Killer Mike detained at Grammys moments after winning three awards
The 48-year-old rapper from Run the Jewels was seen being handcuffed and escorted out of the ceremony at Crypto Arena by Los Angeles police
This is fucking disgraceful.
Killer Mike, who TDB awarded best album last year...
Best Album – Michael – Killer Mike – 6 stars
Killer Mike is one of the most important voices in modern America, from politics to culture to the personal, his flow is a force of nation and Michael is probably the best album of 2023. His intelligence, his art and his insights make for the best 54minutes you will spend this Summer.
…for the Police to wait and arrest him on some bullshit misdemeanour at the night of his highest artistic achievement is beneath his mana and dignity as an artist and as a black voice for social change.
Nothing highlights the type of racism alive and well in America than arresting a rapper on the night he wins 3 awards.
Disgraceful behaviour by the American Police and disgraceful that the Grammy’s can’t protect their own members from being raided by the cops!
His album is amazing, his awards deserved, his art is fucking remarkable and the American Police are an ugly cult.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Expect more of this to happen when Trump reclaims the White House next year. His contempt for blacks is well known. He sees them solely as criminals and drug addicts. Little more than apes. The most racist president in US history
Given that 12 ex US Presidents have owned slaves probably not even close to being correct . .
So what crime was he arrested for anyway? No one seems to know.
Existing while black. It happens a lot in the USA. People seem to think it is still the 1850’s.
Urinalbushrat He allegedly knocked over a woman who didn’t get out of his way quickly enough, after he won the awards; they couldn’t arrest him prior to the awards, as he hadn’t done anything then.
He’s guilty of rap, which is a crime against music.
Quite so!
That album wasn’t my favourite of his work but I’m glad to see him finally get a win at the Grammys, this is disgraceful conduct by the cops
