Jay-Z performed with his daughter Blue Ivy Carter accompanying him on piano at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on October 23. The 14-year-old joined him for “The Story of O.J.” and “Dead Presidents” as he opened his JAŸ-Z30 concerts.

The performances mark two milestones: 30 years since his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, and 25 years since The Blueprint. A second SoFi Stadium concert is scheduled for October 24 to conclude the anniversary series.

Other guests included Scarface, who performed “This Can’t Be Life” and “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” For “God Did,” Jay-Z was accompanied by John Legend and DJ Khaled. The show also included “99 Problems,” “Run This Town” and “Empire State of Mind.”

According to Us Weekly, the audience applauded Blue Ivy, and Jay-Z hugged her before she departed the stage. Complex reported that the rapper also honored the late Nipsey Hussle by incorporating selections of his music.

Blue Ivy previously accompanied her father on piano for “Feelin’ It” at his July 2026 Yankee Stadium concert in New York City. She has also danced in performances with her mother, Beyoncé, on the Renaissance World Tour and Cowboy Carter Tour.
