views on the role of rap music in addressing societal issues, stating, “I feel like rap was always speaking your mind against s–t you didn’t like.” He believes that hip-hop should serve as a platform for expressing opinions and advocating for change, reflecting the genre’s roots in social justice and activism.
Adding to the context of his recent detainment, Killa released his track “Arrest Me Daddy” just days before the incident, further blending his music career with his provocative public persona. This unique intersection of art and activism not only amplifies his message but also engages his audience in a conversation about the complexities of law enforcement and societal norms. With his bold antics and catchy music, Adamn Killa continues to carve out a niche for himself in the rap scene, where humor and serious commentary coexist. Watch the footage of his detainment and see how Killa turns a potentially negative experience into a moment of creative expression.

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.
