Jay-Z Reportedly Set To Perform At 65th Grammy Awards

Jay-Z once said “And the winner is… HOV.” Well, the winner might actually be us if he actually performs at the Grammys. Reportedly he is returning to the stage this year. This will be his first award show performance in years, since we don’t really see him perform often as it is.

Beyonce’s Performed In Dubai, But May Not Perform At Grammys
This rumor circulates after his wife, the legendary Beyoncé, had her first performance since 2018. She not only sang but blessed the stage in Dubai for the hotel grand opening of ‘Atlantis The Royal.’ Although Queen Bey did receive some backlash from fans.

There is no talk of Beyoncé performing yet at the award show, even though 2022 Renaissance has nominations for Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance/Electronic Recording.
Jay-Z Nominations For 65th Grammys

HOV’s Rap Verse On God Did
HOV’s alleged performance will take place at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles. It seems that it will be during DJ Khaled’s set for Jay’s about four-minute verse on “God Did.” Many preaching it was his best verse to date, and according to his long-time engineer Young Guru it was recorded in one take.

Other Possible Performers
Supposedly Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Mary J. Blige, Dave Grohl and Brandi Carlile will be performing as well. However, the verdict is still out for big nominees like Bey, Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift.
