According to the Los Angeles police, Killer Mike, a rapper hailing from the US, was apprehended after a physical dispute occurred shortly after winning three Grammy awards on Sunday.

According to a representative from the Los Angeles police, named Mike Lopez, someone was arrested due to an argument that occurred inside the Crypto.com Arena during the event.

Mr. Lopez stated that 48-year-old Killer Mike was arrested for a minor offense.

After his release, he has been instructed to attend a court hearing at the end of the month.

The footage captured at the location suggested that Killer Mike, whose given name is Michael Render, was taken away by law enforcement officials while restrained with handcuffs.

Soon after the rapper and advocate for political change received three Grammy awards, his initial triumph in two decades occurred.

The tune titled Scientists & Engineers, which highlighted André 3000, Future and Eryn Allen Kane, got recognized with accolades for being the most exceptional rap song and performance.

He bagged his third prize for the most excellent rap album with his creation named Michael.

Upon receiving his accolades, the 48-year-old expressed, "This recognition is dedicated to those who believe that one is too aged to engage in rap...we are the ones who sustain the existence of hip-hop. Always persevere in pursuing what you love, without hesitation."

According to people who were present at the stadium, someone was heard shouting "release Mike" as the rapper was being taken away.

Killer Mike has expressed his concerns regarding the challenges that black Americans face such as the unfair treatment by authorities and discrimination.

Taylor Swift had a victorious night at the Grammy Awards, as she made a groundbreaking achievement by clinching the best album award for the fourth consecutive time.
