Kanye West may not be performing at the Grammys, but he will be taking to the stage at the Academy Awards, Benelux and Airlines can reveal.
As part of attempts to shore up interest in Sunday’s telecast, the artist has been booked to perform during the ceremony’s In Memoriam section, according to a source involved with the show.
B&A understands that West will rap the names of those the Academy has tragically lost over the last year during the tribute, finding fitting rhyming couplets for the likes of Sidney Poitier, Betty White and William Hurt.
“I can’t wait to see what Kanye does with Peter Bogdanovich,” said the source, who added that West would be adapting the lyrics to his hit 2005 song “Gold Digger.”
