Will Beyoncé join Jay-Z on stage for his newly announced concerts in Paris and LA?

Dear Gossips,

Well I guess we know where Beyoncé will be on July 11-13, September 10^th, and October 23^rd. This is an anniversary year for Jay-Z. It was announced a couple of months ago that he would play two shows in July to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt on the 11^th and the 25^th anniversary of The Blueprint the following night – at Yankee Stadium. And blue dot fever was not a problem for Beyoncé’s husband; tickets sold so fast a third show, “Extra Innings”, was quickly added. The demand is not surprising. Jay is a Rushmore rapper, his shows at Yankee Stadium are basically, for hip-hop, a royal jubilee event.

Yesterday Jay announced that there will be more – two additional concerts in Paris at the Stade de France and in Los Angeles at So-Fi Stadium.

Also, he’s added the umlaut back to his name, which is how it was spelled back in 1996 when he released Reasonable Doubt. People were noticing this change a while back when he switched it on YouTube, an indication of what he was planning. This is considered not just one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time but one of the greatest albums of all time, period. And, looking back, it was a manifestation, Jay foretelling that he would forge a path from the streets to the boardroom. After all, it was the first album released through Roc-A-Fella, the label he co-founded, establishing from the jump that he would always be the CEO of his own music.

This, then, is why we were all clowning ourselves when we were thinking that maybe Beyoncé might have something to say at the Met Gala about act iii. Probably not when Jay is doing his thing – and definitely not until at least October … if LA is really his final JAŸ-Z30 show.

But… like… isn’t it at least possible that she pops up on stage with him at least one time during these five concerts? Maybe not for Reasonable Doubt or The Blueprint, but Extra Innings? Also, the Queen LOVES Paris, she always gives the Paris crowd a little something extra. So… are we clowning again?

I mean, since we’re here, we might as well go all the way.

Celine Dion’s first show in Paris is two nights after Jay’s. Gossip Genie a Beyoncé special appearance, can we? 

Here’s Jay leaving Roc Nation offices in NYC the other day.

Yours in gossip,
