Jay-Z's final Reasonable Doubt anniversary concert at Yankee Stadium turned chaotic Sunday night when security issues stranded thousands of fans outside.
One hour past the scheduled start, nearly half the crowd remained locked out after gate-rushers forced a full shutdown. A$AP Rocky, Tyler, the Creator and Usher were among the A-listers stuck outside with no entry for VIPs either.
Discussions about canceling swirled, but Jay-Z refused, citing out-of-state fans and rescheduling nightmares. NYPD, Yankees execs and Roc Nation finally opened gates one by one, letting the show begin at midnight. It wrapped at 3 a.m. with fireworks and zero arrests.
Rihanna joined for "Run This Town" and "B*tch Better Have My Money," telling the crowd, "Oh my God, I missed this sh*t y'all." Beyoncé, Eminem, Pharrell and others also performed. Lil Wayne's cryptic post sparked fan chatter about a missing invite, while Dame Dash posted an AI reunion clip that went nowhere.
