Atlanta-born rapper and activist Michael Render, better known by his stage name Killer Mike, was escorted out of the Grammys in handcuffs after winning three awards during the pre-televised portion of the ceremony.
In a video posted to social media, Killer Mike is shown being led away from the award show by multiple Los Angeles Police (LAPD) officers at the award show venue, Crypto Arena. No official explanation has been given as to why he was arrested in such a public fashion, especially while the award ceremony was ongoing.
