Adamn Killa’s “Arrest Me Daddy” Bit Finally Caught Up To Him

The cops finally got him. TikTok-famous creator and rapper Adamn Killa actually kind of got arrested in Chicago after one of his viral stunts went a little too method.

The moment didn’t land him in jail, but it did land him in the back of a squad car, which, depending on how you look at it, might’ve been a bucket-list item for a man who’s built an entire brand around begging police officers to detain him on camera.

Killa had been interrupting a traffic stop to film one of his signature videos when officers briefly detained him in a suad car, accroding to the Chicago Suntimes. But in true Adamn Killa fashion, the detour barely slowed him down.

“I got out and I went and made more ‘Arrest me, daddy’ videos right after,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times.

If you’ve spent more than five minutes on TikTok this year, you’ve likely seen his bit: Killa bending over dramatically with his arms tied behind his back telling random people, sometimes cops, sometimes ICE agents, sometimes the National Guard, to arrest him before catapulting into a dance where he loops his arms over his head.

Other times, he opens with, “If your name starts with…” before calling out a letter and launching into the same dance again. It’s performance art with a soundtrack: his track “Fall On,” which plays in nearly every clip.

PinkPantheress, Ravyn Lenae, and Soulja Boy have all popped up in his videos. One of his most recent viral moments shows Druski’s security grabbing him mid-stunt as Druski cracks up in the background.

Before becoming a viral character, Killa was a Chicago rapper with a cult following. He started making music at 14 as part of the group 197 O$G with Chicago artist Lucki.

Now, though, beneath the jokes and gyrations, Killa’s got opinions about policing in America.

"How they be covering their face and s- - -, I feel like in the future, they gonna look at them like how they looked at, like the Nazi soldiers,” he told the Chicago Suntimes. “Because they know what they be doing wrong. That’s why they cover their face and they be covering their badges and stuff.”

And to him, that commentary is part of the lineage he belongs to.

“I feel like rap was always speaking your mind against s- - - 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.”
