Grammy Awards: Killer Mike allegedly injured a security guard by throwing him to the ground

Rapper Killer Mike injured a security guard at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, which explains why he was arrested after winning three Grammy Awards on Sunday.

The 48-year-old artist rejected this information completely in a statement transmitted to Rolling Stone.

The magazine reported that the rapper from Atlanta, whose real name is Michael Rinder, entered into a dispute with the security guard near the entrance designated for him. The woman told police she asked Render to show her his tickets to direct him to a security checkpoint. She claims Render tried to get around her and she was able to get back in front of him, and that's when he “pushed her to the ground,” according to a source.

A Los Angeles Police source said the security guard appeared to have suffered injuries to her hand and fingers.

She called for help and other security officers surrounded Rinder and then called the police.

Then a medical team took care of the security guard. His alleged injuries were photographed and Render was arrested for assault.

In his statement to rolling stone, The Render denies everything “As you can imagine, there was a lot going on and there was some confusion about which door my team and I should enter through. We encountered an overzealous security guard, but my team and I are confident that I will ultimately be cleared of any wrongdoing.

A source within the rapper's team added: “The situation has been blown out of proportion, but we are confident that the facts in this case, when revealed, will show that Mike did not commit the alleged crime, and that he will be exonerated.” .

Killer Mike, which was later released, won best rap album, best rap song and best rap performance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.

Double standards compared to Will Smith?

Rolling Stone In his paper, he recalls the incident at the Oscars in 2022, when Will Smith punched presenter Chris Rock in the face in front of the cameras, without being arrested. He was able to calmly return to his seat and continued to attend the awards ceremony hosted by his victim.

A source within the justice system said there is a “huge difference” between Will Smith's case and Killer Mike's case.

“Chris Rock didn't want to press charges, he didn't want to make an arrest. He was a fellow artist, and I think they sorted it out themselves. If Chris Rock had said, 'I want to make a citizen's arrest,' that would have been honorable.”
