In a surprise twist, Jay-Z made an unexpected appearance at the 2024 Tony Awards in New York on Sunday night. He rapped his hit, a jukebox musical produced by Keys, featuring her songs.Instead of performing on stage, Jay-Z rapped from outside the venue via video.One fan joked, “Jay-Z was like yea I’ll come perform outside the Tonys, I’m not trying to hang out with theatre people….and I don’t blame him.
The musical garnered 12 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for Maleah Joi Moon, and Best Direction of a Musical for Michael Greif.Last month, Keys shared with her thoughts on the show’s success, stating, “This is all of our stories.” “That’s what I’ve learned creating and watching Hell’s Kitchen; that there’s so much that connects us all.Ultimately, we’re just all trying to find where we belong and who we are.”
Keys added, “It’s cathartic. You’re laughing, you’re singing, you’re crying – you’re a mess in this show.Jay-Z’s surprise appearance at the Tony Awards may not have gone exactly as fans expected. However, it certainly added an unforgettable twist to the evening.
