Killer Mike will not be charged over his arrest at the 2024 Grammy Awards but will complete community service.
Prosecutors will not be filing charges against the Atlanta rapper over an incident at the awards ceremony where he was subject to a citizen’s arrest after a confrontation with a security guard, according to TMZ.
Mike has also agreed to take part in community service for a charity of his choosing, though he was warned by prosecutors that they can reopen the case if he finds himself in trouble with the law over the next 12 months.
Back in February, the Run The Jewels lyricist was booked for misdemeanor battery after he allegedly pushed over a security guard shortly after winning three Grammys.
“As you can imagine, there was a lot going and there was some confusion around which door my team and I should enter. We experienced an over-zealous security guard but my team and I have the upmost confidence that I will ultimately be cleared of all wrongdoing,” he told TMZ.
He later elaborated on the experience during an interview with The View.
Giving his opinion on what went down, Killer Mike said: “I think backstage was overcrowded, I think the winners were exuberant, I think security got overzealous and that’s all. It’s water under the bridge for me.
“I’d like to say, all of my heroes have been in handcuffs. Malcolm, Martin, Mandela, Medgar. I walked out with the same dignity and respect I walked in with. I would implore people to take that from it. Don’t dwell on the bad stuff.
“And the next morning, I spent three hours by myself and the police said we had never got this many phone calls, people are gonna protest, we’re gonna have to move you. They were all panicked and I was just sitting there and I began to invoke thanks.”
He added: “I thank God for bringing me where I was. I thank God for putting me in a space by myself and I got an opportunity to invoke the spirit of my mom and my grandmother.”
