Chicago Jay-Z Concert Ends In Violence While New York Concert Interrupted By Weed


It appears as if fans of Jay-Z aren't having such a good time at his most recent venues.

During his stop at Chicago's House of Blues, a man was stabbed in the back following an altercation with a couple.

The stabbing stemmed from an argument between the victim and another man as they were leaving the concert area shortly before 11:30 p.m., said Police News Affairs Officer Gabrielle Lesniak.

The victim's sister and the other man's girlfriend got into an argument. Things escalated into a shoving match after the men intervened. The unidentified 32-year-old then stabbed the 20-year-old victim in the back.

House of Blues security staff intervened and seized the attacker. Police arrested him on the scene.

The 20-year-old victim was taken in good condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Most recently, last night at New York's Blender Theater, his 75 minute set came to a halt after some sneaky fans' marijuana smoke set off the fire alarms.

Jay was reportedly 3/4 of the way through his set when the sirens went off and the music cut out.

The crowd booed as Jay-Z walked offstage to investigate the disturbance and security guards were sent into the audience to search for the pot culprits, although they emerged empty-handed.

Jay returned a few minutes later and finished off his performance.
