After winning the Grammy Awards in February, popular rapper Killer Mike got arrested over his demeaning behavior. However, after his release from jail, he created a song called Humble Me through which he broke his silence about the incident and addressed it very meticulously.

On the night when he appeared at the BET Awards 2024 which took place at Peacock Theatre near the area where he got arrested earlier, he won the album of the year. On the same night, his song Humble Me was also released. Humble Me is his new single which he made as an epilogue to his last album Michael for which he won the Grammy.

How did Killer Mike address the incident in Humble Me?

At the Grammys, Mike was nominated in three major rap categories and even won all of them. But following his acceptance speech, he got arrested on a charge of misdemeanor behavior. He raps in his song Humble Me, “I won at the Grammys for spitting my grammar / Did that for Atlanta, bruh / Swept up like a janitor, got sent to the slammer bruh. 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 in pride.”

Killer Mike got into an argument with the Security Guard after a few days of his arrest. While reflecting on his time in jail, he raps, “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.”
