Drake, who was billed as a co-headliner with Kanye West for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert, is now mysteriously almost entirely absent from the edit of the show that’s now streaming on Amazon Prime Video
A look at fan comments about the show indicates that the concert was still available as originally broadcast up until about 3 p.m. PT on Friday, the afternoon after the Coliseum broadcast. Soon after that, Twitter users began complaining that the show no longer appeared as an option on Prime Video, or even that the stream had abruptly halted in the middle of a viewing. On Saturday, fans noticed that the video had reappeared, sans Drake’s solo set.
Also not clear is how much money from the event will go toward benefitting Hoover’s defense fund or prison reform. A GQ article claiming that none of the proceeds from merchandise sales would be directed toward that effort was widely picked up and caused a media stir, given that the merch included items like a $200-plus Balenciaga-cosigned “Free Larry Hoover” sweatshirt.
The show also stirred some controversy over adjustable ticket prices, with some seats going for thousands of dollars at face value, before it was subsequently announced that the concert would be streamed live and for free on Prime Video. The video broadcast had the two performers just as obscured by constant, billowing clouds of smoke, but did offer better sight-lines and less chance of frostbite.
Still, the concert was generally well-received by fans both live and in person, partly for including a surprisingly healthy amount of West’s not-recently-performed hits, and the possibly one-time-only sight of the recently beefing headliners even covering each other’s songs, as part of their cheerful re-alliance. But if you weren’t watching Drake’s segment in something close to real time, you’ll just have to read all about it.
