Winning 3 Grammys wasn’t the only victory Killer Mike has experienced lately. If you’re unaware, the rapper won three awards at the ceremony, including Best Rap Album for his project “Michael.” However, he was also filmed being detained by officials amid the event.
The following day, his team reflected on the arrest, saying,
“The situation has been overblown but we are confident that the facts of the case, when laid bare, will show that Mike did not commit the alleged offense and he will be exonerated.”
Recently, Killer Mike talked about his walk with faith amid an interview with GQ.
He explained,
“Let me tell you something, man. I talked about this album being a return to the religious and moral principles I was raised with. And I just got to say, man, you’ll find yourself in a position where it’s just you and God. And I took a couple hours, man. I was just by myself, and I was just thankful I took time to thank God and to say, I appreciate the blessings you’ve given me. I spent time talking. I’m invoking the spirit of my grandmother and my mother and just saying, Look, I’ve done it. And after a few hours, man, I got out and I went partied and had fun.”
Shortly after being arrested, he obtained life-altering news regarding his son within a day. He expressed,
“And I was glad that I had used those three hours to be thankful to God and to be calm and to meditate. Because the very next morning, I got a call that my child, after being on the list for three years, finally got his kidney. And I can just truly tell you that God is real. And the same way Christ gave us an example of being by himself, of being tempted by Satan, I understand that a lot better now because I could have succumbed to anger or evil and talked sh*t. But I’m just grateful. I’m grateful. Not only that I won, but I’m grateful that God showed me within 24 hours that there’s something more important than even the accolades you’ve worked for. And that’s my family and my child and I’m just thankful. I thank Him.”
