Beyonce was one of many notable names on-hand at the Brooklyn Public Library last night where the life and legacy of JAY-Z were celebrated by way of an immersive exhibition.

Queen Bey toasted the Rap royal at his hometown honoring, along with the likes of Blue Ivy, DJ Khaled, and Alicia Keys.

Reportedly a surprise to the MC, the event brought with it an exhibit – ‘The Book of HOV’ – which visually spotlighted his iconic album covers, key lyrics, awards, and much more.

The spectacle was mounted in tandem with the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop.
