Millions, who was in his first car — a BMW X6 Series — was arrested after a cop smelt weed in March at Mottingham, South East London.
The rapper, real name Shylo Millwood, admitted driving under the influence and without L-plates or insurance at Bromley magistrates’ court.
Millions, of Bickley, was banned for 12 months and fined £1,000.
Colin Witcher, defending, said he “had a nice new car, which his mother will now be driving exclusively”.

The rapper has previous convictions for possessing heroin and cannabis in 2016 and possessing cannabis in 2017, plus a record of failing to comply with court community orders.
