Rapper Armani White arrested after dancing on interstate concrete barrier, citation says

LONDON, Ky. (WKYT/Gray News) – Rapper Armani White was arrested Sunday evening after police say he ran across an interstate and danced on a concrete barrier while filming a music video.

White, whose real name is Enoch Tolbert, is best known for his song “BILLIE EILISH,” which became a viral TikTok hit.

Officials in Kentucky said White was taken into custody after multiple 911 calls reported someone running back and forth into traffic on Interstate 75.

When police arrived, they said they found White dancing on a concrete barrier wall. He told officers he was filming a music video.

The London Police Department said White did not have the proper permits to film a music video on the interstate.

Officers warned White how dangerous his actions were and said that all it takes is one person not paying attention for a tragedy to happen.

White was released from jail and is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on Oct. 28.

In response to his arrest and his smiling mugshot, White posted on his Instagram story Tuesday, writing:

“I smiled in that picture because I refuse to let anyone paint me as a criminal. None of this should have happened. And it definitely should not be news.”

He went on to say his album is still coming out on Halloween.

White has more than 3.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
