Drake and Ye's Free Larry Hoover benefit show to be livestreamed
Los Angeles, California – Ye and Drake's beef might be officially squashed as the two are set to take the stage together during the Free Larry Hoover benefit show.
It looks like Drake might have some Friends in the Industry after all.
On Thursday, the Toronto, Canada native and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West will team up for a benefit show, all in the name of freeing Larry Hoover.
The event, which is aptly titled the Free Larry Hoover benefit show, aims to raise awareness for prison and sentencing reform while garnering support for Hoover.
On Tuesday, it was announced that the show will be streamed live on Amazon Prime Music, Video, and also on Amazon Music's Twitch channel starting at 11 PM EST on Thursday.
This marks Ye's first headlining appearance in five years, with his last being the Saint Pablo Tour for his 2016 album, The Life of Pablo.
Music executive J. Prince, born James Prince, confirmed the hip-hop icons' upcoming joint appearance at the benefit show in an Instagram post on November 16.
On Tuesday, Prince (57) told Billboard the idea for Ye (44) and Drake (35) to reunite stemmed from none other than Hoover himself.
"He planted the seed," Prince said. "He wanted to see Kanye and Drake come together in the name of peace."
This will also be the first time Drake and Ye have taken the stage together since the two put their decade-long feud aside to make amends.
Hoover is currently serving six consecutive life sentences for murder and gang-related charges dating back to 1973, though the 71-year-old maintains his innocence and continues to seek a lesser sentence under the First Step Act.
In July, Hoover's bid for a sentencing break was denied by U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber, with the Chicago Sun Times reporting the judge referred to Hoover as, "One of the most notorious criminals in Illinois history."
The Free Larry Hoover benefit show will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Thursday, with the livestream kicking off at 11 PM EST. The show will be available to watch on-demand the following day.
