Kanye West and Drake Announce “Free Larry Hoover” Concert

November 23, 2021

After just officially squashing their beef with an Instagram post captioned with a single dove emoji, Kanye West and Drake have come to announce a one-off benefit concert titled “Free Larry Hoover.”

Larry Hoover Jr., the son of the incarcerated ex-gang leader, spoke excitedly about the concert and its message: “With Ye, Drake, and J Prince United to Advocate For My Father’s Release, We Can Take Our Plea For Redemption Worldwide And Show That We Are Truly Stronger Together On Behalf Of Any and Everyone with a Love One Wrongly Or Unjustly Incarcerated.”

Taking place on December 9th at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the event is to “raise awareness and support for Larry Hoover and the cause of prison and sentencing reform.”

“I Believe This Event Will Not Only Bring Awareness to Our Cause but Prove to People Everywhere How Much More We Can Accomplish When We Lay Our Pride Aside and Come Together,” West said in a statement.
