Los Angeles prosecutors have announced they will not file charges against hip-hop artist Killer Mike, real name Michael Render, in connection to an alleged altercation at the Grammy Awards in February. The City Attorney’s Office stated that Killer Mike successfully completed a hearing process and community service requirement. The artist’s legal counsel also confirmed that criminal charges were not warranted.
Killer Mike had previously blamed the incident on an over-zealous security guard and confusion over which entrance to use. Law enforcement sources had alleged that the rapper pushed and elbowed a female event worker, leading to his arrest on suspicion of battery. However, he has now been cleared of all charges.
Despite the controversy, Killer Mike continues to receive accolades for his music. He recently won multiple Grammy Awards for his album “Michael,” and received the album of the year trophy at the BET Awards.
Overall, the incident at the Grammy Awards has been resolved with no charges filed against Killer Mike. The artist remains a prominent figure in Atlanta’s pop culture scene and continues to be recognized for his contributions to the music industry.
