On September 21, McCollum was reportedly flying his 2020 Ferrari F8 down Interstate 75 when an officer noticed the car speeding and weaving in and out of traffic.

The officer was able to pull him over and the rapper was taken into custody.

McCollum crashed another Ferrari in the same area in June after spinning out of control.

CNN reported that the 23-year-old rapper was taken to Atlanta City Jail and the car was released to one of his friends.

He’s since been released, and briefly mentioned the arrest on his social media accounts.

The rapper posted a video of himself sitting in a car counting large stacks of money just yesterday, along with the caption: “I’m not in jail.”

Lil Yachty also posted a video to TikTok in which he acknowledged his recent arrest, adding, “God forbid the mug shot comes out.”

He added some advice for his fans: “Slow down, kids.”

McCollum, an Atlanta native, first rose to fame after he released his first mixtape Lil Boat in 2016.

His debut solo album Teenage Emotions came out a year later. He has since released three more albums.
