A Chicago TikTok influencer, known for daring law enforcement with the chant “Arrest me, Daddy,” was finally detained this week during one of his viral stunts.
The 29‑year-old influencer, Adam Kelly, aka Adamn Killa, interrupted a traffic stop downtown, performing his signature dance and provocatively telling officers to arrest him. He was handcuffed and held for approximately 20 minutes before being released without charges.
Kelly has taken these stunts beyond Chicago, even targeting other public officials, always using the same phrase to provoke reactions. Despite being detained, he immediately resumed creating content for his online audience, showing no signs of stopping.
Key Points:
- Built a viral following by approaching law enforcement and shouting “Arrest me, Daddy” before dancing.
- Detained during a downtown Chicago traffic-stop but not formally charged.
- The stunt raises questions about the boundary between performance, social-media provocation, and public safety.
- Adamn Killa continues to leverage the stunts to expand his online brand.
Conclusion:
This viral social media stunt has led to real-world consequences for the influencer, demonstrating how online performance can collide with law enforcement realities — and how creators continue to push limits to maintain attention.
