Beyonce Joins Mosh Pit During Jay-Z Concert



The female goddess of the hip-hop world is showing us that mosh pits aren’t strictly reserved for Metallica shows…

Beyoncé let loose during a performance by her hubby Jay Z in London during Hackney Weekend. Cameras caught the singer on the sidelines close by moshing alongside other fans.

Just prior to Kanye West and Jay-Z’s performance of “Ni**as in Paris,” a circle parted in the crowded on in preparation to throw down. Jay-Z urged fans to hold the circle, and then counted down.

“10… 9… 8… 7…”

The crowd took over the count and when they got to “one,” Jay-Z shouted the signature “Let’s go,” cuing the opening beat.

Beyoncé – surprisingly – did not hesitate. Screaming along with fans she hopped, thrashed, and flailed every limb that she had in her possession. She wore a hoodie and rubber boots to protect her feet from the wet ground.

But this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Beyoncé go crazy during a live show. Her and Jay-Z were spotted head banging along to Coldplay’s “Fix You” during a show in Manchester earlier this month.

Later in the evening, Rihanna took the stage to join her mentor Jay-Z. The duo performed their hit “Run This Town” for screaming fans.

Rihanna previously broke the rules for Kanye and Jay-Z’s Watch the Throne tour on their third stop at the O2 arena in London. Hackney Weekend is a free-ticked music festival that spawned from the Big Weekend held by BBC Radio 1. The event was held at Hackney Marshes in East London.

In honor of the upcoming Olympics, it was very important to event producers to make this year extra special and extra huge… According to the videos, mission accomplished.
