Killer Mike Will Not Face Charges Over Grammy Arrest

“Mr. Render has successfully completed the Office’s Hearing process, including a community service requirement that was imposed,” a spokesperson for L.A. City Attorney’s Office said.

On Wednesday (June 26), TMZ exclusively reported that Killer Mike, whose real name is ​​Michael Santiago Render, will not face any charges for his arrest at the Grammy Awards.

“Mr. Render has successfully completed the Office’s Hearing process, including a community service requirement that was imposed. We have no further comment at this time,” Ivor Pine, a spokesperson for the L.A. City Attorney’s Office said in a statement.

In February, Killer Mike won three awards at the 2024 Grammys – Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album for Michael – but his celebration was interrupted following a scuffle with a security guard outside of Crypto.com Arena. 

Two days after the incident, the Atlanta native released a statement. “As you can imagine, there was a lot going and 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,” he said.
