Rapper Drake Pulls Out of Grammy Nominations Concert Kevin Winter / Getty Images Singer Drake performs at The Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on May 8, 2012 in Irvine, California. Rapper Drake has pulled out of Friday's Grammy Nominations concert because of a last-minute scheduling conflict. While Drake had been promoted as part of the show since October, his rep told TMZ that a scheduling conflict would prevent the rapper from performing. Drake "sincerely apologizes" to his fans that he can't be there, the rep said. But fear not. Friday night's concert will feature plenty of the music world's biggest stars. LL Cool J will host, with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Robin Thicke, Keith Urban, Katy Perry, Lorde and Taylor Swift all set to take the stage. The concert will be broadcast Friday night at 10 on CBS.
