JAY-Z is no stranger to making history, but tonight may have been one of the most momentous nights of his career.
For, the formidable force was formally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Full story below…
Boasting a career that spans almost three decades, HOV’s success spans the business sphere too. Case in point his Roc Nation empire and countless entrepreneurial wins.
Above all, he’s established himself as a cornerstone of culture.
And the latter is exactly what was spotlighted most by comedian Dave Chapelle, who inducted the MC.
Speaking at the ceremony, which took place at Cleveland, Ohio’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Chapelle was one of many who saluted Jigga. Indeed, his star-studded montage featured words from the likes of Barack Obama, wife Beyonce, Rihanna, Missy Elliott, Kendrick Lamar, and daughter Blue Ivy.
Jay joins the elite list of past winners, which includes Michael Jackson, Madonna, The Beatles, Janet Jackson, Notorious B.I.G, and Whitney Houston.
His class also includes Tina Tuner (as a soloist), LL Cool J, and Carole King.

They are only in it because they have to add diversity, equity, & inclusion, NOT because of talent. YAWN NEXT!
Add diversity? The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame should be ALL BLACK before it’s all white lmaooooooooo 🤣 🫖 ☕️ Black people created Rock & Roll….Danny Thee Dummy lol 🤳🏽💋
Stop taking to yourself💅🏿 mental patient on the run! Chile 🤣😂🤣😂

And FYI a white man by the name of Sam Phillips created Rock and Roll, google it you wet dog smelling 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡.
Black people created Rock & Roll you whitewasher lmaoooooooooo 🤣 Sister Rosetta Tharpe is the Godmother of Rock & Roll, Chuck Berry is the father of Rock & Roll and Little Richard is the architect! 💯 Dummy Danny! 😂 Rock and Roll originated from black American music, period. 🤳🏽 And ya mama smells like

You can spread all the lies you want but it doesn’t take away from the truth, and that is Sam Phillips was before all the people that you listed and HE DID IT FIRST!

Congratulations to the legend HOV and everyone else inducted this year into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I keep telling y’all it’s about IMPACT not sales and #1s…. but most of y’all pop tarts wouldn’t appreciate authentic American Hip Hop, when the majority of you all aren’t even from America. Keep Sli.tting your wrists to Lana Del Ray, and throwing up in the bathroom to Camila Cabello. Keep clinging onto those diamond singles Trolls! Let’s see where your favorite artists are 25 years later.
This!
They don’t get it. Being successful in 1 thing doesn’t even compare to someone like Jay-Z who has had success in almost everything he’s been involved in.
Normani should be inducted in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Congrats Jay-Z.
I can’t hate on this man success. He set the bar high for male rappers.
