Killer Mike Calls Grammy Arrest a “Speed Bump” While Speaking On His Wins [Audio]

Killer Mike’s epic Grammy night may have been interrupted by a now-viral arrest, but he is not allowing it to keep him down.

On Monday, the Atlanta star spoke with V103’s Big Tigger Morning Show, where he spoke about the incident. While he wouldn’t go into detail about what transpired, we now know that Mike was charged with misdemeanor battery after receiving three Grammy Awards. Still, he is unphased by the drama.

“I won a Grammy. We party all night. Shout out to my record label. Ain’t nothing had happened, man. But we winners. That’s it,” Mike explained before adding, “I went and picked up all the gold… We hit a speed bump, and then we hit back to the party.”

Mike walked away with Grammy’s in all three of the categories he was nominated in: Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his single “Scientists & Engineers” featuring André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane, and Best Rap Album for “Michael,” his sixth studio album released in June 2023. He received his honors during the Grammy’s pre-show. Sadly, his moment was interrupted when he was seen on video being escorted out of the Crypto.com Arena by LAPD officers in handcuffs.

His victory in the category of Best Rap Song also stirred controversy when the Recording Academy initially announced Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice as the winners before rectifying the error and rightfully awarding Mike the title.
