At the 2024 Grammys, rapper Killer Mike, whose real name is Michael Santiago Render, was detained after an alleged altercation with a security guard. The incident occurred at the pre-show ceremony held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, where Killer Mike had won three awards.
Video footage posted on X by journalist Chris Gardner showed Killer Mike being escorted out of the venue while engaging in casual conversation with someone beside him. He appeared to be cooperating with police officers. Subsequently, he was led into a security room, but sources have described the incident as a 'big nothing' and anticipate his release within a few hours.
