Jay-Z & Beyoncé Bless The Stage Together, Hov Sends Shots At Kanye
Kevin Mazur
Beyoncé fans at Paris' Stade de France got more than they bargained for during the final night of her three-date Cowboy Carter Tour stop, a surprise appearance by none other than Jay-Z.
The June 22nd show marked the first time The Carters shared the stage in concert since 2018's Global Citizen Festival, Mandela 100 in Johannesburg. The crowd went crazy when Hov joined his wife for their 2003 hit 'Crazy in Love,' which originally topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and remains a cornerstone of Beyoncé's setlist.
While the song is a tour staple, Jay-Z's verse has been notably absent until now. In the City of Love, fans witnessed a rare live reunion of the duo on one of their signature tracks. The surprises didn't stop there. Jay-Z stuck around for a sultry rendition of 'Drunk in Love,' uniquely remixed with elements of 'Partition,' making it the first and only time that medley has appeared on the Cowboy Carter Tour
The show reached a fever pitch when Jay launched into his solo hit 'N*ggas in Paris,' electrifying the stadium. The track, originally recorded with Ye for their 2011 ' Watch the Throne ' album, felt especially fitting for the occasion. While Jay was performing, he seemed to take a little jab at Mr. West. The 2011 song is a big hit from his album Watch the Throne with West, and usually includes the line, 'Just might let you meet Ye.' The Roc Nation mogul changed the lyrics and said, 'Just might let you meet Bey,' talking about his wife of 17 years, and left out West's name.
The reunion not only celebrated the couple's shared musical legacy, but also reignited excitement about their collaborative potential. For the City of Love, this wasn't just a concert, it was a moment, one that fans had waited more than six years to witness live again.

People Want Bianca Censori To Be 'Charged With Public Indecency' After Edible Candy Outfit Stunt
turned heads and raised eyebrows over the weekend when she stepped out in New York City wearing a fully edible candy bra and underwear set while accompanying her husband, . The 30-year-old model flaunted the colorful two-piece look, completing the jaw-dropping ensemble with silver pumps and a dark wig with blunt bangs. Meanwhile, West opted for a more low-key look in a gray sweatshirt and black pants as the couple headed into a local studio on Saturday. While Bianca Censori's skin-baring look quickly went viral, many fans were less than impressed. Social media lit up with criticism, with comments ranging from concern to confusion. 'Please stop,' one person pleaded. 'Has there ever been a woman who looks more miserable? Those are dead eyes,' another commented. Others questioned the legality of the look, with one user writing, 'How is she not charged with public indecency?' . The provocative outfit is just the latest in a string of risqué and headline-making fashion choices for Bianca Censori, who has become known for baring it all in public. Since reportedly reconciling with West in April after a rumored split, the Yeezy architect has returned to wearing next to nothing, often turning heads in sheer bodysuits, leather loincloths, fishnet tops, and more. Their brief breakup earlier this year reportedly stemmed from West's controversial behavior, including anti-Semitic social media posts and the release of merchandise featuring hate symbols. At the time, sources close to the couple suggested the relationship had reached a breaking point. 'She's been an awesome wife and awesome collaborator,' an insider told Page Six in February. 'She's been through so many crazy moments, but this one may be unsurvivable.' Despite the turmoil, the two appeared to patch things up by mid-April, even making headlines with a public visit to a sex shop. Since then, Bianca Censori has doubled down on her bold fashion and public displays of loyalty to West. In May, she drew comparisons to West's ex-wife, , stepping out in a sheer bodysuit and black wig. While vacationing in Spain, she wore another revealing look featuring a see-through top and high-slit skirt. The couple, who reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in December 2022, has shown no signs of dialing things down. In fact, West recently reposted a message on X (formerly Twitter) referring to Censori as his 'subservient extension,' declaring, 'Every man needs himself a Bianca.' This latest outing comes just days after news broke that Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly staying at a high-end mental health retreat as the rapper faces mounting legal troubles and renewed scrutiny surrounding his personal life and controversial public behavior. According to RadarOnline, court documents related to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former employee Benjamin Provo confirm West's extended presence at the clinic over the past few weeks. The retreat stay comes amid efforts by the embattled rapper to rehabilitate both his image and professional credibility. 'He's bleeding money and credibility,' a source told the outlet. 'He needs to prove to fans and the corporate partners he has left that he was off his rocker when spewing such filth, and going to rehab seems like just what the doctor ordered. Literally.' Before stepping out in New York this weekend, the couple has made occasional public appearances in other U.S. spots, including Miami, Texas, and Los Angeles. One of the most talked-about moments came after Bianca's spa appointment in Beverly Hills, where she stepped out in thigh-skimming shorts, a black zip-up hoodie, and heeled sandals. Kanye, sitting beside her, appeared distant and stone-faced, drawing widespread speculation about the couple's dynamic. The visual contrast between Bianca Censori's bold fashion choice and Kanye's subdued demeanor only added fuel to ongoing online discussions about their relationship, especially in light of West's recent repost calling Censori his 'subservient extension' and declaring, 'Every man needs himself a Bianca.' As the fashion stunts and controversy continue, fans remain divided on whether Censori's bold choices are an expression of art, submission, or simply shock value.

Jay-Z Disses Kanye West With Lyric Swap Months After He Publicly Disrespected His Kids
Months after Kanye West publicly disrespected the kids of his former friends Jay-Z and Beyoncé, it appears Jay-Z has fired back at his ex-collaborator. While hitting the stage alongside Beyoncé during her 'Cowboy Carter' show in Paris on Sunday, Jay-Z made a very noticeable lyric change. While performing his and West's 2011 hit song 'N—s in Paris' from their joint album 'Watch the Throne,' Jay-Z swapped the tune's original lyrics 'just might let you meet Ye' to 'just might let you meet Bey,' as seen in clips shared by social media users. As expected, social media users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to Jay-Z's shady, altered lyrics. JAYZ changing the lyrics to 'i just might let u meet bey' 😭😭 — ცɛα ⁴⁴⁴ (@HoviNation) June 22, 2025 Jay Z performing N—- in Paris without Kanye is delicious — Loud and Right. (@b0mbchell_) June 22, 2025 Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) and West, who goes by Ye, went from collaborating as tight-knit friends in the music industry to falling out over the last decade. The pair was once one of the most dynamic duos in hip-hop, but in recent years Ye has frequently made headlines for his controversial comments, including antisemitic statements shared on social media, and erratic behavior, subsequently losing multiple brand deals. Back in March, Ye was criticized by social media users after he posted ableist comments aimed at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's twin kids — Rumi and Sir. The 'Drunk in Love' collaborators, who tied the knot in 2008 also share daughter Blue Ivy. 'WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS,' the rapper said in a since-deleted tweet. 'THEYRE RETARDED NO LIKE LITERALLY.' Jay-Z has not publicly addressed Ye's comments about Rumi and Sir. The record executive previously broke his silence on his strained relationship with Ye while speaking with The New York Times in 2017. 'He's my brother. I love Kanye. I do. It's a complicated relationship with us,' he told the outlet. 'Kanye came into this business on my label. So I've always been like his big brother. And we're both entertainers. It's always been like a little underlying competition with your big brother.' Jay-Z added: 'And we both love and respect each other's art too … And then there's like a lot of other factors that play in it. But it's gonna, we gonna always be good.'
