US EditionJay-Z Omits Kanye West's Name During Surprise Beyonce Duet in Paris
ÎLE-DE-FRANCE, FRANCE, JUN 23 – Jay-Z altered lyrics to exclude Kanye West during a surprise show with Beyoncé, reflecting ongoing tension after West's disparaging posts about their children, fans said.
- On June 22, 2025, Jay-Z joined Beyoncé on stage at Paris' Stade de France for her third Cowboy Carter Tour show, performing a sold-out concert to about 80,000 fans.
- The performance occurred amid ongoing tensions stemming from disagreements between Jay-Z and Kanye West related to their 2021 collaboration on the track "Jail," which previously led to public conflicts and an apology from Kanye.
- During the show, Jay-Z gave a live rendition of "N****s in Paris" but changed the lyric from "Just might let you meet Ye" to "Just might let you meet Bey," omitting West's name.
- Kanye West expressed that Jay-Z's demand to remove the reference to the 'red hat' on "Jail" "tore me to my soul," highlighting tension over the lyric and past grievances on X before deleting the posts.
- Beyoncé and Jay-Z continue to publicly display family unity amid the disputes, closing the European leg of the tour in Paris with a strong joint performance and plans to continue the tour in the US.
