Hello Brooklyn!

Jay Z has crowned himself the King of Brooklyn, so it was only right to join his queen on stage. Beyonce‘s “Mrs. Carter World Tour” performed a three-night run to a sold out crowd at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. On Monday night, following an energetic performance of the Hit-Boy-produced record “Bow Down,” Jay Z appeared,  sending the crowd into a frenzy!

Jay performed “Tom Ford” from his platinum-selling album “Magna Carta Holy Grail.”

Meanwhile, Beyonce’s fan base known as the Bey Hive may be growing impatient as she struggles to find a new sound for her fifth album. Rumors surfaced late last month that she dumped over 50 songs and pushed a tentative spring release date to this fall.

Beyonce’s longtime collaborator Ne-Yo agreed that things aren’t coming as easily, but he’s certain the Bey Hive will be patient. He stated back in June:

“I’m still putting stuff together for Beyonce’s album. They’re still trying to figure out what they want that to be, which I’m not mad at. Beyonce’s the kind of artist where you’re not gonna see it ‘till it’s right. Her fans – they love her, so they’ll be patient.”

Check out the power couple in action below – they even shared a smooch in the end to send the crowd overboard.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
