On Beyoncé's upcoming performance, he said, "For her, it was important that she did a powerful performance that paid homage to that movie and what you see in that film."

"It's a story about two amazing young women who grew up in the streets of Compton and rose to the highest heights, to the apex of that particular field," he said of the film. "And I think she wants to celebrate that and in what she's going to do."
