It’s unclear why Killer Miker was arrested, but his arrest reportedly has nothing to do with the Grammys. A video on social media shows the rapper being led away in handcuffs by officers through the corridors of the Crypto Arena.
According to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, citing a member of stadium security, the rapper was arrested for “a minor crime”. The Los Angeles police are yet to comment. The rapper is expected to be released the same evening .
Killer Mike won Grammys for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance with the song ‘Scientists & Engineers’ and his record ‘Michael’ won prizes in the Best Rap Album category.
