Killer Mike was detained at the 2024 Grammys after allegedly getting into an altercation with a security guard.
The rapper, whose real name is Michael Santiago Render, was seen being escorted out of the pre-show ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday after winning three awards.
He appeared to be cooperating with police officers while casually chatting with someone walking beside him in a video posted to X by journalist Chris Gardner.
Mike was led into a security room, with a source telling the Hollywood Reporter his detainment was a “big nothing” and he would likely be released within a few hours.
While the “Run” performer was handcuffed, he was not arrested, according to TMZ.
Reps for Mike were not immediately available for comment.
Ahead of the chaos, Killer Mike, 48, had accepted three out of the four Grammys he was nominated for.
