Killer Mike was apprehended by the police shortly after clinching three Grammys. The LAPD confirmed the arrest, citing a video that surfaced showing the rapper in handcuffs at the Crypto.com Arena.

The incident occurred post-awards show in LA, with Killer Mike, also known as Michael Render, facing a misdemeanor battery charge. The LAPD disclosed this information on social media, while the Recording Academy deflected queries, directing attention to the police.

A video from a Hollywood Reporter journalist, just an hour before the Grammys broadcast, captured Killer Mike being escorted through the arena by a police officer. This unexpected turn of events followed his triumphant moment on stage, where he won for his comeback album "Michael."

Despite the arrest, Killer Mike's social media accounts remained active, celebrating his Grammy victories.
