Police rushed to one of the 'UK prettiest drives' in the Peak District after a rapper blocked the road with a £300,000 Rolls-Royce to film a music video. London-born artist Tion Wayne, famous for his UK number one hit "Body," caused outrage when he was pictured blocking Winnats Pass while filming the music video for his new single, 'Streets A Lie'.

Tion, real name Dennis Junior Odunwo, who made an unannounced visit, was spotted causing disruption at Winnats Pass last month, which forced the police to intervene. This meant frustrated locals and motorists were stuck until he finished filming. The 32-year-old, also known as T Wizzy, says he "locked off the Peak District until the Feds came," sharing videos on his TikTok page of him dancing in front of a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. One video has so far gained more than five million views.

Drone footage at the conclusion of one clip captures the moment officers arrived on scene. The scenic route, hailed as "one of the prettiest" drives across Britain, links Castleton to Chapel en le Frith whilst weaving through spectacular limestone formations - making it a magnet for visitors just like Tion.

Derbyshire Police have since released a statement confirming their attendance.

The statement read: "We received a report on Sunday, October 19, just after 5.25pm about cars blocking off Winnats Pass, Castleton.

"Officers attended and the road was cleared."

Born and raised in Edmonton, UK, the rapper is the middle child of Nigerian parents; his mum is a nurse, and his dad is a computer engineer.

Tion was involved in a massive brawl outside a Bristol nightclub in March 2017. He was charged with affray after he was filmed on CCTV kicking the victim in the head, and given a 16-month sentence to which he pleaded guilty too.

"There were times when I thought, this music ting is done. But I'd be on a jail phone with my manager and he's telling me what the fans are saying on Twitter and Instagram," the rapper said.

He says music is what helped him put a new focus on life, telling the Evening Standard: "I'd worked so hard to get to the stage I was.

"But a lot of my past experiences clouded my judgment, and I wasn't really thinking the way I should have. But when I got out, everything took off, and it's the music that has taken me away from everything, made me reflect, and live the right life."
