However, Jay-Z changed up one of the lyrics about West
Beyoncé’s latest Cowboy Carter Tour concert was full of surprises.
On Sunday, June 22, Jay-Z made a surprise appearance alongside his wife during her final show at Stade de France in Paris.
According to the New York Post, the couple performed “Crazy in Love” and “Drunk in Love,” which they remixed with “Partition” during the show.
Jay-Z, 55, also performed “N—– in Paris” from his 2011 joint album with Kanye West.
According to fan-captured footage, the “Renegade” artist sported an all-black ensemble as he appeared alongside Beyoncé, 43, who sported a crop top and bedazzled pants with chaps.
Following their collaboration, Jay-Z took the stage solo to perform “N—– in Paris,” per fan-captured video on X.
During the track, he rapped: “Gold bottles, scold models, Spillin’ Ace on my sick J’s / Ball so hard, bitch, behave / Just might let you meet Bey,” replacing “Ye” with a reference to his wife.

The lyric change comes three months after the “Runaway” rapper shared a jarring post on X about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 7½-year-old twins Rumi and Sir to X.
In his since-deleted post, West wrote, “WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS,” before using offensive language and taking aim at Rumi and Sir’s mental capabilities.
According to Page Six, once West took down his tweet about Rumi and Sir, he reasoned he did so because of the “possibility” of his X account getting shut down.
Later, the publication reported he admitted to feeling “bad” about the initial post.
Over the years, West has come under fire for making repeated antisemitic comments and homophobic posts to his X account.
Beyoncé is currently in the midst of her Cowboy Carter Tour. She is set to perform in Houston on Saturday, June 28.
