On Monday (February 5) Killer Mike confirmed rumors that “overzealous” security led to his arrest.  

“As you can imagine, there was a lot going on,” he explained to TMZ. There was some confusion around which door my team and I should enter. We experienced an over-zealous security guard but my team and I have the upmost confidence that I will ultimately be cleared of all wrongdoing.” 

Sources at the scene claimed security refused to let Killer Mike backstage, and one of the guards apparently disrespected him despite him using one of the Grammy Awards as his credentials.  

Video footage surfaced online shortly after the incident. Security can be seen chasing Killer Mike before his arrest and detention. According to reports, he was booked for misdemeanor battery following a citizen’s arrest. 

Meanwhile, Killer Mike flew back to Georgia after receiving exciting news about his son. He learned the year-old was finally getting a kidney transplant after being on the waitlist for more than two years. 

“What sticks out to me the most has nothing to do with last night,” Killer Mike told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I woke up to a phone call that my son who’s been waiting on the kidney for the last two and a half years is on way to his hospital right now to get surgery, to get the kidney.”
