Killer
Mike
should
be
solely
basking
in
the
glow
of
making
a
perfect
sweep
of
the
categories
he
was
nominated
in
at
the
66th
Annual
Grammy
Awards.
However,
the
Atlanta
rapper
and
public
figure
was
arrested
at
the
venue
where
the
Grammys
were
held.
He
has
since
addressed
the
incident
while
focusing
on
his
new
trophy
haul.
Killer
Mike,
48,
notched
the
Best
Rap
Album
award
for
his
sixth
studio
album
MICHAEL,
and
the
Best
Rap
Song
and
Best
Rap
Performance
trophies
for
the
track
“Scientists
&
Engineers”
with
André
3000,
Future,
and
Eryn
Allen
Kane.
Shortly
after
winning
the
awards,
Killer
Mike
was
seen
in
video
footage
being
hauled
off
by
officers
on
the
scene
with
the
LAPD
stating
the
arrest
resulted
from
an
altercation
at
the
Crypto.com
Arena.
By
way
of
Hip-Hop
N
More,
the
artist
born
Michael
Render
issued
a
statement
and
urged
his
supporters
to
continue
running
up
MICHAEL
despite
the
setback.
“I
do
want
to
note
that
last
night,
my
team
and
I
fielded
a
number
of
calls
from
concerned
fans
and
colleagues
wanting
to
know
if
I
was
OK.
I
greatly
appreciate
the
concern
and
support,
but
I
am
better
than
OK.
As
you
can
imagine,
there
was
a
lot
going
and
there
was
some
confusion
around
which
door
my
team
and
I
should
enter.
We
experienced
an
over-zealous
security
guard
but
my
team
and
I
have
the
upmost
confidence
that
I
will
ultimately
be
cleared
of
all
wrongdoing.
Until
that
time,
keep
listening
to
‘Michael,’
and
keep
going
after
your
dreams,”
a
portion
of
the
statement
reads.
A
longer
statement
of
gratitude
for
the
Grammy
wins
by
Killer
Mike
can
be
viewed
below.
