Jay-Z Fans Fight With Security During Saturday Concert at Yankee Stadium, Video Shows - TMZ
Jay-Z's concert at Yankee Stadium was interrupted by a physical altercation between fans and security guards. The incident occurred during a performance of 'Empire State of Mind' and was reportedly sparked by fans refusing to sit in their assigned seats.
Why it matters
High-profile public events often face security challenges, and this incident highlights the ongoing tension between crowd management and fan behavior at major stadium concerts.
Jay-Z's second night of his three shows at Yankee Stadium was not without crowd drama ... two fans seemingly got into it with security guards -- and were then restrained and escorted away.
The legendary rapper hit the stage at the famous Bronx ballpark on Saturday night and, at one point, Alicia Keys joined him on stage to perform their iconic song, "Empire State of Mind." That's when things got heated between the fans and security guards.
TMZ obtained exclusive video showing one of the fans getting up from the ground with security around them. Once he was on his feet, the fan slugs a security officer in the face before he's taken away by several other guards.
Then another fan is seen lying on the ground with one security guard kneeling on his body to restrain him. We're told he, too, was escorted away.
