Billboard was able to get a chance to speak with J Prince to get more information on why Drake agreed to have a sit down with Ye at Toronto home and finally put the past behind them.
“I painted the bigger picture to Drake,” the Rap-A-Lot Records CEO explained. “I let him know that this is a moment and movement that can save lives. I believe by Drake and Kanye being an example, as two of hip-hop’s top artists, that lives would be saved.
“I believe this is going to be imitated and it’s important to be an example to those that look up to you and that meant something to Drake — just the life-saving event wrapped around putting the spotlight on injustice, prison reform, and my brother Larry Hoover. Everything is icing on the cake after that because he never envisioned things like that. So I had to tap into a power greater than the anger or whatever these guys had for one another.”
Prince also spoke on how he was shocked when he got a glimpse of how Kanye’s set might look.
“I was shocked and surprised last night when I went to the stadium and saw the stage,” he continued. “It seemed like it was about fifty feet high, and was covering the whole field. This is going to be a historical show and an enlightening concert.”
Even though the two are now cool, it still might be some friendly competition to see who controls the crowd better. Two amazing artists sharing the same stage Thursday should be an amazing sight to see.
