Receiving five nominations this year may or may not have inspired Jay-Z’s return to the Grammys stage — but it’s clear that “God Did.”
Bringing music lovers to church Sunday, the 53-year-old Brooklynite rocked the mic alongside hip-hop heavyweights Rick Ross, 47, Lil Wayne, 40, rap newcomer Fridayy and singer John Legend, 44, on their DJ Khaled-produced collaboration “God Did” at the 65th annual Grammy Awards.
The smash hit earned three nods, including Song of the Year, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.
And the show-stopping showcase marked HOV’s long-awaited resurgence as a headliner at the awards gala, where he last performed “Drunk in Love” alongside wife Beyoncé, 41, in 2014.
But Jay — who’s earned bragging rights as the artist to receive the most-ever Grammy nominations (that is, before Queen Bey matched his feat this year with 88 noms of her own) — and the Recording Academy have not always seen eye-to-eye.
