Larry Hoover Jr. says Drake and Kanye West demonstrated the best way to lay a rap beef to rest with their reconciliation in 2021 after months of trading shots building up to the release of Donda and Certified Lover Boy. Hoover Jr. and J. Prince discussed last year's Free Larry Hoover event during an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, this week.
The event is where Drake and Ye first publically made amends following their beef, performing together on stage.
“So he seen that, just talking to ’em, knew that we had a relationship with Kanye and then with Drake through J,” Hoover Jr. said. “And he seen that we had this relationship but with the little stuff that he got to see, he seen that them guys was at odds and he would hear about other artists and stuff, you know what I mean, killing each other and going to jail over back-and-forth nonsense. So he was just saying, ain’t there something y’all could do to try to bring them together?”
The Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert was held at the Los Angeles Coliseum in December to help raise awareness for prison reform. Fans not at the venue were able to stream the event on Amazon Prime.
Hoover Jr. continued: “We put our efforts there and brought ’em together hoping that it would be a blueprint for the other artists to try to follow to look and see, like, if these guys can bring it together and put they differences aside and make money and enjoy life, maybe some other people will follow suit.
“Because there are way too many of these guys out here, you know, feeling like they’re living the gangster life when they should be living the millionaire life and they dying and losing everything when they just get to that position," he added." They should be enjoying and bringing other people up instead of going to jail and dying and their friends dying. I thought they became entertainers to get out the street. That’s what it’s supposed to have been about.”
