Killer Mike Explains Grammys Arrest, Is Confident He ‘Will Be Cleared of All Wrongdoing’


'We experienced an over-zealous security guard,' Killer Mike said of his Grammys arrest. He's confident he will 'be cleared of all wrongdoing.'

Killer Mike issued a statement on his wild Grammys night, which included the rapper winning three awards and then being escorted out of the building in handcuffs. On the Atlanta-based Big Tigger Morning Show, Killer Mike said Monday of his Grammys fiasco: “We hit a speed bump and then we head back to the party, man.” Elsewhere in his statement, Killer Mike thanked the Recording Academy for recognizing the work that went into “Michael.” Killer Mike last won a Grammy more than 20 years ago, as a featured artist on the OutKast song “The Whole World.” In 2018, he was nominated as part of his hip-hop duo Run the Jewels for the “Baby Driver” soundtrack song “Chase Me,” by Danger Mouse and also featuring Big Boi.
