Music’s A-List will have one less party to attend this Grammy weekend.
A source confirmed to Page Six that Jay-Z and Roc Nation will not host their annual exclusive pre-Grammy brunch party on Saturday.
Roc Nation had been hosting the brunch since 2011. (The event returned last year after taking a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.)
Past guests have included Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Janelle Monae, Kevin Hart, Megan Thee Stallion, and, of course, Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
But we hear that the power duo will still be on the party scene.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of parties to make up for Roc Nation’s absence.
Stars have even already started making the rounds this week at parties hosted by Amazon Music, Billboard and the Black Music Coalition, which honored producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at a dinner at Delilah on Wednesday night.

Grammy darling Victoria Monét, who is nominated for seven awards this year, was also there, we hear.
Among other events leading up to the awards, MusiCares will honor Jon Bon Jovi as its Person Of The Year on Friday night.
