Grammy–award-winning rapper and activist Killer Mike has recently dropped a music video for his new single ‘Humble Me.’ Through the lyrics he addresses his arrest at the 2024 Grammy Awards – he was arrested and booked for misdemeanor battery after an incident with a security guard. Months later, the Los Angeles city attorney’s office declined to file and pursue criminal charges against Killer Mike.
“Technically, I was not supposed to be here,” said Killer Mike in his Album of the Year acceptance speech at the BET Awards. “I was put in handcuffs, and I was marched out of this building, but I want to tell you, look at God because I’m back, baby. I’m back and I’m winning. I want to tell Black people that, because of BET, I’m back. Not ’cause of no white person calling nobody. A Black man runs this business, a Black company put this show on, and they got my Black ass back in here. Thank y’all.”
