Chicago rapper Adamn Killa, real name Adam Kelly, sparked chaos — and laughs — on social media this week after he was briefly detained by police for interrupting a traffic stop and daring officers to “Arrest me, daddy!”
The 29-year-old artist, who has amassed more than 1.2 million TikTok followers and 770,000 Instagram fans, has been posting a string of viral videos in which he taunts police by pretending to surrender.
In the clips, Killa can be seen turning himself in mock-seriously, placing his hands behind his head, and challenging officers to cuff him — all in the name of internet fame.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the latest stunt happened on Monday, November 10, in downtown Chicago, when Killa approached officers conducting a traffic stop and repeated his now-signature line: “Arrest me, daddy.”
Police briefly handcuffed the rapper and detained him for around 20 minutes before letting him go without charges. Hours later, Adamn was already back online, posting footage of the incident to his followers.
“I got out and I went and made more ‘Arrest me, daddy’ videos right after,” he said, adding that while he doesn’t plan to interrupt police again, he’s not done making content.
Killa also claimed that his antics began years ago as a form of protest during ICE raids in Chicago — not just for laughs.
“How they be covering their face and shit, I feel like in the future, they gonna look at them like how they looked at, like, the Nazi soldiers,” he said. “Because they know what they be doing wrong. That’s why they cover their face and they be covering their badges and stuff.”

The rapper — known for his rebellious persona and eccentric online presence — has become a TikTok phenomenon, with his recent series of personalized shoutouts (“If your name starts with an S, this is for you”) drawing millions of views.
Despite the controversy, Adamn Killa’s antics have only boosted his digital footprint. He’s currently managed by Taylor Bennett, the brother of Chance the Rapper, and continues to balance viral humor, protest, and provocation in a way that keeps fans — and the police — watching closely.
