On Sunday evening, the 2024 Grammy Awards were filled with excitement and surprise as US rapper Killer Mike, a member of the renowned group Run The Jewels, walked away with not just one, but three Grammys in the rap categories. The 48-year-old, whose real name is Michael Render, was on top of the world as he accepted the awards for best rap album, best rap song, and best rap performance for his track "Scientists and Engineers" featuring Andre 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane.
But unfortunately, Killer Mike's moment of glory was short-lived as he was unexpectedly arrested and taken into police custody by the Los Angeles Police Department. As the news spread, fans were shocked and concerned, with many wondering what had happened. Video footage posted on social media appeared to show the rapper being detained, while a voice in the background exclaimed, "Are you serious? What the f**k?"
A spokesperson for the LAPD later confirmed that Killer Mike had been detained for a physical altercation that had occurred at the 700 block of Chick Hearn Court. However, the good news is that he was in the process of being released as of the early hours of Monday morning. The spokesperson also revealed that the rapper had been booked for misdemeanor battery and was identified as Michael Render.
Before the unfortunate incident, Killer Mike had been seen on the red carpet, celebrating his triple Grammy win with his wife Shana Render. The rapper was all smiles as he proudly posed with his three golden gramophones, basking in the success of his music career. Little did he know that things would take a turn for the worse later that evening.
During his acceptance speeches, Killer Mike took the opportunity to give inspirational words of wisdom to aspiring artists. For his win for best rap song, he declared, "For all the people out there that think you get too old to rap – b******t." He went on to encourage artists to keep pushing the boundaries and keeping hip-hop alive. His messages of hope and inspiration continued as he accepted his other two awards, spreading a positive message to the audience.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Killer Mike's wins were celebrated by his fans and peers in the music industry.
