The 2024 Grammy Awards was supposed to be a memorable night for rapper Killer Mike, but it turned sour for him.
The rapper, who bagged three awards on the night and was supposed to bask in his own glory, rather had issues with the law and got arrested.
Killer Mike, real name Michael Santiago Render, was detained by police just after receiving his Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 4. He is alleged to have been involved in a physical altercation.
The arrest occurred at Crypto.com Arena shortly after Killer Mike had been given his awards during the pre-telecast ceremony.
