Killer Mike has been placed under arrest at the 2024 Grammy Awards after accepting his wins for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album at the ceremony. The Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner broke the news on Twitter. The cause of the arrest is unclear; however, it reportedly has nothing to do with his behavior at the event.
“Just spoke to an official who tells me it’s a misdemeanor and has nothing to do with anything that happened today here inside the arena,” Gardner reported live from the venue. “Likely he will be released once it’s sorted. ‘It’s a big nothing,’ source says.”
