Jay-Z and his Roc Nation record label will reportedly not host their annual pre-Grammy brunch party this year.
The rap titan’s company has been holding the exclusive bash since 2011, with the event making a comeback in 2023 after taking a two-year break amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But a source has now told Page Six the tradition will not be continued on Feb. 3, ahead of the Grammys on Monday.
No specifics were given by the insider, but they added, “The power duo will still be on the party scene.”
A-list guests at previous Roc Nation Grammys brunches include Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kevin Hart and Megan Thee Stallion, as well as Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé.
The source said the Carters are expected at music producer icon Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala on Feb. 3 to support their friend and CEO of Sony Music Publishing Jon Platt, who is being honored with the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award.
There are also plenty of other parties to make up for Roc Nation’s absence ahead of the 66th Grammy Awards, which are being held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Stars have also already started making the rounds this week at parties hosted by Amazon Music, Billboard and the Black Music Coalition, which paid tribute to producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at a dinner at Delilah on Jan. 31.
Producer Jermaine Dupri acted as DJ for the event, and Page Six said there was also a jam session with rapper Flava Flav and singer Tank performing the New Edition’s “Can You Stand the Rain.”
Other events leading up to the awards include MusiCares’ bash to honor Jon Bon Jovi as its Person of the Year on Feb 2.
Clive Davis will also host a gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, with a string of after-parties planned after the Grammys.
