Jay-Z couldn't help but compliment his wife Beyoncé at the inaugural Fanatics Fest in New York City on June 20, and we were here for it.
Dressed in his signature New York drip – Timbs, relaxed fit jeans, and a navy tee repping his 'Reja Blue' label, Hov made his rounds through the convention Fanatics space. The 'Hard Knock Life' rapper interacted with fans, signed vinyls, and did interviews in a way we haven't seen him do recently.
And that's the moment that had everyone talking. Jay Z stopped to talk with a young boy journalist. Keep scrolling for the details of the adorable interview.
The budding media star asked Jay-Z a simple but loaded question: 'Who's your favorite artist you've ever worked with?'
No pressure, right ( on Jay Z or the tween reporter )?
Jay responded, 'Beyoncé.' The journalist followed up by asking why. Hov added that 'she is the best,' 'she is amazing,' and an 'incredible performer.'
Cue the collective swoon.
With his answer, Jay-Z not only melted hearts, but reminded us all how proud he continues to be of his wife's legacy. Beyoncé, currently lighting up stages and serving looks on her 'Cowboy Carter' tour, continues dominating music, fashion, and culture.
On June 19, during her Paris tour stop, she made headlines by bringing out Miley Cyrus for a surprise duet, sending fans into a frenzy and adding yet another viral moment to her growing list.
From the U.S. to London, Paris, and beyond, Beyoncé is raising the bar at every stop. Whether she's bringing her daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi onstage, showing out in custom couture looks, or pulling out surprise guests no one sees coming, the Bey Hive leader creates experiences. Her shows are part concert, part cultural reset.
No wonder Jay-Z proudly named her his favorite.

Beyoncé Wears a Wet-Look Minidress, Fringe, and Latex at Her Final Paris Cowboy Carter Show
THE RUNDOWN Last night, Beyoncé wrapped the Paris leg of her Cowboy Carter Tour and debuted a few new looks for the occasion. At the Stade de France, where she performed for three nights (on June 19, 21, and 22), Mrs. Carter brought French fashion to the stage in a gray custom Balmain minidress with a train, which was structured to look like wet fabric. She accessorized with sheer gloves, gold jewelry, a signature cowboy hat, and a long white coat. Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, posted a photo from the show of Balmain's creative director, Olivier Rousteing, posing in front of a screen that showed the look. In her caption, she wrote, 'I loved taking this photo of The incredible creative director of @balmain Mr @olivier_rousteing with his beautiful design of This dress @beyonce is wearing on the Cowboy Carter show tonight!' At another point in the evening, the pop star slipped into a burgundy latex leotard with matching chaps, a trench coat, gloves, and another cowboy hat. The artist also wore an all-silver outfit, a nod to the shimmery color that became an emblem of 2023's Renaissance World Tour. She wore a silver corset top with matching fringe chaps, the latter of which have quickly become one of her favorite wardrobe motifs on the tour thus far. Outfits weren't the only new additions to the Paris leg. On opening night, Beyoncé was joined by her shotgun rider, Miley Cyrus, for a performance of their Grammy-winning song, 'II Most Wanted.' Cyrus took to Instagram to celebrate the moment, writing, '@beyonce to be beside such a humble, gracious, legendary DIVA was a dream come true. Thank you for the opportunity to perform in Paris together & sing our song about friendship. To have learned from you & loved you my whole life, & then be standing together in matching gold looks is more than I could've imagined. As the finale to this trip supporting Something Beautiful, to close on something as beautiful as a stadium full of people singing 'II Most Wanted' with us was the ultimate firework. Thank you B. I'll be your shotgun rider for life. Big gratitude to the Cowboy Carter tour crew, you all were incredible for making this happen. Forever and always.' Beyoncé will return to the U.S. on June 28 for her two-night stint in her hometown, Houston. After that, she'll hit Washington, D.C. and Atlanta before wrapping the Cowboy Carter Tour in Las Vegas on July 26. And there's still time to get tickets—see how to here.
