JAY-Z Performs On Cowboy Carter Tour Days After Nicki Minaj Call Out, Paternity Lawsuit Drama

JAY-Z Performs On Cowboy Carter Tour Days After Nicki Minaj Call Out, Paternity Lawsuit Drama

Yahoo18-07-2025
JAY-Z hit the stage with wife Beyoncé this weekend for day three of her Cowboy Carter Tour stop in Atlanta, just days after Nicki Minaj lambasted the Brooklyn native online.
After first making an appearance at one of Beyoncé's Paris shows, Hov made his second Cowboy Carter Tour appearance in Atlanta on Sunday (July 13), where he joined his wife for their smash duet 'Crazy In Love,' before performing 'Public Service Announcement' from his 2003 studio album The Black Album. See footage below.
The appearance came days after Nicki Minaj called out the mogul for allegedly cheating her out of $200M based on a contract she signed for TIDAL, a music streaming service he has since sold to Jack Dorsey's Square. Minaj argues that, while she and 15 other artists were gifted a three percent stake in the service at its 2015 launch, she was only offered $1,000,000 for her share after the company was sold for $302,000,000 in 2021.
'We've calculated about 100-200MM so far. #JayZ call me to settle this karmic debt. It's only collecting more interest,' she wrote on X.
Minaj also called attention to Rymir Satterthwaite, the 31-year-old man who claims JAY-Z, 55, is his father, and has been demanding a paternity test for years. In response to his lawsuit, Hov's legal rep released a statement last week, calling Satterthwaite's claims 'fabricated.'
'The fabricated allegations and claims have been addressed – and rejected — in multiple other courts and [Satterthwaite's] continued harassment of [Jay-Z] and disregard of those orders has already resulted in a contempt order.'More from VIBE.com

Tyler, The Creator to Alex G: July's hits, headlines, and new releases

News24's Weekender playlist looks at the month that was through music, with Joel Ontong reflecting on the headlines and new releases. July saw top-notch releases from artists such as Tyler, The Creator; Alex G; and Tyla. Tyler, The Creator's somewhat surprise release DON'T TAP THE GLASS takes a more straightforward approach compared to his previous records. The rapper explicitly told his fans that he wasn't trying to make a concept album and just wanted to give them a collection of quality songs. Alex G's remarkably consistent discography continues with his new record, Headlights, which is stuffed with well written and produced indie-folk songs, injected with his signature quirk. Tyla has been teasing her mixtape We Wanna Party all month, releasing the singles IS IT and BLISS. She also made an appearance on Travis Scott's poorly received JackBoys 2. Coldplay were in the headlines, but not for their music. During one of their concerts, Chris Martin joked about a couple hiding their faces after being caught on the kiss cam, asking if they are having an affair. And, allegedly, they were. Hip hop veteran Lauryn Hill has been announced as a headliner of the DStv Delicious International Food and Music Festival, while the Hey Neighbour festival (which previously announced Doja Cat and Leon Thomas) has been postponed to December. Beyoncé has potentially joined the lost albums club, after her unreleased music was stolen. AI band The Velvet Sundowns also got more than a million listeners on Spotify, a first for a completely digitally generated band. We have not included any of their songs in our playlist and instead added the real thing, like Tame Impala and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Oasis made their grand comeback after a 15 year hiatus, kicking off their tour with a concert in Cardiff, Wales, on 4 July. The music world also said goodbye to a true giant of rock, Ozzy Osbourne. His legendary band Black Sabbath are one of the key pioneers of metal music, and you could even be forgiven for saying they basically invented it. Pretty Little Baby achieved online virality.

From Justin Timberlake's lackluster performance to Coldplay's 'kiss cam' scandal, concerts are making headlines this summer — but not for the music

Timberlake fans waited in the rain — and then accused the singer of giving a "soulless" performance. Each year, millions of people purchase tickets to see their favorite artists live in concert — and that number is only growing. And while Taylor Swift may not currently be performing, following the end of her nearly two-year Eras Tour, other stars, such as Beyoncé and Coldplay, are filling in the gap, attracting massive crowds and making headlines. But several recent concerts have made waves this summer for reasons unrelated to the music. In fact, some of the biggest pop culture moments of the season so far have taken place at concerts, from a major 'kiss cam' scandal to a pop star who doesn't appear to be singing much. Justin Timberlake gets called out for not singing Justin Timberlake has been known for his vocal range since his NSync days, which is why many fans were surprised to find that, during his recent world tour, he didn't seem to be singing all that much. Multiple videos posted on social media this month from different shows across the tour show the 'SexyBack' artist singing a few bars before holding out the mic for the audience to take the rest of a verse. During a July 17 performance at Transylvania's Electric Castle festival, fans who waited in the rain for JT later accused him of giving a middling performance. In an Instagram post, Timberlake thanked fans for attending the 'wild show' and 'rockin' with me in the rain,' but many fans expressed their disappointment in the comments. 'Not THAT wild of a show … and I'm a huge fan,' one wrote. 'The delay I got, I accepted it, but the part with you not singing even your most famous verses.. nope, I did not. Us in the crowd wanted to hear you sing the songs we played at home over and over again and danced on so many times, but unfortunately you did not deliver this time.' Another commenter wrote that they bought tickets to the festival just for Timberlake and 'waited patiently' for the show to start even after a 'big delay.' However, they wrote, 'something happened.' 'You did not click with the crowd, the show felt soulless and bored, ended abruptly and earlier,' the commenter continued. 'It was disrespectful towards the many thousands of people waiting for you. Too bad, could have been a nice evening.' Still, others defended Timberlake, arguing that it seemed clear — at least at the Electric Castle festival performance — that the Social Network actor was under the weather. Katy Perry almost falls out of the air midsong Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour has been endlessly memed on social media, with fans both delighted and baffled by the futuristic-themed spectacle. Some have called it 'messy, while others have found the show emblematic of the campy charm Perry is known for. But Perry's performance of 'Roar' during her July 18 concert in San Francisco inspired genuine fear from the audience when the mechanical butterfly she was hanging on to dropped unexpectedly. Perry handled the situation like a pro (and fortunately she held tight to the butterfly!), but the reactions made clear that aerial stunts are not for the faint of heart — whether you're a performer or just below one in the audience. Coldplay sparks a 'kiss cam' scandal During Coldplay's July 16 show at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, the band's frontman, Chris Martin, had some fun with the crowd while performing 'The Jumbotron Song.' When a couple showed up on the "kiss cam" and then ducked out of view immediately, Martin joked that they were either 'having an affair' or 'just very shy.' Turns out, Martin was correct. The internet did its thing and quickly discovered the identities of the people at the concert, the CEO of tech firm Astronomer, Andy Byron, and his chief people officer, Kristin Cabot. Both are married to other people. The awkward moment sparked endless memes as well as conversations about privacy in today's digital age. Beyoncé is left hanging after a concert malfunction Perry isn't the only pop star who was left dangling onstage due to a faulty prop. Beyoncé's July 28 concert in her hometown of Houston ended abruptly after the flying car prop she was seated in while singing '16 Carriages' malfunctioned, leaving her suspended and tilted in midair. After stopping the song, Beyoncé was eventually lowered and able to get out of the car safely. She even returned to finish performing the hit track from her Cowboy Carter album after a brief pause backstage. Solve the daily Crossword
