Killer Mike is taken away in handcuffs from Grammys after winning three awards: LAPD have not said why activist and rap star was taken into custody
Daily Mail ^ | 2/04/24 | Harriet Alexander

Rapper Killer Mike has been taken away from the Grammys in handcuffs following a 'physical altercation' after winning three awards.

The 48-year-old rapper, known for his work as a member of rap duo Run The Jewels, won Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his solo song 'Scientists & Engineers,' and the Best Rap Album for Michael.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department told DailyMail.com that a man was being questioned, but they could not confirm his identity.

'At 4pm an adult male was taken into custody for a physical altercation that took place inside the arena,' the spokesman said, explaining that the 'altercation' happened moments before the person was arrested. TMZ reported that Killer Mike scuffled with a security guard.

'Right now, the preliminary investigation is: he is being investigated for battery,' the spokesman said.

'He will not be identified until he is arrested and charged, if he is.'

As the rapper, born Michael Santiago Render, was taken away, someone yelled: 'Free Mike!'

Killer Mike is well known for his political activism. He was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders, and endorsed Democrat senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for his home state of Georgia.

Maybe a week or two will help cool him off.

Maybe if his parents had named him something less violent than “Killer,” his life would have turned out better. Maybe “Hyrum” or “Smiles.” Also, I wonder if he was the boyfriend of the Flip Wilson character, “Geraldine”?

“””LAPD have not said why activist and rap star was taken into custody”””

I looked into the reason, it seems he only got the nickname “killer” Thursday night.

Your Honor, let the record show the defendant has named himself “Killer Mike” thus manifesting his own predilection for felonious assault.

Killer Mike's defense attorney:

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I ask you. Is this the face of a man who would get involved in an altercation? Are rap songs with titles like 'C-I-L-L the Landlord' and 'Down with Whitey' the artistic product of a man capable of committing violence? Is 'Killer Mike' the name of the kind of man who would brawl in public?"

Regards,

Rap/HipHip is NOT music.
Rap/HipHip is vile, ugly hate speech

1963 Communist Goals Entered into Congressional Record
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
