Fresh from his incandescent performance of “It Never Went Away” at the 96th Academy Awards, the highly acclaimed, multi-talented Jon Batiste heated things up, then tore them down at NYC’s Beacon Theater on Tuesday, March 19th.
The 5-time Grammy and Oscar-winning musician and former bandleader for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” is in the middle of his first North American headlining tour to promote his latest album, World Music Radio. Jon Batiste’s “Uneasy Tour: Purifying the Airwaves for the People” kicked off on February 16 in Portland, Oregon, will span the US and Canada, and culminate in Miramar Beach, Florida on April 27.
Batiste aims to create unique experiences even in smaller venues. As he recently told USA Today: “We are designing these performances to be catalysts to bring people together, raise awareness for things I care about, and inspire change in this country, and the world.”
These are fine days for Batiste. Last year, he was nominated in six categories for the 2024 Grammy Awards. His nods included Album of the Year for World Music Radio, Record of the Year for “Worship.” His other nominations include Best Jazz Performance for “Movement 18′ (Heroes).” Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his appearance on Lana Del Rey’s “Candy Necklace,” and Song of the Year for “Butterfly,” (also nominated for Best American Roots Performance).
Sadly, “Butterfly” didn’t win the Grammy but it sure was a winner with the audience.

Batiste transfixed the crowd with this heartwarming song of childhood. Almost a lullaby, it’s incantatory. There’s a repeated set of triplets – Oh-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh-oh . . . that Batiste urged the audience to sing together, saying:
“Everybody put your lights in the air. It represents the soul light.”
All around the Beacon Theatre people’s phone lights flickered as they sang along.
“Light that’s been with you since you were a child – Since the day you were born. You can never-ever lose it. All of us have it.”
“We can win, we can win, we can win, we can win.”
“Now you see I composed this melody, this healing melody . . . And the more you sing it with friends and family and complete strangers – The more the healing properties take effect – So sing with me this lullaby, this butterfly-healing-melody – first composed for my beautiful wife, Suleika.”
And, as the audience continued singing, Batiste was joined onstage at the Beacon Theatre by Suleika Jaouad, the author of the New York Times Best Seller Between Two Kingdoms – a chronicle of survivorship (Penguin Random House 2021).
Diagnosed with a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia in 2011, Jaouad was given only a 35% chance of surviving. She survived and has written and spoken extensively about these medical challenges. At the end of 2021, Jaouad announced the recurrence of her cancer.
Batiste and Jaouad have been a couple for a decade, but they officially tied the knot in February of 2022 a day before she underwent a second bone marrow transplant.
In the recent Netflix documentary American Symphony, a doctor advises Jaouad that although she’s technically in remission, chemotherapy might have to continue for the rest of her life.

As the audience sang to the couple, showering them with love, There were tears, laughter, joy, and smiles. This was no sentimental wallowing – Batiste achieves what he’s set out to do: encouraging people to seek peace and happiness.
Batiste is worth the attention he’s receiving – as anyone who saw him at the Beacon last night will attest. For the better part of the two-and-a-half-hour show, Batiste was playing and singing – dancing wild and free. Over the course of the evening, he demonstrated his mastery of the piano, melodica, drums, synth, and more.
Truth to tell, when you take an outstanding composer, voice, band, and a packed-out, loving audience then meld it with Batiste’s positive message about the power of humankind to effect change, you leave the venue with the feeling you can change the world.
And who knows? Maybe you can.
Want to catch Jon Batiste in the act? The singer will make stops in Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Toronto, New Haven, New York, Dallas, and more, on the 23-date run of shows.

The Barbadian singer Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are seen with their sons boarding a private jet in Milan, Italy. The 36-year-old singer wore a light grey hoodie and matching sweatpants as she and the 35-year-old rapper exited a large van before their flight.
She looked effortlessly stylish in a green and white trucker cap and ombré aviator sunglasses.
Rihana was also seen carrying a quilted leather handbag and a baguette-style tote with gold chain straps.
Rihanna rocks natural look with long brunette hair
The Diamonds singer Rihanna wore her long brunette hair down in a straight style and went makeup-free, highlighting her natural beauty. Her partner, Rocky, opted for casual attire, wearing a white graphic hoodie with a black vest design, khaki green pants, and black shoes.
Later, they were seen boarding the plane, with Rihanna carrying their oldest son, RZA Athelston, who is almost two years old.
Rihanna’s packed career: Music, fashion, and beauty success
The Grammy Award winner balanced dating with a busy career, recording eight platinum albums, winning various music awards, touring, being a style icon, designing clothes, and launching Fenty Beauty.
Despite past relationships, she now hopes for a lasting connection with A$AP Rocky.
The couple had their first son, RZA Athelston, on May 13, 2022. Less than six months later, they welcomed their second son, Riot Rose, after co-headlining the Super Bowl halftime show with Rihanna.
The celebrated pop-star told British Vogue before revealing her bump last year, “I’m open to anything. I’d like to have more kids, but I’ll accept whatever God has planned for me.”
The couple began dating over three years ago and made their relationship official in summer 2020. Their friendship blossomed into romance during Rocky’s time on Rihanna’s Diamond Tour in 2013.
Rihanna recently went to India to perform at the wedding of billionaire heir Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. This performance marked Rihanna’s first major live show since her Super Bowl performance last year and her first full concert in eight years.
MailOnline reported she was paid $6.33 million for a 90-minute set.
However, fans seem to criticise Rihanna on X (formerly known as Twitter) after footage of her on stage surfaced, saying she didn’t bring her best performance.
Rihana expresses love for India, and plans to return
In one clip, she sang ‘We Found Love,’ her 2011 hit with Calvin Harris, but barely danced.
Still, Rihanna delivered an impressive 19-song setlist featuring her biggest hits like B**** Better Have My Money, Work, All of the Lights, and Diamonds.
She left Jamnagar early Saturday morning and told reporters she can’t wait to be back.
“I love India,” she said before boarding her plane. “The show was the best. I haven’t done a real show for eight years, so I want to come back.”
Kelly Rizzo is not going to let haters dictate her life.
For those attacking her for moving on with Breckin Meyer two years after her husband Bob Saget passed away, the podcaster had a very apt and very detailed reply on Sunday. In a five-minute video posted on TikTok, Rizzo opened up about how losing a spouse is an individual experience and how it could be different for different people.
“Unless you are a widow or a widower, you truly have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this, because you do not know what it’s like,” Rizzo asserted in her video.
Kelly Rizzo is taking no criticism for moving on from Bob Segat; The Actress and Producer slams haters
In her March 10 video, Rizzo continued, “You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult, and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process.”
Sharing how widowers experience grief, guilt, and loneliness even months or years after a spouse dies, Rizzo said, “You feel guilty, you feel shamed, you feel horrible, but yet you also feel lonely, and you wanna do it [be with someone].”
For Rizzo, thankfully, she said she had the “support and love” of Saget’s family, including his daughters Jennifer, 31, Lara, 34, and Aubrey, 36, who encouraged her to start dating again; however, to her, it still felt wrong until a certain point in time.
“They’re telling you it’s ok, but yet you still feel really weird about it. In my situation, it was Bob’s daughters, Bob’s friends. They were saying, ‘It’s ok.’ so I’m like, ‘Okay, it must be ok.’ But you still need to feel okay with it and [have] peace with it in your heart,” Rizzo noted before adding that she “didn’t personally get to that point until well after a year after Bob had passed. And then I didn’t start dating until 18 months or so after Bob passed.”
“It’s not one size fits all, but there is absolutely no room for judgment. You cannot judge whether you’ve been through the same thing or not, it is not your place to judge because everyone goes through it differently,” the Eat Travel Rock host stated using the most straightforward language available.
She concluded the video by saying, “Bob is always gonna be a part of my life.”
When did Kelly Rizzo start dating Breckin Meyer?
Rizzo and Meyer were confirmed to be dating in early February after they stepped out together, hand in hand, from Steven Tyler’s annual Grammy Awards viewing party.
“It took a while to get to the point where I’m like, ‘ok, I think he’d be happy with it’” Rizzo told E! News at the party.
Days later, the two were again spotted hand in hand while out and about in Los Angeles.
In her Sunday video, Rizzo mentioned Meyer, saying, “I’m very fortunate that I was able to find someone who holds space for that and appreciates it and gets it, and is strong enough and confident enough to know that Bob’s always gonna be a part of my life.”
Bob Saget, best known for Full House, passed away on January 9, 2022, at age 65, after being found unresponsive in a hotel room.
“They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it, and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved,” the Saget family told Us Weekly in a statement back then.

Last week, Miley Cyrus won her first Grammy, and thousands of women booked their first Pilates class.
After the 31-year-old performed her hit single Flowers at the 2024 Grammy Awards, social media – and particularly our friends over on TikTok – have been obsessing over her arms. Namely, how does she get ‘em so toned? The search term “Miley Cyrus arms” has exploded over on the app, with fitness instructors curating specialist workouts such as “The Miley Cyrus toned arm workout”, “The Miley Cyrus arms workout”, and “POV: Miley Cyrus is your muse for today’s workout.”
And it’s not just on social media; several major news outlets have rushed to secure quotes from ‘fitness experts’ on how to achieve Miley’s exact muscle tone. If you weren’t already rattled, you may have spotted a few nutritionists weighing in on the matter, too.
From birth, we’re socialised to valorise celebrities at all costs – even (or especially) if that means changing our bodies to look more like theirs. Celebrities have always played a vital role in upholding diet culture: they set the beauty standard, we kill ourselves trying to reach it.
Although diet culture has been around for centuries, it flourished during the ‘90s and ’00s. It was a simpler, pre-Ozempic era where celebrities were thin, and the media – especially women’s magazines – brazenly created content about how to lose weight, fast. We were told that celebrities were “worryingly thin” and then given the instruction manual to look just like them.
What is diet culture?
Anti-diet nutritionist Christy Harrison defines diet culture as a “system of beliefs that worships thinness and equate it to health and moral virtue […], promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status […], demonises certain ways of eating while elevating others […], and oppresses people who don’t match up with its supposed picture of ‘health’.”
In 2024, diet culture is harder to pin down. Celebrities are still thin, but they’re also well. We don’t just want their bodies; we want their (apparent) health. As a child, I remember reading a women’s magazine feature about what famous women ate for breakfast; one woman answered something along the lines of “lukewarm water” as it made her feel “fuller for longer”. Could she have given that answer in today’s ‘body-positive’ climate?
In this era, celebrities are (mostly) still thin, but we’re encouraged to practise neutrality – or even, love – when it comes to our own lumpier frames. It feels particularly disingenuous, given the increased accessibility of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, which has surely contributed to the rise in celebrities dropping yet more weight under the guise of a balanced diet, exercise, and, above all, wellness.
The frenzied reaction to Miley Cyrus’ arms is not just a throwback to the unapologetic thin worship of the early aughts. It’s what happens when you’re fed on a cultural diet of ‘Love yourself!’ and ‘Doesn’t [insert extremely thin celebrity] look great?!’ Hence, we’re being instructed to change our body parts to look like those of disembodied celebrities – and admonished for not loving the sum that all these parts create: ourselves.
In her oft-quoted memoir, Bossypants, Tina Fey summed up the beauty standards of late ’00s like so:
“Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits.”
Whenever I come across this quote (usually on the depths of Tumblr), I’m struck by the mental image of a collage woman – perhaps created from the pages of those magazines at the hairdressers. To create a collage woman – the ideal woman, the beauty standard – you must chop up the images of other women, selecting your favourite parts and discarding the scraps.
Is this how we think of ourselves? As a cut-and-paste version of how beautiful we could look one day? What happens when we collect Miley’s arms? Do we start working on replicating Hailey Bieber’s legs? Worse still, what happens when we’re inevitably left with the same old body that we started with? What do we do with the scraps?
Obviously, there’s nothing inherently wrong with copying a celebrity’s behaviour to emulate their appearance – you do you! But in a society where the bulk of celebrities adhere to a Western, fatphobic beauty standard, it’s worth interrogating that desire and, at the very least, being honest with ourselves about what we really want to achieve. Spoiler alert: you won’t find the answers within diet culture.
After Universal Music Group, the largest record label in the industry, took all their artist’s music off TikTok after failure to reach an agreement on AI usage of their artists and safety…people are now more than ever looking into how artists are treated on platforms where their music is the main focus. For TikTok, it’s detrimental- they tried to punish UMG, and now they’re paying the price.
At the 2024 Grammy Awards this Sunday, there were tons of controversial moments: should Taylor have brought Lana Del Rey onstage, should this person have won, what was that person wearing? But one of the more subtle digs was taken by host Trevor Noah, who commented on the UMG-TikTok battle by including another well-known streaming platform,
“Shame on you, TikTok, for ripping off artists. How dare you do that? That’s Spotify’s job!”
Without artists and their music, there would be no streaming platform to be had…and Spotify knows that, which is why they’ve been tracking their royalty payments to the music industry though their Loud & Clear report. The Loud & Clear report comes out every March and shows exactly how Spotify pays it back. According to their site,
“Nearly 70% of that revenue is paid back as royalties to rights holders, who then pay the artists and songwriters, based on the agreed terms.”
This means that whatever Spotify is making from these artists and labels, and their music, they’re making sure it gets back to them. It should be a mutually beneficial experience: one where both the artist and their representation feels safe that their work will be valued and protected (and thus, properly compensated), and where the platform also gains traction from the artist’s fans.
Today, Spotify announced that they’ve paid labels over $9 billion to give us a glimpse of their Loud & Clear report. In an exclusive statement to Popdust, a Spotify spokesperson states,
“Spotify paid record labels and publishers – which represent artists and songwriters – more money than ever in 2023: $9B+. That figure has nearly tripled over the past six years, and represents a big part of the $48B+ Spotify has paid since its founding.”
NEW YORK — An average of 16.9 million viewers tuned in to see performances by Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish and watch Taylor Swift make history at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, the largest audience for the telecast in four years and another consecutive annual increase for a show that is recovering from its pandemic declines.
Ratings were up 34% on Sunday across CBS, Paramount+ and other digital platforms from last year, and with delayed watching included was expected to amass over 17 million viewers. The telecast peaked with 18.25 million viewers during the in memorium segment, with performances by Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox, Jon Batiste and Fantasia Barrino.
The numbers Sunday easily beat the 12.4 million people who tuned in to watch Harry Styles, Lizzo and Bad Bunny perform during the show in 2023, along with a tribute to 50 years of rap history.
That’s another year of growth seen under host Trevor Noah, who has hosted since 2021. Live viewership was 8.8 million in 2021 and 8.9 million in 2022. The numbers this year are closer to pre-pandemic levels: Music’s showcase night was seen by 18.7 million people in 2020.
The upward trajectory is in stark contrast to the fate of the Emmy Awards earlier this year: That telecast on Fox reached a record low audience of 4.3 million viewers.
This year, Grammy viewers watched Miley Cyrus powerfully belt out her megahit “Flowers, which won record of the year, and Billie Eilish’s gentle piano ballad from “Barbie,” “What Was I Made For?,” which was crowned song of the year. The album “Midnights” earned Swift her fourth career Grammy for album of the year, a record.
Live television viewership has declined across-the-board over the past few years, with pro football one of the few events to buck the trend.
The 66th Grammy Awards night shone brightly as Taylor Swift etched her name in music history. Women artists dominated the evening and the awards. CBS News’ Anthony Mason has a look at the unforgettable moments and milestones.

Last night, the 66th annual Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles. While there were many notable beauty looks to discuss, including Taylor Swift’s Schiaparelli Couture dress and Miley Cyrus’s “golden goddess” makeup, we noticed something that would have otherwise slipped subtly under the radar. Two Gen Z celebs walked the pre-show red carpet with classic nude manicures that were created with the exact same drugstore nail polish, and it’s only $12. As far as red carpet beauty moments go, this one couldn’t be easier to re-create. Keep scrolling to see each celeb’s manicure and the nail polish used and learn the exact steps it takes to re-create it.
Yoko Sakakura is the celebrity nail artist who created Rodrigo’s manicure. “Tonight, we decided to switch it up from Olivia’s usual dark and edgy nails,” she said in a press release. “OPI has the prettiest classic shades, and we specifically chose two of my favorite natural tones to capture the same elegant aesthetic as her cream dress adorned in crystals.”. She used OPI’s salon-only gel nail polish, but lucky for us, we can re-create the look at home using the exact same shades of the brand’s traditional nail polish. In other words, we can get the look without a UV lamp. Sakakura started by prepping Rodrigo’s nails, and then she applied a base coat and cured it. For our purposes, we’ll use OPI’s Natural Nail Base Coat ($12). Then, it’s time for nail color.
First, she applied a thin coat of the brand’s iconic shade Put It in Neutral, which is a pink-beige.
Then, she applied a thin coat of another iconic shade, Bubble Bath, over top. (This is a classic sheer pink and a Who What Wear team favorite.) Sakakura finished off the simple yet effective combo with a layer of topcoat. Again, she used the salon-only gel version, but we’ll use OPI’s Top Coat ($12). It’s as easy as that.
Sreynin Peng is the celebrity nail artist who created Madison Beer’s manicure. “Keeping it very classic, we went with two popular OPI shades, Do You Take Lei Away? and Put It in Neutral, for Madison’s nail look,” she said in a press release. “Madison has amazing nails, so we kept the same almond shape that she regularly sports, which can really elevate any nail look. This combined with the layering of the shades offered a timeless nail that perfectly complemented Madison’s gown.” Again, OPI’s salon-only gel nail polish was used, but we can re-create the look with the same shades in traditional nail lacquer. Just as before, we’ll start by prepping our nails and using OPI’s Natural Nail Base Coat ($12) to set the foundation for color.
Once the base coat was dry, Peng applied a coat of this muted beige onto Beer’s almond-shaped nails.
Then, she added a layer of Put It in Neutral over the top. The final step was to apply a topcoat. Again, we’ll use OPI’s Top Coat ($12). That’s it—four easy steps to re-creating a red carpet manicure.
We love this elegant muted rose.
This soft brown is so pretty.
Essie’s Ballet Slippers is another drugstore icon.
Chanel has some of the best neutral nail polishes.
2023 was all about the joy of girlhood, so it’s no surprise the biggest musical hits of the year were also for women and by women. Ahead of the 2024 Grammy Awards, women dominated nominations across categories. But the Feb. 4 ceremony celebrated not only women nominees, but also winners, performers, and presenters — at every age. From longtime legends to rising artists, women celebrated each other unabashedly in an industry that tends to emphasize youth and often pits women against each other. For the first time in years, an award show seemed to hit the mark on entertaining audiences across generations, striking the perfect chord between embracing nostalgia and highlighting newer talent.
Women nominees were up for every major category, and ultimately snagged the big wins, too. Phoebe Bridgers took home the most trophies with four wins, making her a first-time Grammy winner alongside Victoria Monét, Miley Cyrus, Karol G, and Lainey Wilson. SZA led the pack with nine nominations, and won two. And of course, Taylor Swift became the first artist in history to win Album of the Year four times.
While the wins were certainly worth celebrating, the performances are what made an impact and warmed nostalgic hearts. In arguably the most-talked-about moment of the night, Tracy Chapman appeared with Luke Combs to perform a duet of “Fast Car,” her 1988 hit that has since seen a cross-generational resurgence (one that she was not fully recognized for until last night). She hadn’t sung on live TV in years, and has rarely toured since 2009. Another standout performance came from Joni Mitchell, who performed at the Grammys for the very first time at 80 years old. The crowd was teary as Mitchell sang her 1968 hit “Both Sides Now,” her presence itself a triumph after she recovered from a 2015 brain aneurysm. Annie Lennox also made an appearance to pay tribute to Sinead O’Connor during the “In Memoriam” segment of the ceremony with an emotional cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U.” These legends got the visibility they deserved on music’s biggest night — and proved that it’s never too late to get your flowers.
The younger pop stars also delivered memorable performances, and seemed to lean into the empowering theme of the night. Cyrus kicked off the ceremony with a fun rendition of “Flowers,” a self-love anthem that earned her her two wins. Not to mention, she paired the performance with an homage to the late icon Tina Turner. Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo also gave raw, vocal-first performances of their hits “What I Was Made For” and “Vampire,” respectively, both of which reflect on the expectations young women face.
Even as JAY-Z accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, he brought 12-year-old Blue Ivy on stage and centered his wife, Beyoncé, in his speech, criticizing the Recording Academy for repeatedly snubbing her for Album of the Year despite her record-breaking number of Grammys.
Of course, there were other high-profile snubs (notably SZA and Lana Del Rey). Award shows can’t please everyone. But there’s no doubt women of all ages reigned at last night’s Grammys, indulging Gen Z, millennial, and Gen X fans alike and making us all feel seen. Witnessing legends and newcomers celebrating each other and themselves felt like a real step forward for all women.
In November, Dion, 55, was seen at an NHL game with her three sons, according to Entertainment Tonight. But in an interview published in December, her sister Claudette Dion opened up about the condition, saying Dion doesn’t have control of her muscles.
Stiff-person syndrome, also called Moersch-Woltman syndrome, is a “rare neurological disorder with features of an autoimmune disease that causes the body to become rigid and more sensitive to noise, touch and emotional distress,” according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. It can also leave patients with “hunched over and stiffened” postures.
According to Yale Medicine, there is no cure for stiff-person syndrome. The condition can be treated with therapies and medications like sedatives, muscle relaxants and steroids.
Some doctors prescribe immune-based therapies, believing they may slow the progression of stiff-person syndrome, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Immune therapies include intravenous drugs and plasma exchanges.
Some cases of the condition may result in higher levels of disability, and patients may need help walking, with some eventually needing a wheelchair.
At the Grammys, Dion did not use a walking device like cane to stand at the mic, but her 23-year-old son, Rene Charles escorted her out. “When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart,” she said.

After postponing tour dates, Dion decided to completely cancel her world tour in 2023 as she dealt with the condition.
Her sister said their dream is for Dion to return to the stage, but it is uncertain. “Vocal cords are muscles, but so is the heart. That’s what gets to me. Because it’s [a] one in a million case, scientists don’t have that much research on the topic, because it didn’t affect that many people,” Claudette Dion told the French news outlet 7 Jours in December.
Swift’s Grammy win for her album “Midnights” was her fourth in the album of the year category, the most for any artist. While some social media commenters thought it looked like she snubbed Dion — running onto the stage and hugging other collaborators before taking the award from Dion — the pair did take a photo together, smiling and embracing backstage after Swift’s acceptance speech.

Whether you actually tuned in for the 2024 Grammys or not, you probably saw what the biggest stars of the evening chose to wear. From beauty close-ups to full red-carpet breakdowns, my social feeds were alight last night with photos from every angle of the occasion’s attendees. But one thing that’s easy to forget is that Grammys night doesn’t end when the guests depart Crypto.com Arena. The party continues far into the wee hours, and at the next venue, a whole new slew of looks come out.
This year, there were a number of big Grammys after parties, including one at Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard that was attended by everyone from Sabrina Carpenter and Selena Gomez to Anya Taylor-Joy and Storm Reid. Hunter Schafer, Julia Garner, and more hit up another at Fleur Room, hosted by Billie Eilish. And yes, they all came dressed to impress. Scroll through all of the best Grammys after party outfits below.
Rapper Killer Mike was seen being walked out of the Grammy Awards in handcuffs Sunday night. Though it was not immediately clear why he was being arrested just before the Grammys broadcast began, the Los Angeles Police Department later released details about the misdemeanor charges.
In a video uploaded to X by The Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner, the “Run The Jewels” rapper was seen being escorted through Crypto.com Arena by police.

The LAPD said on social media that the rapper was taken into custody because of a “physical altercation that occurred at the 700 block of Chick Hearn Court.” They did not provide details on when that incident happened or what the circumstances were.
“The suspect was placed under arrest and was transported to LAPD Central Division,” police said in a statement Monday.
“The suspect has been identified as 48-year-old Michael Render and booked for Misdemeanor Battery,” the statement said, adding, “Render has been released on zero bail.”
CBS News reached out to the music star’s representatives, the Recording Academy, and the LAPD for more details about the incident.
Just a short time before being detained, Killer Mike, aka Michael Render, swept all three categories he was nominated in: Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Album for his self-titled 2023 studio album “Michael.”
He took the stage to accept them in the portion of the Grammys ceremony that took place before the prime-time broadcast began.

“I’m a Black man in America, and as a kid I had a dream to become a part of music. And that 9-year-old is excitedly dancing inside of me right now,” he said in one of his acceptance speeches Sunday.
Beating rap heavyweights like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Nicki Minaj, Killer Mike’s wins Sunday — which were awarded before the prime-time Grammys broadcast began — marked his first Grammy trophies in over 20 years. He previously won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 45th Grammy Awards for Outkast’s “The Whole World.”
“You cannot tell me that you get too old, you can’t tell me it’s too late, you can’t tell me dreams come true! It is a sweep, it is a sweep, it is a sweep!” he exclaimed after he danced around the stage with his third Grammy of the night.
Miley Cyrus won her first Grammy on Sunday evening for her smash hit “Flowers.”

“This M.C. is gonna stand by this M.C. for this, because this is just too iconic,” Cyrus said as she accepted the award.
She picked up her second Grammy later in the evening, winning record of the year, also for “Flowers.”
Cyrus scored six Grammy nominations this year, including album of the year for “Endless Summer Vacation.”
She was previously nominated for best pop vocal for her 2013 album “Bangerz” and album of the year for Lil Nas X’s 2021 album “Montero,” on which she was featured.

Taylor Swift did not let the lip-readers have it at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Remember the 2024 Golden Globes and the time of their life those so-called professional lip readers had on social media? They dragged Selena Gomez, Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and Taylor Swift into a made-up controversy where Selena asked Timothée for a picture but was apparently shooed away by his girlfriend and date for the night, Kylie Jenner. Selena, per the lip readers, later dished it out to Taylor Swift by walking up to her table which also seated Keleigh Sperry during a commercial break at the Globes.
The assumptions of what the besties were talking about got so out of control that the Love You Like a Love Song singer had to take matters into her own hands and present a clarification. “Nooooo, I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone’s business,” she revealed.
Taylor, one of the many parties of the controversy, seemed to have learned her lesson. The Love Story singer was seen using a fan to keep the lip readers at bay at the 66th Grammy Awards that took place on Sunday, February 4.
Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey recreate viral Golden Globes moment at the Grammy Awards
Swift who bagged two gold gramophones at the 66th Grammy Awards graced the event in a white Schiaparelli gown with a thigh-high slit. She paired it with black opera gloves and several glittering accessories. One accessory that served a much more important function than elevating Taylor’s OOTD was her fan. The songstress, 34, was seen using it every time she spoke to anyone at the award ceremony. This includes Lana Del Rey and her best friend and producer, Jack Antonoff. With the former though, Taylor was also seen recreating the viral and aforestated lip-reading moment from the Golden Globes.
Taylor made History and announced a New Album at the 2024 Grammys
In true Taylor fashion, the Midnights singer chose the biggest stage of music to announce her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which comes out on April 19, 2024. She announced her new album during her acceptance speech for the Best Pop Vocal Album. Later in the night, Taylor scripted history by winning the Album of the Year award for her latest album Midnights. With this win, Taylor now holds four Album of the Year Grammy Awards, surpassing any artist in Grammy history.

Bieber turned himself in at a Toronto police station on January 29, 2014, facing an assault charge stemming from an encounter with a limousine driver in December. But
