Arsenio Hall, who invited LL Cool J on Joan Rivers show (he was filling in) to be interviewed in 1988? The one who had Kool Moe D performing in 1989? NWA and the West Coast Rap All Stars in 1990?
He didn’t just give artists a platform to perform; he gave them a platform to talk.
Depends on what creativity means to you.
For me the most creative would be the one who has been able to constantly reinvent his sound, blend genres, make music in multiple genres and execute it perfectly.
For some others, they'll choose the guy who builds entire albums around narratives, characters, and themes and is able to turn his albums into experiences.
And others would choose the guy who has the ability to turn everyday concepts into something more complex and finds fresh ways to communicate everyday struggles, ambitions and emotions that resonate deeply with the listeners.
Where’s the beef? It’s cooked
Where’s the boy? He’s booked
Don't even recognize none of these
names at the top of the charts, I looked
Am I upset? A bit

Yes. He’s the most famous entertainer in history.
All of the entertainers you mentioned can sit courtside at a NBA game. Michael Jackson could not. @MagicJohnson told the story of how he invited MJ to a Lakers game and it created so much chaos, they had to stop the game. MJ had to leave because fans were leaving their seats to try to get to him.
None of the people you mentioned have that level of fame where they can’t attend public events.
BAM ADEBAYO: "To have 83 the first game she's here is very special... the behind-the-scenes, the workouts, the conversations, they're very motivating, and obviously you see what she does... you get inspired by that. I'm thankful to have her in my life."
A'JA WILSON: "I see the countless hours, the early morning workouts, the questioning the self, I see all that... this has been an incredible journey for Bam... I know he says I'm his inspiration, but I don't think he has a clue how much he inspires me."
