*Killer Mike spoke to Big Tigger on his radio show Monday to discuss his encounter with police at the Grammys on Sunday.
In a clip that went viral amid the awards show, the rapper is seen handcuffed and escorted by Los Angeles police out of the Crypto.com Arena after allegedly physically assaulting avenue-security-guard, The Jasmine Brand reports.
Mike, whose real name is Michael Render, won three Grammy awards before his arrest. He was booked for misdemeanor battery “on a citizen’s arrest” and ultimately released on his own recognizance. According to The Associated Press, Mike has a court date in Los Angeles on Feb. 29.
Killer Mike won Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Album, and Best Rap Song at the 2024 Grammys.

“At 20 years old, I thought it was cool to be a drug dealer,” Killer Mike continued. “At 40, I started to live with the regrets and the things I’ve done. At 45, I started to rap about it. At 48, I stand here as a man full of empathy and sympathy for the things I’ve done.”
During his appearance on the Big Tigger Morning Show, the rapper and activist denied reports that he was “carried out” of the ceremony following an alleged assault on an area staffer.
“I wasn’t carried out of nowhere,” he said.
“We not even gon’ allow you to ask that question. We gon’ get back to the real question,” he continued. “How did he do it? Three Grammys, twenty years in the game, forty-eight years old, beat out everybody in the thang! He beat the best of the best. So, all you can say is he’s one of the best,” Killer Mike continued.
