Rapper Adamn Killa Briefly Detained After Taunting Chicago Police: ‘Arrest Me, Daddy’
**Adamn Killa’s Viral Prank Lands Him in Police Custody: A Closer Look**
Adamn Killa, the Chicago-based rapper known for his playful yet provocative antics, found himself briefly detained by police during a recent prank that has gone viral. On November 10, Killa, whose real name is Adam Kelly, executed his signature “ohh, arrest me, daddy” stunt in downtown Chicago, where he playfully taunted officers while they were conducting a traffic stop. According to the *Chicago Sun-Times*, the 29-year-old was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car for approximately 20 minutes before being released. Despite the brief detainment, Killa remained unfazed and quickly returned to his comedic roots, filming more “Arrest me, daddy” videos to share with his 781,000 Instagram followers. The footage, set to his newly released track “Fall On,” captures both the playful spirit of his prank and the reality of his encounter with law enforcement.
Killa’s antics are not just for laughs; they also serve as a form of protest against systemic issues, particularly the Trump administration’s immigration policies. He has been vocal about his beliefs, suggesting that his pranks highlight the troubling behavior of law enforcement, akin to how historical figures like Nazi soldiers are viewed. “They know what they be doing wrong,” Killa stated, referencing the way some officers conceal their identities during confrontations. His approach is rooted in a long-standing tradition within hip-hop, where artists use their platform to speak out against injustices and societal issues. Killa believes that expressing one’s opinions is essential, and he sees his music and pranks as vehicles for his message.
In addition to his viral fame, Killa’s recent release of the track “Arrest Me Daddy” just days before his run-in with the police showcases his ability to blend his musical career with his unique brand of social commentary. This incident, while humorous in nature, underscores the complex relationship between artists, their communities, and law enforcement. As Adamn Killa continues to navigate the intersection of comedy and activism, his work remains a testament to the evolving landscape of hip-hop, where entertainment and social critique often go hand in hand. For those interested in witnessing Killa’s audacious spirit firsthand, the footage of his detainment is available for viewing on his social media channels.

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.
