The annual Roc Nation Brunch pre-Grammy event is the event everyone wants an invite to and this year was no different. Go inside to see flicks of Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kelly Rowland, Lil Kim, Teyanna Taylor, Winnie Harlow, Tems, Lil Uzi Vert, and more living it up…
The annual Roc Nation Brunch pre-Grammy event is THEE event everyone wants an invite to ahead of music’s biggest night.
The coveted event, which takes place before the Grammy Awards, is a time for Hip Hop royalty to come together to mix and mingle while celebrating another year of #BlackExcellence in luxury. Some of the biggest names in music and entertainment gathered at the mountaintop estate in Brentwood for their annual pre-Grammy ritual of laughs, drinks, and catching up.
Futuristic glam! Beyoncé showed up and showed when she walked in, rocking a custom Gareth Pugh concoction to make her rounds to greet everyone in attendance, including Snoh Alegra, Tems, Chloe, and Halle Bailey. Mrs. Carter definitely gave off “Alien Superstar” vibes.
Beyoncé is a Grammy powerhouse, with a total of 41 wins and 88 nominations, tying with her husband Jay-Z for the most nominations in history.
This year, she is up for nine awards and is only three wins away from tying, or four wins away from breaking, the record for the most overall Grammy wins of all time!
