Great evening for rapper Killer Mike took an unexpected turn when he was apprehended by law enforcement shortly after winning three awards at the 66th Grammy Awards.
According to Chris Gardner, a senior staff writer for the Hollywood Reporter, the incident happened during the non-televised portion of the ceremony held at the Crypto.com Arena. In a video shared on social media, Gardner captured the rapper being escorted away in handcuffs.
