United Kingdom, Feb. 4 -- Killer Mike has sued the security firms hired for the 2024 Grammys, claiming he was "unlawfully detained" when they put him under citizen's arrest under false pretences.

The 49-year-old rap star was led away in handcuffs after winning three gongs at the pre-telecast prize-giving at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last February, and was booked on a misdemeanour charge, which was later dropped.

The incident meant he was unable to present an award at the ceremony as he was placed in police custody.

A year on, court documents obtained by TMZ, show he is now seeking damages from S+S Labor Force Inc. and JRM Private Security for causing him "public embarrassment, distress and professional harm".
