This Friday, April 14th, Jay-Z is set to honor two iconic figures in art history when he takes the stage in Paris at the Basquiat x Warhol. Painting Four Hands exhibition. Roc Nation shared the news on their official website, inviting fans to join the ‘celebratory concert to pay tribute to Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat’.
This exhibition celebrates the mid-1980s collaboration between Warhol and Basquiat, and includes over 160 works created and signed by both artists.
As a long-time admirer of Basquiat, Jay-Z has often mentioned him in his recordings and even adapted his hair style to resemble the late eclectic artist.
The billionaire rapper is now worth $2.5 billion, making him the first and only hip-hop artist to reach this milestone. Although his friend and business partner Kanye West was unceremoniously dropped from the billion mark due to various controversies, the two have a No. 1 hit record titled ‘N**gas in Paris’, released in 2012. It is yet to be confirmed whether Kanye will be joining Jay-Z on stage this Friday.
