KILLER MIKE AREESTED FOR MISDEMEANOR BATTERY AFTER WINNING 3 WHOLE A** GRAMMYS

The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Killer Mike on Sunday after he had won three Grammy Awards at the 66th annual event. The rapper and activist, 48, was involved in “a physical altercation” just after 4 p.m. local time on Chick Hearn Court, a street near the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles where the ceremony took place, and was taken into custody.

The real name of Killer Mike is Michael Render, and he faced a misdemeanor battery charge at the LAPD Central Division. His lawyer said on Sunday night that Killer Mike was out of jail: “He’s out and will be celebrating his sweep tonight.” Killer Mike received three awards at the pre-show event, which gave out several Grammys before the main show started at 5:00 p.m. PT. A video by Gardner on X/Twitter showed police taking Killer Mike away in handcuffs around 4:22 p.m. PT

Killer Mike swept all three categories he was up for: best rap song and best rap performance for his song “Scientists & Engineers” and best rap album for “Michael,” his sixth studio album that came out in June 2023.
