From there, Killer Mike swept the rap categories by taking home Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance.
However, the rapper’s evening and Grammy wins were unfortunately marred by him being taken away in handcuffs amid the award ceremony.
At the time, the cause of the rapper’s arrest remained unclear. But hours later, reports surfaced that the rapper was detained due to an alleged physical altercation with a security guard.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has since corresponded with the rapper, who says he’s all “good” following the incident.
“Over zealous security, but I am good,” he said reportedly via text.”I’m good! Three Grammys good!”
