Killer Mike is reportedly suing the private security company behind his Grammys 2024 arrest.Today (February 4) marks a year to the day that the Run The Jewels rapper was arrested at the 2024 Grammys shortly after winning three awards – Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his song ‘Scientists & Engineers’ and Best Rap Album for ‘Michael’ – for allegedly shoving a security guard at the ceremony.In June that year, TMZ shared that prosecutors in the Los Angeles city attorney’s office weren’t going to be filing charges against the artist, real name Michael Render, and were told that he’d completed his city attorney hearing and agreed to undertake community service with a non-profit organisation of his choice.The L.A.

police department said that he’d been taken into custody concerning a physical event inside the Crypto.com Arena, and he was booked for misdemeanour battery as a result of the incident with the security guard.Render later told Pitchfork in a statement that he had “experienced an overzealous security guard” and thanked fans for their concern.

He went on to revisit the event in ‘Humble Me,’ which the Atlanta rapper released with an accompanying music video showing him rapping to the camera as police gradually removed his jewellery and handcuffed him.While reflecting on the February 4 incident and how he felt demeaned by it, he rapped: “I won at the Grammys for spitting my grammar / Did that for Atlanta, bruh / swept up like a janitor / Got sent to the slammer.”Now, TMZ has reported Render will be suing over the incident.

In his lawsuit, Killer Mike named the security firm working the Grammy event – S&S Labor Force Inc., also known as JRM Private Security – and said they gave their employees too much power,.
