Rapper Flo Rida has been charged with driving under the influence after police in Miami Beach said they spotted his car driving erratically.

An arrest report says Flo Rida, whose real name is Tramar Dillard, asked officers to let him walk home after failing a field sobriety test early on Thursday morning.

According to the report, Flo Rida had blood-shot eyes and slurred speech. After his second attempt at trying to walk in a straight line the rapper said, "officers, I can't do this. I don't feel I can walk a straight line. I had a few drinks. Let's try another test. I live on the other side of the bridge. I can make it home," according to the Miami Beach Police.

The 31-year-old was charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license. He is being held on 2,000 dollars bond.

His debut song, the party jam Low, and Right Round both hit the No 1 spot in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
