J. Prince Announces Plans To Host Concert With Kanye West, Drake, The Weeknd & More To Perform In Vegas On Grammy Night
Looks like J. Prince is taking matters into his own hands after the Grammys declared that they rescinded Kanye West’s invitation to perform at the award ceremony this year. Prince is calling on artist and streaming platforms to come together to “prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the #1 selling genre in music – Hip-Hop comes together”
“I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture, to their benefit, up close and personal for the past 30 years that I’ve been in the music business,” Prince began, explaining that executives, artists, and managers have largely complained behind the scenes “but never had the nuts to come together to do anything about it.”
“Even though the latest episode deals with Trevor Noah and the canceling of Kanye, this racist act is so much bigger than them,” he continued before describing the difference between the words “cancel” and “counsel” to the Grammys and “legal slavery” and “rehabilitation” to the U.S. prison procedure.
“If we begin with ‘counsel’ and ‘rehabilitation’ in the Grammys or the penitentiary, the truth is that they really don’t exist. They’re just fancy lies. On the other hand, if we look at the words ‘cancel’ and ‘legal slavery punishment,’ those words are true, real, and exist today,” Prince said before referring to the 13th amendment. He said by the constitution’s rules, those currently imprisoned and former inmates “are considered slaves in the United States and under its jurisdiction in 2022.”
“This background is important to know because of the mentality of those that control both — the Grammys and the prison system in the United States. This is a ‘slave-master-punish-a-n***a mentality and act’ to remind us no matter how much money we have, we are still n***as in their eyes,” he said, referring to their recent move against Kanye, and frequent snubs against Drake, The Weeknd, and Nicki Minaj are proof of larger racism in the Grammys.
