AceShowbiz - Kanye West may be hitting the stage of the MGM Grand Garden Arena after all. It was previously unveiled that the Grammys pulled the "Donda" artist from the performer line-up, but a new report from HITS Daily Double suggested that the Recording Academy is having "conversations" with him about performing at the 2022 show.
Sources told the outlet that the Yeezy designer is one of the big names to entertain the audience at the Sunday, April 3 show, which will be hosted by TV personality/comedian Trevor Noah. Other artists who reportedly will also perform at the upcoming event are Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber as well as Lady GaGa.
Earlier this month, Kanye's "Eazy" collaborator The Game blasted the Grammys for removing the former's gig from the 64th annual event. The Game insinuated that the removal had something to do with Ye's racial slur at Trevor, who spoke against Ye amid his drama with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her current boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
"The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" host, however, surprisingly came into the "Famous" rapper's defense upon learning of the Grammys' decision. Taking to Twitter, the South African native penned, "I said counsel Kanye not cancel Kanye."
That aside, the Grammys just announced additional performers for this year's ceremony. The list includes J Balvin, Maria Becerra, John Legend, Silk Sonic and Carrie Underwood. Maverick City Music, Aymee Nuviola and Billy Strings, meanwhile will be performing "in special segments that will showcase Las Vegas and spotlight genres not historically represented on the GRAMMY Awards telecast."
Fans can also see Jon Batiste, Brothers Osborne, BTS (Bangtan Boys), Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish, Cynthia Erivo and H.E.R. at the 2022 Grammy Awards. Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, Leslie Odom Jr., Nas, Ben Platt, Olivia Rodrigo, Chris Stapleton and Rachel Zegler will also make appearances at the music's biggest night.
