Killer Mike, a US rapper, was detained and charged with misdemeanor violence after an alleged “physical altercation” backstage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, according to Los Angeles police.
The 48-year-old, real name Michael Render, was expected to be released from custody late Sunday, according to an LAPD statement. The performing artist was arrested shortly after winning three accolades at the music industry’s premier event, including his first Grammy Award in over two decades.
“On Sunday, 4 February, just after 4pm, a male adult was detained and handcuffed for a physical altercation,” Los Angeles police said in a statement released on Sunday night. He’s scheduled to appear in court later this month.
The suspect was arrested and taken to the LAPD Central Division,” the statement said, identifying Render by name and verifying that he had been booked on a misdemeanor battery charge. No more information, such as the identity of those who may have been involved, was revealed.
