Lil Yachty was driving a 2020 Ferrari F8.

Rapper Lil Yachty was arrested and charged with reckless driving and speeding after police say he was driving over 150 mph on an Atlanta highway, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

The officer followed the car going over 150 miles per hour, with the driver weaving in and out of traffic, according to a GSP incident report.

The Ferrari was released to Yachty’s friend, according to GSP.

Yachty was taken to Atlanta City Jail, where he was released to intake personnel, the report said.

While the incident was audio and video recorded, the report said, GSP is not releasing the video because the case has not been adjudicated.

As of Monday evening, CNN was unable to determine if Yachty has legal representation in this case.

CNN has reached out to Yachty’s management team.

Lil Yachty, an Atlanta native, rose to fame in 2016 with his mixtape “Lil Boat,” according to Billboard.
