Rapper Killer Mike was escorted out of the Grammys in handcuffs, hours after winning three awards on Sunday night (4 February).
The Atlanta-born rapper, real name Michael Render, was arrested and booked for “misdemeanor battery” after a physical altercation backstage at the Crypto.com Arena, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Footage posted to social media shows the 48-year-old in handcuffs while being escorted out of the ceremony. A voice can be heard saying: “Are you serious? What the f***?”
The hip-hop artist had won Best Rap Album for Michael, and both Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for ‘Scientists & Engineers.’
