According to Chris Gardner, senior writer at The Hollywood Reporter, Killer Mike was seen leaving the Crypto.com stadium in handcuffs. He had just won Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for Scientists and engineersBest Rap Album by Miguel. As he was being escorted out of the arena, someone yelled, “Free Mike.”
went further reported that an official told someone on the rapper’s team that he could be released from the area later tonight. It was later learned that he was being charged with a misdemeanor. However, it is unclear whether he has been reprimanded in the arena or what he is accused of.
But it was determined that Killer Mike’s arrest had nothing to do with anything that happened during the awards show. “It’s a big nothing,” a source told Gardner.
Killer Mike Apparently Responds to André 3000’s Comments About Being ‘Too Old’ to Rap While Winning Grammy Awards
Just before authorities escorted him out of the Grammys, Killer Mike apparently responded to André 3000’s comments about being too old to rap.
During a November 2023 interview with GQ, André talked about how aging was a key factor in moving away from rap. “Sometimes rapping feels inauthentic to me,” he said. “Because I have nothing to talk about like that. I’m 48 years old. And I don’t want to say that age is something that dictates what you rap, but it kind of does.”
Then André said: “And things that happen in my life, like what are you talking about? “I have to have a colonoscopy.” What are you rapping about? “My eyesight is getting worse.” You can find interesting ways to say it, but…”
While accepting his awards, Killer Mike quickly addressed his age. “To all the people who think you’re too old to rap – bulls. I don’t care if you’re rapping about how many girls you got in the nursing home. Make sure you keep hip-hop alive.”
Killer Mike then thanked everyone who “dares to believe that art can change the world.”
“Thank you to Dré, thank you to Future, thank you to Eryn, thank you to all the producers here,” he continued. “But everyone in this room has a responsibility to continue using our imaginations to shape the world. You can’t tell me you’re getting too old! You can’t tell me it’s too late! It’s a sweep!
