Beyonce Verbally Attacked By Heckler At Jay-Z’s Concert

Beyonce was attacked by a pesky heckler as the superstar joined a mosh pit in support of husband Jay-Z’s performance at Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend Saturday which boasted a crowd of 50,000.

Not one to usually concern herself with negative commentators, Saturday was different when she quickly alerted Jay’s bodyguards that a problem was brewing when a disgruntled, drunk fan began yelling at her.

“Whatever was said, it really upset Beyoncé. Jay-Z’s bodyguards weren’t going to have any of it. They waded in and there was a massive ruckus,” a source tells Daily Star. “It got pretty ugly and Beyoncé was whisked away so she wouldn’t get caught in the middle of it.”

Prior to the incident, Bey was seen acting like a fan when Jay’s notorious hit “N***** In Paris” was performed by he and rapper Kanye.

“Make your family proud,” Jay joked before launching into the song for the second time in a row.

When the “99 Problems” rapper asked for the main lights to be put on the crowd, specifically the ones on the VIP crowd his wife was apart, the “Halo” singer and friends threw themselves into the melee that went straight ballistic.

As much as the “Crazy In Love” singer tried to fit in, her bigger-than-life blonde curls peeped from under her hooded rain gear that strategically clashed with her flaming red lips.

Rarely one to disappoint, the mother-of-one looked cute in her short black shorts, a bra top, and a black top.

Overall, Bey’s night wasn’t destroyed and the heckler was taken away after she pointed him out to the security guards. Later that weekend Beyonce joined her younger sister Solange Knowles to celebrate her 26th birthday with a helicopter ride! See the photo below courtesy of Solange’es Twitter page!

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
