Jamiesfeast – Killer Mike was handcuffed and led out of the Grammy Awards, only hours after winning three awards.
His real name is Michael Render, and he was born in Atlanta. His album Michael won Best Rap Album, and “Scientists & Engineers” won both Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song.
A video shared on social media by The Hollywood Reporter captured the moment when Render was escorted away from the ceremony by the police.
We have contacted Killer Mike’s representatives to get their comment, as reported by The Independent.
No one has provided an official explanation for Render’s detention yet. Chris Gardner from The Hollywood Reporter tweeted, “Just spoke to an official who tells me it’s a misdemeanor and has nothing to do with anything that happened today here inside the arena. Likely he will be released once it’s sorted. ‘It’s a big nothing.’”
Killer Mike took to Twitter to share his excitement about his wins, making no mention of the incident. In a tweet, he expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank God.” He also celebrated his success, exclaiming, “DREAMS COME TRUE – IT’S A SWEEP!”
The 2022 Grammy Awards are currently taking place in Los Angeles, and there are several standout nominees. R&B singer-songwriter SZA leads the pack with an impressive nine nominations, including Album of the Year, Best Record, and Best Song. Not far behind, Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and producer Serban Ghenea each have seven nominations to their names.
If SZA manages to win at least seven of the categories she is nominated in, she will break the record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night. Currently, Adele and Beyoncé share this record with six wins each in one ceremony.
The 66th annual Grammys ceremony is happening tonight at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah will be hosting the main ceremony, making it his fourth consecutive year as the host.
