The two-night stand in Los Angeles capped off a global tour marking 30 years since his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” and 25 years since “The Blueprint.”
Jay-Z also challenged AI narratives during his Performance.
Jay-Z is addressing online criticism of his recent performances, particularly claims surrounding attendance and the quality of his shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
He told the audience, “People will tell you that nobody was in here tonight, but you got eyes. You can see. People will tell you that the music wasn’t great, but you got ears. You gotta understand, you gotta question everything. It’s been this world of AI and everything.’‘I mean, it’s been going on forever, right?”
JAY-Z addresses the hate he’s been receiving online recently, on night two at SoFi Stadium:
“Y’all gotta be very aware what’s going on in the world, right? People will tell you that nobody was in here tonight, but you got eyes, you can see. People will tell you that the music wasn’t great, but you got ears. […] Question everything in this world of AI.”

Jay continued, “We called it propaganda before, but now with the technology, it’s caught up. It’s beautiful trick. A lot of tricknology. It’s called artificial intelligence ’cause it’s been against you guys.”
He added, “It’s been against us. We got real intelligence, not artificial intelligence. We feel, right? This concert tonight, we felt.”
Jay concluded, “Make sure you question everything you feel. Machines are learning you. You tell them your swag, you tell them your name, you tell them anything, and then it mimics you. Can’t be you.”
