For those who eagerly made their way to Los Angeles for Grammy weekend, hoping to snag an invite to the coveted Roc Nation Brunch, you may have to wait until next year. It's become a tradition for Jay-Z's Roc Nation to host their annual pre-Grammy brunch the Saturday before the big awards show. However, sources have confirmed that the brunch will not be taking place this year, according to Page Six.
It's a disappointment for many who look forward to either attending or following along on social media to see which A-listers show up and what they're wearing. The brunch has been a staple event since its launch in 2011, with only a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It made a grand return in 2023, leaving fans eagerly anticipating a follow-up in 2024.
However, it seems like Jay-Z and Beyoncé will be showing their support for their friend and CEO of Sony Music Publishing, Jon Platt, at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala on Saturday. Platt is set to receive the Grammy Salute to Industry Icons Award, and it's no surprise that the power couple will be in attendance.
The Roc Nation Brunch has become a star-studded affair, with famous faces like Rihanna, Usher, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Janelle Monae, Kevin Hart, Megan Thee Stallion, Diddy, and many more making appearances. In 2019, The Daily News captured high-resolution photos of the event, showcasing the biggest names in music.
This year's brunch was highly anticipated, especially with Megan Thee Stallion's ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj. As a mentee and artist under Roc Nation, it was expected that Megan would attend, and many fans speculated that Nicki would not be pleased.
Social media was abuzz with excitement for the brunch, with fans eagerly waiting for photos of the "Megyonce" duo, as Beyoncé is fondly referred to, to be posted on Instagram. However, Megan was spotted at a pre-Grammy event partying with Victoria Monét, who is nominated for seven Grammys, including Best New Artist.
A video of Megan dancing on Victoria to her hit song "On My Mama" circulated on social media, adding more fuel to the fire. Interestingly, this party happened just after Nicki released her diss track aimed at Megan, titled "Big Foot." However, Megan has been busy promoting her upcoming tour and new album and enjoying the LA scene ahead of the Grammys.
Perhaps Jay-Z and Beyoncé decided to cancel the Roc Nation Brunch to avoid instigating any fan reactions to the ongoing rap beef between Megan and Nicki. In other news, renowned gospel singer Kim Burrell recently claimed that Jay-Z had called her after Beyoncé listened to her music for 11 hours during a rough patch in their relationship. But that's a story for another time. For now, it seems like we'll have to wait until next year for the Roc Nation Brunch to make its comeback. This news was first reported by Black Enterprise.
