James Prince is an American music executive and a very powerful figure in the hip hop community. He has been instrumental in the careers of many hip hop artists including Drake.
The CEO of Rap-A-Lot has come forward publicly and has presented a bold idea for hip hop artists who’ve had negative experiences with the Grammy Awards in the past.
James Prince is suggesting for artists such as Drake, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, and others to host their own show the same night as the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
In his 3-minute statement, James Prince states:
“They cancelled Kanye and discriminated against Drake, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, and many others over the years. This will only be broken by us by uniting our powers…I recommend that the artists mentioned above and others come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network”
