In the midst of a momentous occasion where rapper Killer Mike [Michael Render] won three grammys, the Los Angeles Police Department detained Mike in connection with a “physical altercation” and he was taken to Central Division.
In an LAPD post, police said the altercation occurred in the 700 block of Chick Hearn Court. The police booked Mike on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. The street is named after the late L.A. Lakers announcer.
Mike was released on his own recognizance at about 6:37 p.m. with a Feb. 29, 2024 court date.
“You cannot tell me that you get too old; you can’t tell me it’s too late. You can’t tell me,” Killer Mike, who is part of the rap duo Run the Jewels, said after winning one of three Grammys. Mike won Grammys for Rap Album, Rap Song, and Rap Performance.
“For 20 years, I’ve been saying I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. … And here I am, doing it,” Render said with grammies in hand.
