The rapper Killer Mike did not have time to celebrate his triumph at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles. The American artist was immediately taken away in handcuffs by the police after receiving three highly anticipated music awards (best rap performance, rap song, and rap album). The 48-year-old musician, whose real name is Michael Santiago Render, is a political activist and has been a past supporter of Joe Biden.
He was seen being led away in handcuffs behind his back by at least two officers and three other individuals. The reason for his arrest is unclear. Someone shouted “Free Mike” at the police.
The police’s intervention reportedly stemmed from an altercation that took place inside the arena, according to a law enforcement spokesperson. Taylor Swift also made history (and announces a new album). The artist was taken away in handcuffs by the police immediately after receiving the three music awards.
At the Grammy 2024, rapper Killer Mike was awarded in three categories, but then he was arrested. Especially notable was the mention of director Greta Gerwig and actress Margot Robbie, who were excluded from the Oscar nominations. Miley Cyrus, on the other hand, won the Grammy for the best record of the year with “Flowers.”
There was also an extraordinary success for Taylor Swift: the American pop star clinched her fourth Grammy for Album of the Year with “Midnights.” No artist had ever accomplished this feat in the 66-year history of the awards. Her name was announced by another great artist, Canadian pop star Celine Dion, who made a public appearance after being affected by a rare syndrome that impairs her muscle control.
Swift also surprised her fans by announcing the release of a new album of unpublished songs, “The Tortured Poets Department,” set to be released on April 19, “something I have kept secret for two years,” she said excitedly. *Corriere della Sera is also on WhatsApp. Just click here to subscribe to the channel and stay updated.
