The biggest names in hip-hop collaborated at the Grammy Awards in 2023!
DJ Khaled’s nominated smash song, “God Did,” was performed on stage by JAY-Z, Rick Ross, Fridayy, John Legend, Lil Wayne, and other celebrities at the 65th Grammy Awards on Sunday.
Leading the way inside the Crypto.com Arena was Khaled, capping off an evening filled with celebrities. Then Fridayy, JAY-Z, Legend, Ross, and Lil Wayne joined him outside the arena.
The six hip-hop icons performed the song—which was nominated for song of the year, best rap song, and best rap performance—while purple neon lights lit up the street.
At one point, the musicians were seated for a buffet-style lunch while Legend played the piano.
At the end of the awards event and the concert, Khaled said, “It breaks my heart.” They don’t hold us in high regard. God did it. So we did a Grammys show for eight minutes. Respect the Academy.
Khaled’s self-titled album, which is nominated for album of the year, contains the song. Harry Styles took home the Harry’s House prize just before Khaled took the stage.

“I’ve always been a fan of his music and dancing moves. From business to fatherhood, to hold the highest position possible,” Khaled said. He seems to be really in love with music these days, and the way he blessed my CD makes me feel even more loved by him. It’s amazing how much it means to him. He has taught me so much and is both my brother and my friend.
