US rapper Killer Mike, also known as Michael Render, brushed off his arrest at the Grammy Awards as a minor setback on a night of triumph. The incident occurred when the Los Angeles police detained him over a reported physical altercation at the event venue on Sunday, according to BBC. Despite this hiccup, the 48-year-old artist dominated three major rap categories. Video footage showed Killer Mike being escorted out of the Crypto.com Arena in handcuffs by a group of police officers. He was later released, but still faces a misdemeanour battery charge and is scheduled to appear in court later this month.
During a radio interview in Atlanta, Killer Mike discussed his Grammy victories while avoiding questions about the arrest. He expressed his perspective, stating, “We hit a speed bump, and then we head back to the party. We’re going to get back to the real question: ‘How did he do it? Three Grammys – 20 years in the game!'” He emphasized that despite the arrest, they partied all night and remained winners.
Killer Mike received Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his collaboration “Scientists & Engineers” with André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane from his MICHAEL project, which also won Best Rap Album. During his acceptance speech, he highlighted his journey as a Black man in America and encouraged others to pursue their dreams, stating, “You cannot tell me that you get too old, you can’t tell me it’s too late, you can’t tell me dreams [don’t] come true! It’s a sweep, it’s a sweep, it’s a sweep!”
