As rumors about his inclusion in this year's Super Bowl run rampant, we have an update about Jay-Z's appearance at the Grammys. In Los Angeles, things are heating up as Grammy weekend is upon us. Our favorite artists across all genres have descended on Tinsel Town, and events are firing off across the city. With the ceremony approaching fast, The Hollywood Reporter also offered news about performances. They say Jay and DJ Khaled will be gracing the stage.
Hov and Khaled will reportedly perform their acclaimed hit, "God Did." The track comes from Khaled's album of the same name and also hosts features from John Legend, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Fridayy. It was certainly a standout on the record, as Jay's features are minimal these days. Already, fans are anticipating the epic display that only these superstars can erect.
