He should’ve done that when he was a thang back in late 90s/early 00s… but too bad ain’t no one invited him but his attention seeking wife at that day. I rather watching Maroon 5 or Black eyed peas
It would have been a good look 👀 if Kanye(YE) could have been a part of history being made but that factor is so out the window. With the crazy hurtful words and actions (ye) has done, disrespecting his family/children is a walk that can’t be walk back. With that being said, other potential guests could be any of the people I mention would be good. Nas, Dr.Dre. Pharrell, Kendrick Lamar, Cold play, Beyonce, Blue Ivy to play piano. Just a few names I can see.
Also Snoop Dog too
