## Resource

Jay-Z is speaking out after his Yankee Stadium concert started nearly four hours late. The rap mogul, 54, addressed the massive delay, telling the crowd he prioritized their safety. 'I had to make sure everyone was okay,' he stated, confirming he wanted to avoid fans getting 'trampled.' The show, originally slated for an 8 PM start, finally kicked off closer to midnight, leaving thousands waiting. Hov's explanation comes amid fan frustration over the lengthy, unexplained hold-up.
