J Prince urges Kanye West, Drake & Others to hold a rap show on the same night as the 64th annual Grammy Awards.
After being the mediator to squash beef between Kanye West and Drake last year, J Prince again requests the duo to come forward and boycott the Grammy Awards. The Rap-A-Lot Records founder shared an article of Kanye West getting removed from this year’s Grammys performers line up and called on Drizzy, The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj to boycott the annual award show.
“I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture to their benefit up close and personal for the past 30 years,” Prince said. “And all the artists, managers and executives would do is complain, but never have the nuts to come together to do anything about it.”
He continues, “This is a slave master, punish a ni**a mentality and act to remind us that no matter how much money we have, we’re still ni**as in their eyes. So they cancel Kanye and discriminated against Drake, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and many others over the years. This will only be broken by us uniting our powers to bring about change moving forward.”
“How do we bring about change? I recommend that the artists I mentioned above and more come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network and streaming platform to prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the No. 1 selling genre in music — hip-hop — come together. Because there’s power in numbers. The powers that be will be mad at me about this one. But f**k em! I love the culture. The seed has been planted… let’s water it.”
Previously, even after having a dominating 2020 with his record-breaking “After Hours” album, The Weeknd was snubbed by the Grammy Awards. “The Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency…” wrote The Weeknd at the time.
