“I rode an electric scooter home after drinking at a dinner last night,” the 31-year-old wrote. He siad he thought it was a “short distance” and didn’t realize that you can’t use an electric scooter under the influence, therefore violating road traffic laws.
“I fell while parking the electric scooter in front of my house, and there was a police officer nearby… I was given a breathalyzer test and subsequently had my license revoked and was fined.”
The singer and rapper added that no one was harmed or any facilities damaged, but “this is my responsibility and I have no excuses.” “I apologize to everyone who was hurt by my careless and wrong actions, and I will be more careful in my actions to avoid this from happening again.”
