Breaking his silence on his arrest on Monday's episode of V-103's Big Tigger Morning Talk Show, Mike was clearly relishing in his victories.

"What had happened was...?" one emcee asked Mike, clearly alluding to the arrest news.

"Ain't nothing had happened was. I won them GRAMMYs, we slide, we partied all night," Mike said, laughing.

He regularly tried to change the topic, saying, "We winners, that's it," and adding of his sharp style, "Didn't I look good?"

Finally, Mike conceded, "We hit a speed bump and then we head back to the party, man."

When another emcee asked Mike if the arrest overshadowed his GRAMMY wins, the Atlanta, Georgia-based rapper shut down the comment quickly.

"We not even gonna allow you to ask that question. We're gonna get back to the real question — how did he do it? Three GRAMMYs," Mike marveled. "Thirty years in game, 48 years old, beat out everyone in the thang, man. He beat the best of the best. So all you can say is he one of the best. The best album in the 50th year of hip-hop came from Atlanta, Georgia, from a man who will be 50 years old in three years."
