Rapper Killer Mike stirred up a significant buzz on the internet when he was arrested at the 2024 Grammy Awards shortly after accepting his awards.

The artist was escorted out of the venue with his hands cuffed behind his back, sparking a heated debate on social media. Many users criticized the Grammys for allowing such an incident to occur and questioned the circumstances surrounding the rapper's arrest.

According to the Daily Mail, Mike made headlines as he was escorted away from the Grammys in handcuffs following an alleged 'physical altercation' after winning three awards.

The acclaimed rapper from 'Run The Jewels' won big at the Grammys, taking home Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance for 'Scientists & Engineers', and Best Rap Album for 'Michael'.

As per the Daily Mail, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department informed them that an adult male, without confirming his identity, was undergoing questioning. Subsequently, TMZ revealed that he had been booked for battery on a citizen's arrest.

The LAPD spokesperson stated, "At 4 pm, an adult male was taken into custody for a physical altercation that took place inside the arena. Right now, the preliminary investigation is: he is being investigated for battery."

The spokesperson emphasized that the individual would not be identified until arrested and charged. TMZ reported an altercation involving Killer Mike and a security guard moments before his arrest.

Video footage obtained by TMZ captured the rapper engaging in a heated exchange with security guards while walking in the rain, with someone holding an umbrella over his head. The clip indicated that Killer Mike knocked down a security guard as he attempted to leave.

The rapper seemed determined to bypass the security team, leading to a dispute where he pushed a security guard on the shoulder while trying to maneuver around him.

According to TMZ, shortly after this incident, the rapper was seen being handcuffed. Killer Mike was brought back into the arena for questioning, prompting someone to shout, "Free Mike!" As of now, the rapper has not issued a statement regarding the arrest.

Internet says Killer Mike's arrest seems 'fishy' A user said, "I don't what happened here, but, Will Smith assaulted someone on live television and then went to a dance party. Looks fishy."

Another wrote, "I heard he rapped something bad about Biden."

Someone else commented, "They are going after all of the Trump supporters that can influence black votes. Buckle down folks."

Another said, "Bro got arrested for winning too much."

Burn down a Wendy’s, cool.

“pushed a security guard on the shoulder” and that’s an arrest, if your a free thinking black man who won’t toe the big house line.

I don’t know if he is a Trump supporter but he does refuse to endorse Biden over Trump.

Comedian Bill Maher seemed taken aback when rapper Killer Mike declined to endorse President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump during Friday’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Dude, it’s not that he was too cowardly to actually state his intent to support PDJT, its that he DIDN’T praise bish*t when he had the chance. That is a crime nearly as bad.

Or maybe any publicity is good publicity and getting arrested as a rapper is just upping your creds. Maybe he staged it.

He’s a rappist, not a politician.

The line here has always been “shut up and sing”. Or, in his case, “shut up and rap”.

It’s false advertising. He shouldn’t be called Killer Mike, he only deserves to be called Assaulter Mike.

He’s also a coward. Saying who you support when asked is a “I don’t do politics” or “so and so” question.

Fault of the interviewer for asking, as well, since it has zero to do with his singing or award shows. Unfortunately a large % of his ‘a belt can’t hold up ma pants’ fanbase likely would follow his recommendations regardless of his cowardice or ignorance since they themselves are too brainwashed and ignorant to know better.

He is an idiot. He would support Obama in a heartbeat, without realizing the Obama administration was the absolute worse thing that ever happened for Black America.

Again, it was a Black President who did more damage to the black communities since Johnson’s war on poverty. Period!

That makes this black rapper an idiot, so who gives a rats ass what he says or does?

The black vote will always vote for leftists. Until I see different, I could care less what the black community as a whole thinks or cares about.

Start fixing your own neighborhoods and stop expecting me to care, when they don’t care themselves.
