LOS ANGELES – Killer Mike is expected to avoid charges over a physical altercation that led to his arrest at the Grammys earlier this year after the rapper recently completed community service.
The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said in a statement Thursday that Mike “successfully completed the office hearing process, including a community service requirement that was imposed.” The rapper was escorted in handcuffs by police into the Crypto.com Arena in February and detained on suspicion of a misdemeanor.
Court documents show that Mike, whose real name is Michael Render, was never charged in the incident. Representatives for him did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
In some cases, Los Angeles city prosecutors may choose to resolve an incident without filing misdemeanor charges if a person meets certain conditions.
Mike said one “overzealous” security contributed to the altercation that occurred in the moments of joy after winning three awards at the Grammy premiere ceremony. It was his first grandfather in more than two decades.
Mike’s first win came after he won best rap performance for “Scientists & Engineers”, which also took home best rap song. The single features Andre 3000, Future and Eryn Allen Kane.
He also won best rap album for “Michael.”
When he received his third award, the Atlanta rapper shouted, “Sweep! Atlanta, it’s a sweep!
Mike’s last Grammy came in 2003, when he won “The Whole World” for best rap performance by a duo or group.
