Kanye West, along with special guest Drake, hosted the “Save Larry Hoover” Benefit at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in December, 2021. The concert was in hopes of freeing Larry Hoover, a former Gangster Disciples leader who was serving time in a federal supermax prison. Money raised from the concert was donated to nonprofits focused on prison reform.Hoover was serving 200 years for murder, and the nature of his case was complex as a result of his scale of influence and previous attempts to appeal. Kanye West appealed to former president Donald Trump to help Hoover.
The concert, which took place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, drew fans from far and wide to see two of the biggest names in music performing together. West performed many of his old hits, while Drake performed newer music from Certified Lover Boy. The show was ultimately a huge hit, with fans screaming and cheering throughout the show.
