His chain is still being worn by the most beautiful woman in the room.
On Christmas Day, as the Baltimore Ravens were playing the Houston Texans, Jay-Z was seen quietly supporting his wife, Beyoncé, during her halftime performance before the game.
A fan saw the rapper inside NRG Stadium in Houston with the couple's daughter Rumi, who is seven years old, as well as the singer's mother, Tina Knowles, and Michelle Williams, who was a former bandmate of the rap group Destiny's Child. The rapper did not appear in the livestream that was shown on Netflix on Wednesday.
According to Page Six, over the course of the video that was uploaded to Instagram, Jay-Z, who is 55 years old, can be seen walking across the stadium while carrying a bottle of Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Champagne in one hand with his family following closely behind.
Tina, who is 70 years old, and Williams, who is 45 years old, donned white cowboy hats to pay respect to Beyoncé's country album "Cowboy Carter." He wore a flowery cardigan, a white T-shirt, black jeans, a black knit beanie, and sunglasses for the occasion.
A blue frosty treat was being nibbled on by Rumi, who was wearing a cream sweater, a white skirt, and a pink Chanel crossbody purse. Rumi looked really charming in her ensemble.
Beyoncé, who is 43 years old, began her musical performance by making a spectacular arrival on horseback while wearing a crystal-covered white bodysuit, chaps, and a cowboy hat. Her performance lasted for thirteen minutes.
A number of songs from the album "Cowboy Carter" were played for the very first time by the artist known for "Halo." These songs included "16 Carriages," "Ya Ya," and "Jolene."
Post Malone joined her on the field for their collaboration, which was titled "Levii's Jeans," while she and Shaboozey collaborated on the sound of their song "Sweet Honey Buckiin'."
Additionally, Beyoncé sang a rendition of the Beatles' song "Blackbird" alongside a group of up-and-coming country singers, including Tanner Adell, Brittany Spencer, Reyna Roberts, and Tiera Kennedy.
Beyoncé's performance was capped off with her chart-topping single "Texas Hold 'Em," and her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, who is 12 years old, stole the show by joining her mother as a backup dancer so that she could finish off her performance.
The National Football League (NFL) and Netflix made the announcement in November that the 32-time Grammy winner will sing songs from her most recent album that debuted at number one at halftime of the NFL game in her birthplace of Texas.
Some fans were under the impression that Beyoncé's Christmas concert would be canceled because Jay-Z was accused of raping a girl who was 13 years old at a house party in the year 2000. The incident allegedly occurred alongside his longtime friend and partner Sean "Diddy" Combs.
It was initially the accused victim who filed a complaint against the founder of Bad Boy Records, who was also 55 years old. In the case, the alleged victim stated that an anonymous male celebrity had also engaged in the act while an unnamed female celebrity observed.
When the complaint was revised on December 8th, Jay-Z was named as the male celebrity in question.
Jane Doe alleged in the suit that Combs' MTV Video Music Awards afterparty made her "woozy" after drinking.
Jay-Z, whose actual name is Shawn Carter, held her down as Combs raped her in a bedroom. Doe said the Roc Nation Records founder raped her.
The woman stated in her complaint that the anonymous female celebrity watched without intervening.
After the updated complaint was announced, Jay-Z disputed the charges and said Tony Buzbee was trying to "blackmail" him. (Combs' spokesman denied rape.)
The next day, the "Hard Knock Life" rapper attempted to dismiss the complaint and name the accuser.
Jane Doe told NBC News on Dec. 13 that her tale was inconsistent.
When asked about her father not being able to corroborate her story, she told the outlet, "There are a lot of things, and this is stuff that we argue about constantly, something he said or did back in New York around that time period he just doesn't remember. It actually causes a lot of fights sometimes in the household."
On Dec. 16, Carter's attorney, Alex Spiro, told reporters that the woman's discrepancies were "not minor" and indicate the event "never happened."
The famous lawyer also separated his client from Combs, stating their connection was professional.
On Thursday, a New York court concluded that "the weight of the factors tips in favoring of allowing plaintiff to remain anonymous."
Court documents obtained by The Post show that Judge Analisa Torres believes the alleged victim is "particularly vulnerable to the possible harms of disclosure" because she "continues to experience depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and a seizure disorder associated with the stress of her sexual assault."
The judge also chastised Jay-Z and his lawyer for seeking the name.
"Carter's lawyer's relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources and unlikely to benefit his client," she stated in the order.
Business Times has reached out to Jay-Z for additional comments.
