Killer Mike Opens Up About Grammys Arrest: 'All My Heroes Have Been In Handcuffs'
HuffPost
The rapper was arrested mere moments after winning three Grammys earlier this month and charged with misdemeanor battery for a security guard altercation.
Killer Mike says his arrest at the 2024 Grammys has placed him in pretty good company.
The rapper and activist was led away by police after winning three awards for reportedly “knocking down” a security guard at the Feb. 4 ceremony, but continued his victory lap Monday on “The View” by telling viewers that all his heroes “have been in handcuffs.”
Although the rapper said that he can’t discuss his recent arrest too much since the legal matter is ongoing, he briefly spoke about the incident after “View” co-host Sunny Hostin brought it up.
“I think that backstage was overcrowded, the winners were exuberant, and I think security got a little overzealous,” Killer Mike said. “It’s water under the bridge for me, but I like to say all my heroes have been in handcuffs.”
“Malcom [X], Martin [Luther King Jr.], [Nelson] Mandela, Medgar [Evers],” the rapper continued. “I walked out with the same dignity and respect that I walked in with. And I would implore people to just take that from it. Don’t dwell on the bad stuff.”
