Rapper Killer Mike arrested at Grammys after alleged physical altercation

Killer Mike won three Grammys in the rap genre, beating out other titans, including Drake and 21 Savage, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice and Lil Uzi Vert.

After winning three Grammy Awards on Sunday, rapper Killer Mike was handcuffed and led away by police inside Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena over an alleged physical altercation.

Killer Mike, whose real name is Michael Render, was arrested for misdemeanour battery, according to a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department.

Though the details surrounding the 48-year-old rapper’s arrest are still unclear, journalist Chris Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter captured video of Render in handcuffs.

As Render was escorted away by police, several people called out to the musician. One man shouted, “Mike, are you serious? What the f—k?”

Gardner reported another person yelled “Free Mike” as he walked past.

According to Variety, Render was released from custody shortly after he was detained.

“He’s out and will be celebrating his sweep tonight,” said the rapper’s lawyer in a brief statement on Sunday night.
