Shortly after his impressive three-win sweep in the rap category at the 2024 Grammys, rapper Killer Mike found himself in an unfortunate situation.
Reports indicate that Killer Mike is facing charges of misdemeanor battery following a physical altercation with a security guard outside the Crypto.com Arena, where the Grammys took place.
Video footage obtained captures the moment when Killer Mike and his entourage attempted to bypass a security guard to enter the venue, especially as it was raining at the time. According to reports, someone initiated a citizen’s arrest against Killer Mike.
Senior staff writer for The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Gardner, managed to capture a video of Killer Mike being escorted away from the ceremony in handcuffs.
Efforts to gather more information have been made by Consequence, reaching out to Killer Mike’s representatives and the Los Angeles Police Department.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Killer Mike had a stellar evening during the Grammys’ pre-telecast ceremony, where he secured victories in the Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance categories.
