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 incident took place September 21 when a GSP officer saw a white 2020 Ferrari F8 speeding northbound on Interstate 75. 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 officer caught up to the Ferrari and initiated a traffic stop, the report said. Yachty, whose real name is Miles McCollum, was then taken into custody. The Ferrari was released to Yachty's friend, according to GSP.

Yachty posted a video on Instagram Monday with a simple caption:"I'm not in jail." Read MoreWhile 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.

Black drivers matter!

So the man has a need for speed, who doesn't?

Meh as long as he didn’t put others in danger. If I had a expensive sports car im not going to lie I would test it out at least once. Give him a ticket and keep it moving people

I might have to call this 'fake news '. Anyone who lives and drives around Atlanta knows that you can barely do 20mph on I75 through the city with all the traffic.

Listen this and you will be driving over 200 mph

Stopped and searched purely based on his skin colour? DawnButlerBrent

To to europe and drive on the autobahn if you wanna go those speed's.

Play stupid games...

Who?

I’m seeing a lot of haters in the comments who have never even touched 120
