Jay-Z also took time to recognize late rapper and social activist Nipsey Hussle. He died last month after being shot in front of his South L.A. store, The Marathon. Jay-Z freestyled a song that saluted Hussle for his efforts in the music industry and the community.

One fan transcribed the lyrics to the freestyle.

 

 

His wife Beyoncé was also spotted.

The rapper didn’t hesitate to thank fans for their presence, pointing out that Avengers: Endgame was also a highly-anticipated show.  He said in the middle of the performance,

“Thank you all for being here. This means a lot to me. I know the ‘Avengers’ is playing in a theater down the block and all, but the Avengers aren’t even real.”
