It is now reported that he was taken into police custody due to a physical altercation with a security guard before the big event. Police sources confirmed the information to TMZ.

After seeing the situation unfold in videos posted on X, Ice T spoke out in support of Killer Mike. “Homie just won 3 Grammy Awards,” declared Ice T. “The LAPD is cold-blooded… They could have at least waited until he got out or was at his hotel. It is said to be a misdemeanor…This is that EXTRA nonsense…smh.”
