Beyonce & Jay-Z

Jay-Z was so pissed over his Yankee Stadium show being delayed, he wouldn't talk to a soul backstage ... so says Memphis Bleek.

We got Memphis in New York City on Monday and our photog asked him what Hov was like backstage as he waited for hours to take the stage.

Much like his audience, Jay was not too happy about the delays ... after fans reportedly broke through a security checkpoint ... and his buddy Memphis tells us he turned into a "stone-faced killer" and wouldn't talk to anybody.

Memphis thought the function would get shut down if Jay didn't take the stage by midnight ... but Jay finally took the concert at 12:20 am ... over 4 hours after the scheduled start time.

Jeezy was supposed to perform in Las Vegas on Sunday night, and when he finally took the stage, he was across the country at Yankee Stadium ... and it's all because of Jay-Z.

The rapper pulled the plug on his scheduled residency performance at PH Live inside Planet Hollywood ... opting instead for a surprise cross-country trip to New York City, where he reunited with Jay during the legend's star-studded "Extra Innings" concert.

Folks back in Vegas were wondering why Jeezy's show was abruptly canceled ... and they got their answer late Sunday when the Snowman emerged onstage alongside Hov to perform their longtime collaborations "Seen It All" and "Go Crazy" ... sending the Bronx crowd into a frenzy.

Jay-Z brought out the big guns on night three of his Yankee Stadium shows ... because fans were in for an epic night when the "99 Problems" artist brought out Rihanna and Beyoncé to wow the packed joint.

The crowd went absolutely nuts for the guest performances, as shown in videos floating around social ... Rihanna, especially when she came out for "Run This Town." Beyoncé killed it with "Drunk In Love."

Of course, both superstars looked amazing ... Beyoncé in a glimmering Yankees outfit and Rihanna rocking a badass leather ensemble complete with shades.

Blue Ivy Carter and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban turned the Met Gala into a little bit of a rule-bending family affair ... and fashion's biggest night didn't seem mad about it.

The 2026 carpet was supposed to be strictly 18-plus -- a rule that's been in place since 2018 -- but somehow, these two high-profile teens slipped past the velvet rope ... and did it in serious style!

Leading the charge was 14-year-old Blue Ivy, who made her official Met Gala debut alongside her superstar parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Blue didn't just show up ... she showed out, rocking a cream strapless Balenciaga gown, plus gold heels, diamonds and a cropped bomber jacket draped off her shoulders like she's been doing this for years.

Let's not kid ourselves ... 14-year-olds aren't supposed to touch this carpet. The 18-and-up rule is simple, unless you have a workaround ... show up with A-list parents. And for Blue, one of them was basically running the whole thing.

Jay-Z is ready to run this town ... announcing Wednesday he'll be playing some massive shows in NYC this summer.

Roc Nation posted on X that the rap legend will be taking over Yankee Stadium for two nights at the end of July.

Jay's sets will celebrate some major milestones -- the 30th anniversary of his debut album "Reasonable Doubt" and the 25th anniversary of "The Blueprint."

An arrest has been made in the theft of unreleased Beyoncé music ... but the tunes are still MIA.

Atlanta police tell TMZ ... Kelvin Evans was arrested for allegedly breaking into an SUV over the summer and taking the superstar's super important property.

As we told you ... cops responded to a parking garage in July on a report of a theft from a motor vehicle. Two of Bey's crew members -- a choreographer and a dancer -- told officers the trunk window of their rented Jeep Wagoneer had been damaged and two suitcases were stolen.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have accomplished plenty of big things in their respective careers -- including becoming parents to three kids!

The singer and the rapper share two daughters -- Blue Ivy and Rumi -- as well as a son named Sir, and these kids have already been featured in their parents' music videos and promotional videos ... must be a fun childhood!

We're going to take a look into the lives of the performers' children and see what they've achieved over the course of their lives.

Beyoncé announced she was pregnant with her first child at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, when she showed off her baby bump after a performance of her track "Love on Top."

The hitmaker gave birth to her daughter Blue Ivy the following January, and the kid became the Guinness World Record Holder for the youngest chart entrant.

Blue's "breathing, cries and coos" were featured on Jay-Z's track "Glory" ... which made its debut on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart just a few days after her birth.

The kid also became the youngest female Hot 100 chart entrant after she was featured on her mother's 2019 track "BROWN SKIN GIRL," although she was eventually surpassed by a relative ... more on that in just a minute.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z revealed they were planning on expanding their family further when she shared a pregnancy announcement on Instagram in February 2017, which got over 10 million likes -- the Beyhive really latched onto that one!

The "Drunk in Love" singer gave birth to twins Rumi and Sir in June 2017, and the performer later described her pregnancy as "extremely difficult" in her 2019 film "Homecoming," according to People.

Oh, remember how we talked about Blue's world record a little bit earlier? Being the youngest female Hot 100 chart entrant was taken over by Rumi in 2024!

The youngest of Beyoncé's daughters was just 6 years old when she was featured as a guest artist on her mother's track "Protector," which debuted at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

It looks like the Carter kids are taking after their parents, because they've collaborated with their folks on several occasions over the years.

Blue's shared the spotlight with her mom a few times, and she notably danced onstage for a short portion of the first stop on Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour in 2023.

Rumi's also been featured onstage alongside her mother, and she made an appearance alongside Beyoncé and Blue her while her mom was performing "Protector," appropriately enough, at the opening night of the "Cowboy Carter" tour in April 2025.

Beyonce most certainly lived up to her nickname, "Queen Bey," during her Dubai performance Saturday night ... and we got the pics to prove it.

Check out these new images, obtained by TMZ, showing Bey in a yellow sequined gown with a feathered cape -- which was fit for a queen!!! She was surrounded by dancers in large red dresses and a Middle Eastern orchestra.

Bey then changed into a gold body suit with a matching corset and long train. She also wore a red dress with a different corset, stockings and gloves.

Safe to say ... Bey brought the house down at the star-studded event ... Kendall Jenner, Liam Payne and Ronan Keating were just a few of the celebs on hand.

Everyone got to enjoy Bey's 90-minute set that included her biggest hits ... "Crazy In Love," "Naughty Girl", "Halo" and "XO." The show ended with a huge fireworks display.

As we reported, Bey hit the stage at Atlantis The Royal hotel in the United Arab Emirates after an almost 5-year hiatus. The singer was paid a whopping $24 million to be the centerpiece of the hotel's launch party. Recording devices were banned, but many in the packed crowd didn't follow the rules and leaked footage of the event on social media.

The concert was also a family affair ... Jay-Z was present along with Bey's parents, Tina and Mathew Knowles.

Bey/Jay's 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, and 5-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir were there as well. Ivy even jumped on stage to perform a duet with her mom, singing a song from the album, "The Lion King: The Gift."

Beyonce and Jay-Z are still in the midst of celebrating the singer's birthday ... squeezing in some time for a private photo shoot too.

The pair hit the beach on the Italian island of Sardinia Saturday for a boat tour followed by some cute couple pics shot by a private photog. It's no secret, Jay is crazy about his wife ... and the photo shoot proves it.

Beyonce turned 37 last week, and the pair has been in Italy celebrating -- seemingly sans kids -- ever since.

The singer posted a message Thursday recapping 36 and sharing her hopes for the year ahead, saying, "I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of ten years. I came back home to the stage to do Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love."

A fan learned the hard way ... it may be fun to rush the stage during the concert of various musical acts, but when it's a Beyonce/Jay-Z concert it's serious business.

26-year-old Anthony Charles Thomas Maxwell caused a major panic Saturday night in Atlanta after racing to the stage and approaching Jay. Maxwell was being held on a $5,000 bond and has a court appearance scheduled for Monday morning.

Backup dancers chased the guy as he ran backstage.

Police came, detained Maxwell and wrote up a citation for disorderly conduct. He was not taken to jail ... just released.

Law enforcement sources tell us Maxwell made some sort of contact with Jay-Z, but we don't know how physical it got. Jay was not injured. As far as we know Maxwell never made contact with Beyonce.

Bey and Jay are in the middle of their "On the Run II Tour." Bey's rep says the incident will not impact or delay future shows, but security may be a little tighter in the future.

Barack and Michelle Obama were feelin' it Saturday night in Landover, Maryland ... standing up and showing some moves!

The former Prez and First Lady were in a box at the FedExField, where the Redskins play. They weren't really noticed at first, but that didn't last long. Bey and Jay had some serious competition, because when the crowd saw the Obamas the cellphones came out in impressive numbers.

Beyonce and Jay just returned from their Italian vacation with their kids.

Everything's coming up smiles for Beyonce and her 1-year-old babies.

Bey gave the world a really good look at the twins, Sir and Rumi, with a super happy pic. Jay-Z and Beyonce kicked off the U.S. leg of their On the Run II Tour in Cleveland Wednesday night, but based on what they're wearing ... this looks like a shot from their mega yacht last week.

The twins, who turned one last month, don't get nearly as much camera time as their big sis, Blue Ivy ... but, Mom obviously wanted to let 'em have their shine.

For Jay-Z and Beyonce ... the best kinda family time is maritime, and even their 1-year-old twins are already soaking up the luxury yacht lifestyle in Italy.

The Carter clan anchored off the Amalfi Coast Friday. All their kiddos were there too ... Blue Ivy and Sir and Rumi, who mom and dad took turns juggling on deck of the huge ship.

Bey and Jay got in some QT by themselves too ... chilling on a smaller vessel that took them to and from shore, while Beyonce snapped some pics.

How many stagehands does it take to rescue Beyonce from a malfunctioning stage in Poland?

We're gonna guess ... ALL of them, if they wanna keep their jobs -- but, yes, Bey and Jay-Z's On the Run II crew had to help her make a safe exit Sunday night in Warsaw.

The couple's floating stage got jammed in the up position at the end of the show, making it impossible for Beyonce to pull off a quick and graceful exit. Instead, they brought out a ladder to help her get down what looks like a good 10-15 feet.

She didn't seem exactly convinced it was safe. Can't really blame her, especially because she was descending while rocking thigh-high boots!
