KILLER MIKE DETAILS GRAMMYS ARREST ON POWERFUL NEW SONG 'HUMBLE ME'

Killer Mike has addressed his controversial arrest at the 2024 Grammy Awards on his new song “Humble Me.”

The Atlanta rap legend released the track after winning Album of the Year at the BET Awards on Sunday (June 30), which was coincidentally held at L.A.’s Peacock Theatre, the same location as his arrest.

Featuring Muhammad Ali on the intro giving a speech about humility, the song and accompanying black and white video capture the Run The Jewels rapper in a braggadocious yet reflective mood.

“I won at the Grammys/ For spitting my grammar/ Did that for Atlanta/ Swept up like a janitor/ Got sent to the slammer / Treat me like an animal or some kind of Hannibal,” he raps over muscular production from Tec Beatz, Cory Henry and Cuz Lightyear.

On the God-fearing track, he adds: “The Devil be doing you right when you doing it/ The Devil will ruin you/ Behind me Satan/ I walked out the door, my head up and handcuffs with pride.”

The song also sees Mike recalling his mental state during his brief incarceration: “I had to quiet my mind, I prayed and I prayed and I prayed/ The liars were lying their lies/ I kept on just keeping my faith/ The Devil put me on this whipping post/ The Lord did not lie on there with me/ So I went to sleep as free as can be and the next day my son got a kidney.”

It was recently confirmed that Killer Mike will not be charged in relation to his Grammys arrest, which came after an alleged confrontation with a security guard.

The rapper also referenced the arrest in his BET Awards victory speech after winning Album of the Year for Michael.

“Technically, I was not supposed to be here,” he said. “I was put in handcuffs and I was marched out of this building. But I wanna tell you, look at God because I’m back, baby. I’m back.”

He added: “I wanna tell Black people that it’s because of BET I’m back, not ’cause of no white person. A Black man runs this business, a Black company puts this show on, and they got my Black ass back in here. Thank you.”

“I’m moved and compelled to say this in this moment, a lot of people gonna say, ‘Who was he? Why did he get it?’” Mike continued. “I am a representation of one of the finest things God has ever made. And that’s one-half of the Black family.

“Black men and women, I am you. Whether you’re young, whether you’re old, whether you like me, whether you don’t like me, I am absolutely you, and this win is absolutely ours.”

How do those lyrics in Katy Perry's smash hit go? "Baby, you're a firework / Come on, let your colors burst"? Summer Walker and her new man, Coop Cashington, were certainly people "in awe, awe, awe" after sharing some pics from their night on the Fourth of July. According to The Shade Room, the Georgia born R&B star uploaded the recap to her Instagram, as well as her Story. The pretty fresh couple took a yacht out on the water, presumably to cuddle up privately and get a stunning view of some fireworks. Summer and Coop were patriotic with their beach-ready outfits as well. The "Playing Games" artist sported a cute matching white bikini set along with a same-colored lacey skirt cover and sun hat.

Cashington opted for a shirtless look but threw on some light blue swim trunks and a navy-blue Atlanta Braves flat bill cap. Both look extremely lovey dovey while sharing loads of smooches in addition to candid and plandid poses. Even though they appear to be enjoying each other's company under the night sky, fans are still not seeing how this is going to last long. The Neighborhood Talk's comment section was absolutely filled to the brim with skeptics, with one person writing, "She date anybody that DM her".
