Jay-Z and his Roc Nation company will not host their annual pre-Grammy brunch party this year, according to Page Six. The celebrity publication is reporting a source has confirmed the cancellation. The source did not, however, name a specific reason as to why.
The brunches have been held off and on over the past years due to COVID and other factors. Historically, Jay-Z’s brunch has fallen during the end of January or the beginning of February. This year’s soiree would have marked the 13th iteration.
