Fans had travelled from across the UK and the world to see the rapper, including Prince Dean Sithole, who hailed Jay-Z as one of his role models.<\/p>\n
“I think he’s very impacting, especially for us black people because we don’t get a lot of recognition,” the 19-year-old from Leeds told BBC Newsbeat.<\/p>\n
“Seeing him today shows that dreams are possible and you can be that person that you want to be.”<\/p>\n
Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, broke through with his 1996 debut album, but it was his third record, Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life, in 1998 which landed him the top spot in the US charts for the first time and a best rap album Grammy.<\/p>\n
He went on to establish himself as one of the most influential figures in hip-hop, releasing 13 solo studio albums and several collaboration records, which have secured him 25 Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n
He was also the first rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2017, as well being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.<\/p>\n
Over the years, he has also become one of the most prominent music mogul’s in the world, with his company Roc Nation representing a host of top talent and, in recent years, it has been behind the Super Bowl half-time show.<\/p>\n
In 2019, he was declared hip-hop’s first billionaire by Forbes, having built an empire based on music, property, fashion and investments alongside his wife Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n
The power couple have three children, daughter Blue Ivy, 14, and 9-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
